Lamouchi said post-match: "It's incredible. I'm so happy for the fans and especially for the players.
"We changed a lot of things, players, system, but I think they deserve the win. What a win. What a game. What a performance from them. The players came from the bench and made a difference as well.
"But I liked the fighting spirit. I liked the mentality today. And what a goal from Ng!
"I said to them that we needed a goal. We needed a victory, to give us a lift and give us energy. I'm happy for them and I'm happy for that. Because they didn't deserve to be in this situation. They lost confidence and what we are doing in training, with the quality, I have a good squad.
"Like I said before, we just need to play with more confidence, it's not easy. But I know it's not easy, when the last victory was in mid-November. They deserve to enjoy it with the fans and to be happy in the dressing room.

Mark McGuinness was sent out on loan for whatever reason to Sheffield Wednesday and became their best player, who makes these decisions?
Its virtually identical to the Cardiff City Committee / Board sending out Ryan Wintle to Blackpool last season and not giving Wintle a chance, then they kept hearing Wintle was Blackpool's best player.
The Bluebirds did not do enough work in the January transfer window but they got one thing finally absolutely right, bringing back Mark McGuinness after hearing non stop media reports on how good he was and dont forget they could not buy other players, so needed players like McGuiness to return.
By Glen Williams
Thursday 16th March 2023.
It is rare you see a team's fan base utterly devastated when Cardiff City had to recall a player mid-season.
But the reaction of Sheffield Wednesday supporters when they learned Mark McGuinness was to return to the Welsh capital last month was something else.
Some Bluebirds supporters were baffled when Steve Morison and the Cardiff City Committee sanctioned his temporary exit in the summer.
In his five games since his return, he has been nothing short of a colossus, despite winning just one game in that time.
According to stats website WhoScored, he has now been installed as Cardiff's second-best player of the season, with an average rating of 7.24, behind only Jamilu Collins, who has been crocked since the first month of the campaign.
If you ask Wednesday fans, though, there was no doubt he was going to come back and establish himself once again as a top Championship centre-half.
“Mark’s career has progressed rapidly at Sheffield Wednesday," said Owls boss Darren Moore upon learning McGuinness was to be recalled by Cardiff. “He’s been absolutely tremendous and has without doubt improved as a player.
“What he’s given us since he’s been here has been excellent. So we wish him every success.”
Not that Cardiff fans need too much convincing, of course, but, boy, hasn't he shown himself to be a top operator at this level since coming back?
He's already one of the first names on the team sheet now. The 22-year-old has proven himself to be solid defensively, formidable aerially and calm as you like with the ball at his feet. He appears to have matured while playing in that successful Wednesday side for the first half of the season.
There is something to be said for him playing in a team buoyed by positive results and morale, too. He came back into the Cardiff fold unjaded and unburdened by the casserole of disappointment and poor results which has plagued the Bluebirds' first half of the season.
There has already been talk inside the club of McGuinness' leadership qualities and the thought of him potentially being a future captain. For now, though, the club simply want him to concentrate on being a top-class defender to help consolidate their Championship status.
What happens after that is an irrelevance for now, as far as Cardiff are concerned. But if you as Wednesday fans, the vast majority of them are convinced his destiny is to be a Premier League defender - and sooner rather than later. Many were convinced it would be impossible for top-flight sides to ignore him as soon as this summer, given his age and increasingly high ceiling.
That parting Mick McCarthy quote, from his final press conference as Bluebirds manager, still rings loudly, too.
"Mark McGuinness is going to be a really top player, there’s no doubt about that," said McCarthy, who brought him in from Arsenal in the summer of 2021. "Whatever people are thinking about my reign and me, that is a damn good signing.
"He will be a really good player for the club and I hope he is one to drive the club forward. If not, I think he will be worth a hell of a lot of money in some time to come."
Cardiff fans will hope it's the former, of course, but with transfer fees on the rise for young, club-trained players in this country, it will be intriguing to see if Premier League sides do come sniffing around in the summer.- And what sort of cash we are looking at if they do.
For now, though, he will form the bedrock of Cardiff's Championship survival push. Alongside Cedric Kipre, Perry Ng, Mahlon Romeo and Callum O'Dowda, that defensive line is now set in stone, injuries permitting, and is a pretty formidable-looking lineup.
Cardiff's January transfer business was disappointing. There is no two ways about that. Being hamstrung by a full transfer embargo for the first half of the window, a partial embargo in the second half and a manager sacking is hardly ideal trading conditions, though, admittedly.
But the addition of Sory Kaba looks useful, while Connor Wickham looked encouraging in his cameo debut outing off the bench against Birmingham City, notching an assist. Add McGuinness' recall and subsequent performances to that and suddenly the outcome looks a little less bleak.
While McGuinness' displays and the result against Birmingham are both encouraging, though, Cardiff are nowhere near being out of the woods just yet. The centre-back will have to be at his imposing and commanding best against bogey side Reading at home on Friday night to ensure momentum continues to build.

Ng: Sabri Lamouchi inspires us:
Perry Ng believes Sabri Lamouchi "inspires" Cardiff's players every day on the training pitch with his positive coaching methods.
It's not been the easiest of starts for the Bluebirds under the Frenchman, but they earned their first victory with Lamouchi in the dugout away to Birmingham City on Tuesday.
And when asked how the manager has been behind the scenes, Ng waxed lyrical about his coaching style.
"He's a very positive guy," Ng told WalesOnline. "Every day he gets us pumped up and he inspires us. He is very energetic, which is good.
"On the training pitch, he's very tactical. We've cut playing short and we play in the opposition's half a lot more and put teams under pressure. I think it's working. We just need to build on it now and go into Friday positively.
"We have found the transition OK. At Luton we performed well, we were unlucky, Hull the same. Middlesbrough, they showed their quality.
"We are getting used to it now and we are putting teams under pressure."

Nigel Pearson: There are five worse teams than Wigan
Bristol City boss Nigel Pearson believes there are "five worse teams" than Bluebirds' relegation rivals Wigan Athletic.
Pearson's Robins relinquished a 1-0 lead over the Latics to come away with only a draw, meaning Wigan moved to within two points of Cardiff with a game in hand.
It's likely Cardiff, Wigan, Blackpool, Huddersfield and Rotherham will be in the relegation mix come May, however Pearson is confident Shaun Maloney's side will be clear of the drop.
"Yeah, they will be fine," said Pearson when asked if Wigan can survive.
"They will be fine. There are five teams that are worse than them. They are a decent side and a decent squad as well, they will be fine."

Sabri Lamouchi impresses me - I have to say. He is some cool dude, really. He has come into a side that hadn't won since Guy Fawkes night - not a good omen. Then they lost three in a row after he took charge. But he remained calm - almost cucumberlike. This doesn't guarantee he will be a success here, I know - but it augers well. His approach to football is more pragmatic than ideological (as in keep ball, pass out from the goalkeeper etc.) so who knows what style we will end up with. But I suspect, like some other managers, he will find some sort of compromise that will please fans. Legend or not, I love Sol Bamba's positivity, enthusiasm and cheerfulness. Overall, I have a good feeling about things that's not been there in a long, long time. So I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

‘I think we've been close over the last two or three months. I know it doesn't look great with the results, but in a lot of those games it's been a last minute goal and I feel like we've been very unlucky, so it was nice to get two late goals and get that win.’
