POOR PLAYER RATINGS v BLACKPOOL (Away)

Nathan Trott 5 (star man)
Made a couple of important interventions early on, including narrowing the angle well to deny CJ Hamilton. Might have done better at his near post to stop Fletcher's first - but it could have been six without him.

Ronan Kpakio 4
He created a big chance when he burst through and set up Kellyman and was denied in a one-v-one chance. But defensively looked way too uncertain and was caught out time and time again.

Calum Chambers 3
A really shaky first half in the air, twice losing duels that put Cardiff under pressure and forcing Trott to tidy up. Just couldn't get his bearings.

Dylan Lawlor 3
Confident and composed with the ball, carried the ball out of defence well. But allowed Fletcher far too much room when he scored his first and allowed Bloxham through late on for what should have been his second.

Joel Bagan 4
Supported well on the left in the first half, delivering several dangerous crosses. But again was exposed when the game opened up. The high defensive line wasn't his friend.

Alex Robertson 5
Worked hard breaking up play and bailed out Kpakio with a strong recovery challenge after a turnover. Penalised a few times for poor tackles.

Joel Colwill 4
Involved regularly and linked nicely with his brother, though he passed up a shooting chance when well placed. Struck one first-time effort beautifully, but was denied by Bailey Peacock-Farrell.

Rubin Colwill 5
Cardiff’s main attacking spark, tested the keeper with multiple efforts and produced a brilliant cross for Joel. But again couldn't find the back of the net.

Omari Kellyman 4
Flashes of skill and industry, tracking back well and forcing Peacock-Farrell into a fine save with a curling effort. End product just lacking at the minute.

Yousef Salech 5
Battled for scraps up front, showed great touch in the box once but couldn’t quite get shots away cleanly. Smashed home late on as reward for his battling.

Cian Ashford 3
Part of some neat link-up play on the left early on but otherwise quiet compared to Cardiff’s other attacking outlets. Needed to impact the game more.

Subs

Callum Robinson (Robertson 67) 3
Didn't really affect the game after coming on.

Isaak Davies (Ashford 76) 3
One or two neat touches, but same as Robinson.

David Turnbull (J. Colwill 76) 3
Again didn't really influence things after coming on.

I don’t agree with some of these, as some players, Trott, Kpakio, Robertson, and Rubin Colwill, did well with little support at times

Fully agree with Nathan Trott as our ‘Man of the Match’ though, if not his mediocre score!

Ridiculous ratings. Whoever wrote that obviously didn't watch the game and has just gone off the result.

Spot on, Mike!

Those ratings are crazy, whoever did those ratings never watched the match.

Agreed, batshit crazy ratings
