12. Sean St Ledger

Had a torrid time against Jamie Ward down City's right flank. Needs more games after five months out of action. Rating: 5

5. Wes Morgan

After looking so solid this season, even Morgan is now making mistakes. City's captain still kept battling, though. Rating: 6

15. Michael Keane

Defends everything when he is facing the play but, at Cardiff again on Saturday, looks vulnerable when the ball comes into the box from wide areas. Rating: 5

3. Paul Konchesky

Returned from injury and was steady. There were too few of his bursting runs forward down the left. Rating: 6

19. Richie Wellens

A mixed bag from Wellens, at times he passed the ball well and produced some good touches, but then would give the ball away cheaply. Rating: 5

10. Andy King

Had a couple of headers in the first half which went close and battled away in midfield, but had no real impact on the game. Rating: 6

4. Danny Drinkwater

Always shows for the ball but had one of those games when his distribution was not up to scratch. Rating: 6

35. David Nugent

Looks out of form but was much brighter and dangerous when City reverted to a 4-4-2 and he was used down the middle. Rating: 6

39. Chris Wood

City need more from the big striker. He did not win enough of the high balls or protect the ball well enough to bring others into play. Rating: 6

11. Lloyd Dyer

Started brightly and produced some good crosses, and had one excellent chance to score, but then faded. Rating: 6
