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.
