JED STEER

Made a great save from Joe Ralls, but was beaten by three well-worked goals. 6

KYLE DEMPSEY

Was competitive at right-back in place of the suspended Tommy Smith. 7

JASON DAVIDSON

Had an unwanted part in all three Cardiff goals and it was a tough afternoon for him. 5

MARTIN CRANIE

Back at centre-back for banned skipper Mark Hudson and put in a decent display. 7

JOEL LYNCH

Only a needless ninth caution of the season spoiled a solid show by the stand-in skipper. 7

JONATHAN HOGG

Put in some crunching tackles and worked hard to break up Cardiff attacks. 6

EMYR HUWS

Often dropped back to help out the centre-backs before being forced off injured. 6

KARIM MATMOUR

The full debutant caught the eye with his clever movement, especially in the first half. 7

JAMIE PATERSON

Another good showing from the Forest loanee with plenty of neat touches. 7

HARRY BUNN

His bustling style gave Cardiff problems, but his fifth goal of the campaign came too late. 7

NAHKI WELLS

Took his 11th goal of the term really well, but other chances went astray. 6

Substitutes:

Dean Whitehead (for Huws, 59mins) 6

Flo Bojaj (for Dempsey, 85) 6

Not used: James Husband, Duane Holmes, Phil Billing, William Boyle, Joe Murphy.
