Michel Vorm: Saved from Campbell, but shot straight at him. Sent off for bringing down Campbell when way out of his area. 4.5/10. Angel Rangel: Had to go in goal late on, tipped over Whittingham free kick. Tried to get up Bellamy's nose but failed. 4.5/10. Chico Flores: At fault for Cardiff's winner. Let Caulker get the jump on him and blame squarely at the Spaniard's door. 4/10. Ashley Williams: Campbell gave him problems when he came on. Williams just about got away with it, but on this form reports that linked him with Arsenal earlier this year now look laughable. 4.5/10. Neil Taylor: Did nothing to justify his place ahead of young Ben Davies. 4.5/10. Jonathan De Guzman: Pulled up on a rash, sliding tackle on Whittingham and lucky to escape punishment. Worked Marshall with late free kick, but JDG needs to hope Dutch national staff didn't watch this one. 5/10. Leon Britton: Headed Bellamy's first half free kick over his own crossbar. Diminutive pass master did not impose himself in the hostile cauldron of the Cardiff City Stadium. Subbed. 5/10. Nathan Dyer: Shot blocked by Whittingham and otherwise kept quiet by Cardiff fullback Taylor. One of his poorest performances in a Swansea shirt. 4/10. Jonjo Shelvey: His usual all-action self, could have stayed tighter on the post though from Cardiff goal. Best of a bad Swansea bunch today as he injected urgency and drive to an otherwise slow moving team. 6/10. Wayne Routledge: An off-day for the former Cardiff winger. Rather disappointing display from Routledge. Subbed. 4.5/10. Michu: Led the Swans threat, but blazed over from early Shelvey cross and worked Marhsall with another opening. Faded after picking up a foot injury that required treatment. Subbed. 5.5/10. Subs: Wilfried Bony: Got half an hour, but struggled to stay onside and passing was poor. 4.5/10. Alejandro Pozuelo: Drew a stop from Marshall in a 20 minute cameo. 5/10. Alvaro Vazquez: Only came on for ten minutes. Rating N/A.
