The Swansea City player ratings as loan men impress but hosts punished by QPR

ANDY FISHER 6

Didn't inspire confidence early on but stuck to his principles well and improved after a shaky start. Not much he could do about the goal.

JOEL LATIBEAUDIERE 6

Generally good on the ball and made some good defensive actions. A real shame to see him forced off due to injury.

KYLE NAUGHTON 6

The experienced defender made a couple of timely clearances and, as with Fisher, was bold in possession throughout.

RYAN MANNING 6

As with others, Manning was good on the ball and wasn't overly troubled defensively. Made some important clearances.

CYRUS CHRISTIE 7

Always offered himself in attack and defended well too. Swansea's most threatening moments involved the Fulham loanee.

FLYNN DOWNES 6

Made his share of defensive interventions and - while not eye-catching - was typically slick on the ball.

MATT GRIMES 6

Passed the ball for fun and was incredibly accurate in doing so, even if many were in his own half. Not too much in attack.

HANNES WOLF - Star Man 7

Unfortunate to be denied a goal and was Swansea's brightest spark in the first-half. Always looked lively and his athleticism is exactly what Russell Martin needs in his side.

JOEL PIROE 6

Fired wide from a tight angle but showed neat moments of link-up play. Spurned a great chance in the second-half after being teed up by Michael Obafemi. Subbed to a standing ovation on the hour mark.

CAMERON CONGREVE 6

On his first home start, the Welshman impressed after a few sloppy moments in possession early on. Unlucky not to score after a fine piece of skill and got stuck in defensively too. Subbed.

MICHAEL OBAFEMI 6

Fed off scraps in the first-half but was slick on the ball. Not too much in the way of clear cut openings but a solid shift.

Subs

Jamie Paterson (for Congreve) - A couple of decent flashes in attack, but a fairly quiet shift. 6

Olivier Ntcham (for Piroe) - As above. 6

Korey Smith (for Latibeaudiere) - Got stuck in well initially and was solid enough in possession. 6
