Dillon Phillips 6
Had a few problems with his distribution and wasn't always in complete control of his area. But made one tremendous save from Keane Lewis-Potter in the second half.
Oliver Denham 6
Considering it was his first Championship start, the 19-year-old acquitted himself very well. Confident on the ball and safe enough at the back.
Aden Flint 5
Had one or two scary moments and didn't cover himself in glory for the first goal. Some poor distribution from the stand-in skipper, too, but did really well to get his goal at the end.

Mark McGuinness 3
A howler for the first goal, selling Phillips short with his back pass. Also mis-hit his clearance leading to Hull's second. Hauled off at half- time.
Cody Drameh 6
Had little opportunity to showcase his talents, really, and was really tested defensively. Solid outing but nothing more.
Will Vaulks 6
Another tenacious display from the midfielder at the heart of proceedings. Kept things ticking over nicely in the absence of Joe Ralls.
Ryan Wintle 6
Had to employ a lot of his defensive nous early on as the visitors were cut open. Neat and tidy enough of the ball, as we've come to expect.
Joel Bagan 4
Didn't show too much in attack and was skinned once or twice in defence. If he is to play that wing-back role he must offer more in attack and display more confidence.
Isaak Davies 5
Struggled to get in behind and cause havoc, he just couldn't quite get the service. A little more involved after the break but just didn't have his usual zip.
Uche Ikpeazu 6
Was a real presence for Cardiff, which they sorely needed. Had one spectacular overhead kick denied by a diving Matt Ingram. Hooked at half-time.
Mark Harris 5
Just didn't happen for him. Ran down blind alleys and was dispossessed too easily. Had one low shot saved in the second half.
Subs
Rubin Colwill (Ikpeazu 45) 7 - Looked really bright when he came on. His sort of situation, a broken game and licence to roam.
Tommy Doyle (McGuinness 45) 7 - Had a really good chance of his own before plonking the ball on Flint's head from the corner. A positive display.
Alfie Doughty (Davies 76) 6 - Played very advanced and gave a decent enough showing.
