Some of the new players and some of the younger players and players coming back from injury today:
V League 1 Bristol Rivers
Ike Ugbo 5 /10
Didn't really get much of a sniff. When he did have one chance, again courtesy of an O'Dowda cross, he fluffed his first shot and the second was saved well. Off after 30 minutes.
Ollie Tanner 8 (star man)
Took his chance brilliantly, stroking home first time, and made a number of runs in behind to trouble defenders. Also showed his playmaking ability with some nice passes and crosses. Three goals in three games.
But can Tanner do it in the Championship?
He should be given a run.
Kieran Evans 4/10
Played well against Welsh League clubs , but struggled today, quite bad today against higher competition.
Dimitrios Goutas 6
Only a 30-minute outing, but a lot to like. His voice boomed around the stadium and his composure on the ball and range of distribution were noteworthy.
Kion Etete 4
Like the first couple of games, really, struggling to hit the heights Cardiff will want from him. Still looks to be feeling his way back to his best. Headed over from five yards out and really should have scored it. Just didn't happen for him.
Callum Robinson 7
Probably the pick of Cardiff's attacking players early on, provided that zip when City were searching for some impetus. Took his chance so well, smashing home from 20 yards after a driving run.
Jamilu Collins 5
Understandably there was a little ring-rust with the odd misplaced or overhit pass, but no howlers. Just feeling his way back into it. Again, taken off after 30 minutes.
Ebou Adams 7
Looked to express himself a little more in this game, which is a positive sign. Put in some full-blooded tackles late on, which was encouraging to see. Very combative in there, a good foil for Wintle.
