Mark Hudson urges goal-shy Cardiff City players to have 'more belief'
"It was a clean sheet against a good side.”
The Bluebirds were held to a goalless draw at Cardiff City Stadium on Boxing Day
QPR have only won 1 of their last 8 games and Cardiff are the lowest scorers in the Championship and Hudson feels positive:

Cardiff City manager Mark Hudson wants his players to have 'more belief' in front of goal.
Cardiff City manager Mark Hudson said his players were disappointed they didn't come away with all three points against QPR and thinks his players need more "belief" in front of goal to convert those draws into wins.
Cardiff are now winless in five and have come out on top in only two of their last 11 games, however they had a number of opportunities to take the spoils in the Boxing Day clash with the west London club.
QPR had won one game from their last seven games before today.
MARK HUDSON:
And, speaking about the result after the game, Hudson said: "I'm disappointed not to get the three points, really.
"Callum O'Dowda's header just about hit the side netting, Kion was in the right place. We know he has been excellent in the last two-and-a-half games and is showing signs of being a top forward.
"We have showed we can create over and over again in the games we played. But we need more belief in front of goal.
"It was a clean sheet against a good side on the back of scoring late away against Preston North End.
"The boys are a bit disappointed they didn't get three and I second that. We wanted to send the fans home with three points. But the work rate, endeavour and willingness to fight, long may that continue."
It's three straight draws in a row now after the World Cup break, but QPR are a team which occupied the top spot in the division not so long ago and are gunning for the play-offs this term.
"I know we are disappointed we didn't get the three points, but we competed against a really top side," he added.
"We went down there, had a man sent off and they dominated the game in the early part of the season. But we showed we can go against the top teams. That's three unbeaten - but we need to turn them into wins.
"A bit of belief in front of goal and we could have taken the three."
"We are in constant dialogue," Hudson said of the embargo. "They are in conversations at the moment and there is a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes and i am told things are going well."

Hang on Mark....
Most of our possession is tossing around between the goalie, centre halfs and CMs facing our goalie, to say the opposition are waiting for us is an understatement, I guess our game plan is to bore them to death. Rarely do the full backs gamble and overlap, so basically its 6 in a rigid defensive shape and 4 up top.
Our AMC (Robinson) lives of scraps and has to make his own plays and the two wide attacking midfielders get the ball with two defenders waiting for them.
If we do go long, Etete jumps a second too late every time and misses the ball. We have no set play game as we have some height but absolutely no physicality.
We need better, but it starts in the dug out.
