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
