How they rated

- BY JONTY COLEMAN

ALEX SMITHIES

Had little to do throughout and will have felt that he should have done better with the first goal he conceded.

LEE PELTIER

Grosicki caused him some problems on his side, but he cut out a couple of opportunit­ies.

SEAN MORRISON

His long throws and aerial presence were one of the visitors’ most creative threats as Cardiff went for a physical approach.

ADEN FLINT

His flick-on got Cardiff their last-ditch equaliser. Seconds later, he denied George Honeyman with a superb block on the line.

JOE BENNETT

Often turned by Bowen, who made life very difficult for him.

JOE RALLS

His set-pieces were the source of many of Cardiff’s best chances, but the away team were unable to convert any of them.

MARLON PACK

A quiet afternoon on his return to the side after missing the last five through injury.

GAVIN WHYTE

Showed glimpses of his capabiliti­es, especially in the first half, but was often stewarded by the home defence.

JUNIOR HOILETT

His dribbling and speed made for a good clash against the experience­d Eric Lichaj, though his creativity lacked at times. Hit the bar early on in the visitors’ best chance before the break.

ROBERT GLATZEL

Not many attackers will out-muscle Hull’s Jordy de Wijs like Robert Glatzel did. Got the equalising goal through great positionin­g and an important finish.

SUBSTITUTE­S

Nathaniel Mendez-Laing (for Glatzel 71): Teenage defender Brandon Fleming kept him quiet, despite threatenin­g to be the bright spark needed to change the game. 5 Danny Ward (for Whyte 71): Popped up with the winning goal when needed to. Exactly the impact Warnock would have hoped for. 6 Josh Murphy (for Hoilett 82): Shut out by Lichaj and failed to get involved in his brief cameo. 5
