Sol Bamba

The defender was deservedly the man of the match on Friday night, and what a debut he had.

He was defensively superb – putting his body on the line and making some excellent tackles.

His goal put the icing on the cake for his side, and he has shown the supporters what a player he can be for the Bluebirds.

The Ivory Coast international is a born leader and has already formed a superb partnership with Sean Morrison, who between them kept prolific striker Tammy Abraham quiet.
