RAMS RATINGS

-

RYAN ALLSOP 6

Untroubled in the first half as Cardiff City failed to register an attempt on target. Did not have too much to do in the second half before he was replaced by Roos.

JASON KNIGHT 6

The midfielder played at rightback and got in a tangle with Cardiff City striker Jordan Hugill when the visitors wanted a penalty. Stuck at his task.

CURTIS DAVIES 6

Another steady display by the experience­d defender, who has played every minute of the 46 League games this season, a fantastic achievemen­t. His late effort was saved by Dillon Phillips.

EIRAN CASHIN 7

Calm, composed and strong in his work at the heart of the defence. The youngster has been hugely impressive since breaking into the team.

CRAIG FORSYTH 7

Strong first half from the leftback, who pushed forward as much as possible to supplement attacks. Did the same in the second half before being replaced by Ebosele.

MAX BIRD 7

Really good first half from the midfielder, wanted the ball and used it sensibly. Derby had around 70% possession and he kept the team ticking.

LIAM THOMPSON 7

Great energy and enthusiasm in his performanc­e, did his work at pace as well to give Cardiff problems. Saw a shot in the first half saved by Phillips.

MALCOLM EBIOWEI 7

A threat from the right, got on the ball and took on defenders. Full of confidence, can beat his marker with ease at times. He hit one wonderful raking 50-yard crossfield pass.

RAVEL MORRISON 6

Drifted in and out of the contest with some promising moments on the ball.

LOUIE SIBLEY 6

Looked set to find the net at the back post in the first half before the keeper made a block. Kept working and looking to make things happen.

TOM LAWRENCE 7

The skipper looked to make things happen in the final third and was denied a goal in the first half by Phillips’ fine save. Received a standing ovation when substitute­d after an hour. He is one of a number of players out of contract this summer.

SUBSTITUTE­S:

LUKE PLANGE (FOR LAWRENCE, 59) 6

FESTY EBOSELE (FOR FORSYTH, 65) 6

KELLE ROOS (FOR ALLSOP, 71) 6
