Cardiff City Player Ratings
Neil Etheridge – 6.5/10
The goalkeeper had a very straightforward game this afternoon and didn’t have a save to make. Organised his defence well.
Lee Peltier – 8/10
The right-back had an excellent game. He stretched Hull when he got forward and also defended well against Grosicki whenever he got forward.
Sean Morrison – 10/10
The ultimate performance from the centre-back. He dominated in the air and also grabbed himself a brace. Won Cardiff the match.
Sol Bamba – 8/10
The experienced centre-back had another great game. He tackled well when needed and also won all of his headers.
Joe Bennett – 7/10
Just another day at the office for the left-back. Didn’t do anything too stylish but nothing got past him on the left.
Joe Ralls – 8/10
The 24-year-old midfielder had an excellent game. He tackled well and also looked threatening on the attack when he got forward. Grabbed a great assist for his team.
Aron Gunnarsson – N/A
Came off injured after 9 minutes.
Callum Paterson – 7/10
Broke up the play well in the middle of the park and also managed a couple of shots. Had a good all-round game.
Nathaniel Mendez-Laing – 8/10
The 26-year-old had an excellent game. He tracked back well and also looked threatening every time he got forward. Got a good assist for his team.
Junior Hoilett – 8/10
Drove the Hull City defence mad with his direct play and also worked really hard defensively. Full of graft.
Kenneth Zohore – 7/10
Zohore worked hard and was a nuisance for the Hull City defence. He won a lot in the air to set up good chances for his team.
Substitutes
Marko Grujic – 6/10
Grujic came on for the injured Gunnarsson in the 9th minute but didn’t have the best of games. He was then subbed off at half-time.
Craig Bryson – 6/10
Replaced Grujic at half-time and again had a pretty ineffective game. Warnock just couldn’t find a central midfielder that would work for him today!
Gary Madine – 6/10
Replaced Kenneth Zohore in the 89th minute.
