Cardiff boss Mick McCarthy said:



"I think a draw was fair, yes, I couldn't sit here and say we deserved to win the game.

"I can sit here and say we should have won the game from that position.

"I can say we will take the point as once they got momentum we had to fight it out. I will take the point all day.

"That throw-in is a really good weapon, whoever is throwing it in, be it Will Vaulks or Rory Delap, because it is so flat."

For some reason, we just didn't seem to be up to standard. Every time we got the ball we just went route 1 and passed it to the Middlesbrough back 4. Definitely didn't deserve to score and to get a point. Was it that we played the same team 1 too many times? just McCarthys tactics? or the team performance today? Whatever it was, well, it just needs to be looked beyond and fixed in time for Derby. But in the big picture, we got 19/21 points in February, so on the next month and stay strong.

Big Mick:

“I can’t say that we deserved to win. But I can say that we should have done, once we got ourselves into that position.

“Their goal shouldn’t end up in our net, but it does, which is disappointing, but I’ll take the point."
