Albion reporter Lewis Cox rates the performances out of 10 in James Morrison's first game as interim boss.

Josh Griffiths

Probably the goalkeeper's best performance since his loan return and introduction to the side. A few fine saves, not least the double stop amid a crazy second-half goalmouth scramble.

Impressive 8

Darnell Furlong

Has struggled in recent games but performed slightly better here. Played his part in the backline's deserved clean sheet, won some decent headers as well as challenges and blocks.

Improved 6

Kyle Bartley

Like Furlong, centre-back Bartley climbed a level or two here. Had a difficult customer to deal with in Salech and coped with him well. Won countless headers.

Better 7

Torbjorn Heggem

The Norwegian has remained consistent even during his side's struggles and he can hold his head high here. Has been a model of consistency throughout and Cardiff got no change.
