Fraizer Campbell says Cardiff are 'upset' with just a point

Goal scorer Fraizer Campbell said some Cardiff players were disappointed with just a point from their 2-2 draw with Manchester United.
The Bluebirds salvaged a point against the Premier League champions thanks to Kim Bo-Kyung's stoppage-time equaliser.
But former United striker Campbell, who scored Cardiff's opening goal, claimed his team-mates felt they deserved more.
"Some of the lads are a bit upset that we didn't come away with maybe three points," he said.
"We've done exceptionally well against great opposition so it's a credit to us that we've come off the pitch maybe a bit disappointed that we've managed to score a last-minute goal to get the point."
David Moyes on Cardiff City

"I think what they've found is coming into the Premier League has excited the crowd, the people around here.

"They've got a good spirit going. They've had big games at home that have been important for them and they've used them well.

"I think they'll be tough, but it'll be a long season for Cardiff. But Malky's done a great job and I think they've got a decent chance [of staying up]."

Campbell's first half strike levelled the scores after Wayne Rooney's deflected shot had given United an early lead.
The champions were ahead again before half time when Patrice Evra headed in a corner, and Cardiff had to wait until added time at the end of the second half before Kim headed home Peter Whittingham's free kick.
Before that Campbell had hit the bar with a chip from the edge of the box as Cardiff continued to impress in their first season in the Premier League.
Campbell said the late equaliser epitomised Cardiff's battling attitude this season.
"Every single player's got the same mentality we keep going right to the 90th or 95th minute or whatever it may be," he said.
"The manager's instilled that in all of us and we just keep going and going until the very end.
"You give it a bit more when you're playing such a great club.
"Man United's a massive team and you've got to up your game to stand a chance, and that's what every man has done - including the lads that have come off the bench.
"In your first season you've got to try and get as many points as possible and if you can make your home stadium a bit of a fortress it gives you a better chance to stay up.
"And we've done that this season. We've made it real difficult for teams to come here and we hope we can do that for the rest of the season and finish well."

this was the feeling of myself and the fans around me when leaving the match, happy with the end result but the game was there for the taking.

I like Frazier's attitude... We know we can beat the top teams on our day... Surprised to be saying that! We seem to have more problems with the lower teams

Annis, it shows how far we have come as a club if we all thought that we should have won yesterday, (as we should have if rooney had been shown the red card) i used to think the same when we would draw away to leyton orient in the 70's / 80's :lol:

Took the game to them and I would of been hugely p*ssed off if we left with nothing.

Great point but there were moments for both of us where we could of won it. If Cornelius at the end caught his shot right could of been a game to remember.
