The mixed Cardiff City player ratings as two forwards disappoint while one man hits serious form against Bristol City

Neil Etheridge 5

Rarely forced into action but could have perhaps done a little better for the goal. Kicking also leaves a lot to be desired at times.

Lee Peltier 6

A solid outing from the right-back, as we have come to expect this season. A quiet afternoon for him overall.

Curtis Nelson 7

Really growing into his role in this season. Was the pick of the defenders for sure.

Aden Flint 6

Bristol struggled to cope with the defender at set-piece time but he has to work on his distribution.

Joe Bennett 6

Cardiff enjoyed a lot of success down the left and Bennett's link-up play with Hoilett was a key feature.

Marlon Pack 7

Booked early on but marshalled the midfield well and was key in winning aerial duels, too. Distribution was very good.

Leandro Bacuna 6

His marauding runs are quickly becoming a feature of this Cardiff City side. Another fairly assured performance.

Nathaniel Mendez-Laing 4

Didn't hit the form he has been over the last few weeks, just wasn't at the races. Could not catch a break.

Lee Tomlin 6

Pulled strings incredibly well in the first half and showed a vastly improved work rate in defence. Faded later on.

Junior Hoilett 8 (star man)

This man is hitting some serious form in a Cardiff City shirt. Almost unplayable in attack sometimes. Wrap him up in cotton wool.

Omar Bogle 5

He harried and tried his best in the physical battle. Held the ball up well but was ultimately outmuscled. Missed a couple of gilt-edged chances.

SUBS

Gavin Whyte 6 (on for Tomlin 75)

Didn't have a massive impact on the game but brought a little bit of energy when Cardiff needed it.

Gary Madine NA (on for Bogle 83)

Not enough time to impact the game. Had one header from a corner that he hit at the keeper.

Callum Paterson NA (on for Hoilett 89)

Did nothing of note in the little time he had.
