CARDIFF CITY PLAYER RATINGS (VERSUS FULHAM)

The Cardiff City player ratings as defensive stalwart struggles but Josh Murphy shows promising signs
By Glen Williams


Here are the player ratings after Cardiff City's 1-1 draw with Fulham


Alex Smithies 7

Had to cope with a barrage of shots from Fulham's front three and largely stood up to the task. A solid outing.


Lee Peltier 6

Had to deal with a number of attacks down his wing but did so well, with the help of Whyte.


Sean Morrison 6

Kept Aleksandar Mitrovic quiet for large portions of the evening and was cool under pressure with the ball at his feet.


Aden Flint 5

Played the killer pass for Murphy's goal, but other than that was aimless with his distribution.


Joe Bennett 4

A difficult night up against Steven Sessegnon and Ivan Cavaleiro. Also sloppy in possession at times, which is unlike him.


Leandro Bacuna 6

Physical, abrasive and did his utmost to disturb Fulham's midfielders. Stuck to that task earnestly.


Joe Ralls 7

Another steady performance from Cardiff's most consistent player. Tenacious in defence and creative in attack.


Lee Tomlin 6

One otherworldly pass to play in Glatzel, other than that was unable to inflict as much damage as he would have liked.


Josh Murphy 8 (Star man)

A performance that was much needed by the winger. He needs to add more goals and he will hope this is just the start.


Gavin Whyte 7

Bright, lively and looked the most likely to create something early on. Yes, he might lack quality at times but a real team player.


Robert Glatzel 5

Had one clear-cut chance denied by the goalkeeper. Would have loved to have got the monkey off his back by scoring.


Callum Paterson (on for Tomlin 64) 6

Hustled and harried when he was brought on, but could not find the end product.


Junior Hoilett (on for Whyte 64) 7

Another encouraging outing for the winger, looked dangerous with his crosses after being introduced.


Nathaniel Mendez-Laing (on for Murphy 81) 6

Brought on late and played a lovely ball in to Glatzel, but the striker couldn't convert.

Murphy an 8 ?,take away his goal and I personally thought he was really poor

Bacuna not far off MoM imho.

Having a laugh mate. Murphy was awful bar 1 or 2 runs and a goal.

Bacuna outstanding!!!!

You'd have to be a complete f*cking idiot to give Murphy an 8 Jesus!

Who do these people hire these days

Agree 100%. Just as I was saying to my son Warnock should replace him at half time he scored!
