Player Ratings:


Matt Turner (7) - Made two big saves at the end of the first half. Could've commanded his area better, that's where the second comes from. Distribution was okay.


Perry Ng (8) MOTM - Scored with an excellent goal from his own making, and a top-draw finish. Defensively sound.


Will Fish (5) - Just struggled throughout, physically and on the ball. Shrugged off too easily on a few occasions, and lacked quality in possession.


Dylan Lawlor (5) - Another sloppy showing in possession, just lucky to go unpunished this game. Contributed with some decent defensive pieces.


Joel Bagan (6.5) - Had a decent half of action. Defensively sound and worked well with Willock going forward.


Ryan Wintle (6) - Tidy in possession and looked to get City forward. Squandered City's biggest chance at a winner. Offered little out of possession.


Alex Robertson (5.5) - Frustrating own goal after being City's arguably best player up to that point. Strong in possession and did okay out of possession.


Omari Kellyman (7) - Cardiff's most lively player in the final third. Came close in the first half. Carried the ball really well and movement was impressive.


Cian Ashford (6.5) - Battled hard and was direct in possession, just little came off for Ashford.


Chris Willock (6.5) - Was fairly lively for City down the left. Similar to story to Ashford, really. Little came off, not through a lack of effort.


Yousef Salech (6.5) - Nice lay off for Ng's goal. Movement was impressive, but spent large spells out of the game.


Subs:


Ronan Kpakio (6) - A quiet half on the pitch.


Callum Robinson (6) - Struggled to get into the game. One or two nice pieces but largely quiet.


Isaak Davies (6) - Had little to no involvement in his cameo.


David Turnbull (N/A)


Summary:


A disappointing defeat with Cardiff looking tired. A little bit of time to recoup ahead of a busy end to the year.
