The impressive Cardiff City player ratings as young duo shine in turnaround win at QPR

Cardiff City beat QPR 2-1 thanks to scores from Isaak Davies and Rubin Colwill in a dramatic second-half turnaround.

Here's how the Bluebirds rated:

Alex Smithies 8

Made an excellent stop to deny Lee Wallace scoring, couldn't do anything about Andre Gray's strike.

Perry Ng 6

A patchy afternoon. Looked silky sometimes with the ball but was skinned by Ilias Chair once and had a dodgy clearance which led to Gray's goal.

Aden Flint 7

A solid performance from the centre back. Had one scare when Ilias Chair beat him to set up Lee Wallace, other than that a good outing.

Mark McGuinness 8

Back to somewhere near his best. Flew in front of a number of crosses and shots. Looked far better.

Cody Drameh 7

A livewire when the ball was in his possession, as ever, however didn't enjoy as much influence as usual. Rarely lets anyone down.

Ryan Wintle 7

Like a metronome at the minute. So neat and tidy in possession and always pops up in the right place defensively - that's no fluke.

Joe Ralls 7

Buzzed around, picked up scraps and had a big impact on proceedings. As reliable as ever.

Will Vaulks 7

Some good moments, some bad, but generally a very decent performance from the midfielder. Played a few defence-splitting passes.

Alfie Doughty 5

Struggled against Moses Odubajo and as a result was hesitant to burst upfield and attack. Was hooked early in the second half.

Jordan Hugill 7

Did well for the most part, giving City a platform. Had one gilt-edged chance from close range saved by David Marshall.

Rubin Colwill 8

Embarked on a few mazy runs through the middle and produced some eye-catching moments, particularly when he smashed home the winner!

Subs

Joel Bagan (Doughty '56) 7 - Made a big impact on the left when he came on and played in Davies for the leveller.

Isaak Davies (Vaulks '56) 9 (star man) - What an end of the week for him. Looked like a man possessed when he came on. Scored a fantastic equaliser and then earned the foul for Colwill's winner. As good a substitute performance as you'll see.

Uche Ikpeazu (Hugill '81) 7 - Another who made an impact, getting Cardiff up the field. Could have set Colwill up for a second but made a poor decision.
