Poor Cardiff City player ratings v QPR as nothing comes off and too many fail to make impact
Jak Alnwick 5
Couldn't do anything with the Zan Celar strike and was generally decent again with the ball at his feet and with his hands. Made a couple of decent stops to deny Paul Smyth.
Perry Ng 4
Was visibly far more advanced and aided in attack, but Harrison Ashby was afforded a little too much room at times. Should maybe have scored from an early corner but his shot was saved.
Dimitrios Goutas 5
Defensively sound in general and was decent again in the air. Caused a bit of trouble in the opposition box.
Calum Chambers 5
A calming presence back at the heart of defence and put in another solid display. Ball looped over him for Celar's second, though.
Joel Bagan 5
Rarely lets you down and produces a lovely outlet ball down the channel. But passed back or took the safe option a little too often.
Alex Robertson 4
Always a willing receiver but didn't see him penetrate the lines as much as normal with his passing range. Needed to impact more.
Joe Ralls 4
Brought a physical edge to the Bluebirds midfield. Hit a few shots from range which didn't trouble the scorers. Had a low, driven shot parried away after the break. Couldn't drive attacks forward.
Ollie Tanner 4
Hot and cold. Made some good runs and hit some decent crosses but also ran down a couple of blind alleys and couldn't make a telling impact. Just didn't happen for him.
Rubin Colwill 4
Much like the above. Got himself in dangerous positions without producing the killer moment. That last pass, shot or cross just evaded him. Needed more.
Callum O'Dowda 5 (star man)
Moved into a left wing role and was Cardiff's best attacking outlet. Got good crosses in and made clever runs. Led the press well, too.
Callum Robinson 4
His opportunities were few and far between, such was the deep QPR block and Cardiff's lack of ingenuity. Had a header saved from point-blank range from a corner, but a frustrating one on the whole for him.
Subs
Chris Willock (Tanner 62) 4 - Tried too hard and nothing really came off for him.
David Turnbull (Ralls 76) 4 - Passed the ball about nicely but no real penetration.
Yakou Meite (Goutas 81) NA
