MARKO GRUJIC
Offered a composed meance in front of the back four that Leeds couldn’t shake off. Improving with minutes and more up to pace with things, though needs to watch discipline. Gave the feeling he could have a big say in Cardiff’s fortunes between now and May. 7
JOE RALLS
While others tire, Ralls finds even more energy. Drove on and on, always looking for ball and ready to break up Leeds rhythm whenever required. Does so much for side. 8
CALLUM PATERSON
Pushed high in the midfield through the centre of the park and was all action. Took goal well, may have has another, set up Hoilett and Pilkington and didn’t give Leeds a moment’s peace. 9
STAR MAN - JUNIOR HOILETT
Added the finesse to the physicality. Some intelligent runs of good quality and great determination, as showed when followed up Paterson shot to grab key second. 9
GARY MADINE
Decent enough start from the new signing, showing great ability to hold up play, either troubling Leeds’ defenders or bringing teammates into game. No real chance to threaten goal. 6
YANIC WILDSCHUT
One or two flashes and showed willingness to drop deeper and stop Leeds attacking space, but too much failed to come off and made way early in second-half. 6
SUBS:Anthony Pilkington (for Wildschutt 55): Energetic and got late reward 7
Kenneth Zohore (for Madine 72): Couldn’t get chance against tired legs 6
Greg Halford (for Grujic 82): Late composure 6
Not Used: Murphy(gk), Damour, J Ward, Feeney.
