CARDIFF HELD AT ORIENT

Cardiff City and Leyton Orient played out a 1-1 draw this afternoon.

Yousef Salech celebrating.

Player Ratings:

Nathan Trott (4.5) - No getting away from the mistake that ultimately cost City the three points in the end. Just fluffed his lines, but has made plenty of huge saves this season, but today not Trott's day. Did recover from the mistake well, made a few decent saves and okay on the ball.

Perry Ng (5.5) - Struggled against the physical presence of Lloyd. Did grow into the game in the second half with some nice tackles and interplay.

Will Fish (5) - Made a few key defensive contributions, but on the ball a massive cause of frustration. Rushed and wasteful, unlike Fish. Sloppy at times, giving away a cheap foul or two, also.

Gabriel Osho (7.5) - Building a bit of momentum with another good performance. Carried the ball well and generally did well on the ball. Some key defensive headers and defended well.

Joel Bagan (5) - Wasteful and sloppy on the ball which is unlike Bagan, just didn't click with Willock this afternoon. Struggled also defensively.

Ryan Wintle (6) - Quiet for large spells of the game. Tidy enough when called into action.

Alex Robertson (6) - Some of his usual silky footwork to get out of tight spaces, and did some nice stuff on the ball, carrying it forward. Has to score his chance late on.

Omari Kellyman (6) - Shame to see Kellyman off injured. In his time on the pitch, showed fairly promising signs, tidy in possession.

Ollie Tanner (7.5) - Lively and dangerous in his first start back, came close to a goal. Also put in some real dangerous deliveries. Direct and dangerous. Did well out of possession. Hugely positive.

Chris Willock (5.5) - Just never really got involved, doubled up for the majority of the game. Did grow into it slightly in the second half.

Yousef Salech (8.5) MOTM - Another impressive performance, topped off with an exceptional goal. Strong in his duels, particularly in the air. Really should've come away with an assist. Really pleasing performance.

Subs:

David Turnbull (7.5) - Made an impact, especially in the second half. Impressive in possession, and worked hard out of possession.

Ronan Kpakio (5) - Finds himself in a bit of a rut. Littered with mistakes, just a bit carless on the ball at times.

Isaak Davies (5.5) - Swing and a miss for what would've been a huge chance unmarked in the box. Struggled to get into the game, really.

Callum Robinson (N/A)

Summary:

A largely frustrating watch, but a point nonetheless.
