HUGE WIN ON THE ROAD

Cardiff City secured a massive 2-1 win over Bradford City this afternoon.

David Turnbull celebrating.

Player Ratings:

Nathan Trott (6.5) - Beaten by a stunning strike for the goal. Claimed a few good crosses. Non-nonsense with the ball, and it worked well.

Perry Ng (7.5) - Got in and amongst it, winning some good solid challenges. Progressive on the ball, with some nice passing and ball-carrying. A great half of action.

Gabriel Osho (8.5) MOTM - Excellent. Got in the way of some big shots, and just defensively sound and assured. Composed on the ball. Unlucky to not get his first goal, also. Best showing in a Cardiff shirt by a distance.

Calum Chambers (8) - A flick of the highest quality to win the game. Another monstrous defensive performance. A bit wasteful with the ball, but another excellent showing from the City skipper.

Joel Bagan (7.5) - Defensively had a real task on his hands, and give or take one or two moments, stood up immensely. Some top ball in behind the Bradford defence, also.

Ryan Wintle (8) - Essentially a centre-half but stood up to the role and really impressed. Strong out of possession and tidy in possession. A new role, same Wintle.

Alex Robertson (8) - At heart of Cardiff's impressive display on the ball in the second half, neat and impressive. Gave The Bluebirds huge amount of energy and tenacity out of possession, also.

David Turnbull (8.5) - How long have we waited for that? A goal from the top draw from Turnbull! Some real great stuff on the ball as well, an outside of the boot ball to Tanner in the second half springs to mind. Out of possession showed plenty of energy.

Ollie Tanner (7.5) - Comes away with a two assists, a justification and reward for his hard work throughout. Worked hard out of possession.

Chris Willock (6.5) - Failed to really get into the game, but when involved tidy enough. Defensively did his role well enough.

Yousef Salech (7) - Ran the Bradford back line well. Intense out of possession and tidy in the possession. Dominant in the air.

Subs:

Joel Colwill (7.5) - Forced to fill in at right-back and did it to a good standard. Defensively assured, strong in his battles. Good enough in possession.

Cian Ashford (7) - Made a real impact with his energy. Relieved pressure out of possession and carried the ball well.

Isaak Davies (7) - Same as Ashford, really. Unlucky not to come away with a goal.

Callum Robinson (6.5) - Didn't see much of the action, but showed glimpses of quality when he did have the ball. Excellent ball to Davies, and an okay effort from distance late on.

Will Fish (7.5) - Made some incredibly important headers late on to win it for City!

Summary:

Cardiff stood up to the mighty task and passed with flying colours! A huge win on the road.
