Interim Exeter boss Matt Taylor:
"I thought the start was OK. We were competitive and played a certain type of game to start off with and then, all of a sudden, it seemed to quickly go away from us.
"We changed shape to get through the end of the first half but it didn't make much difference. We know we can perform a lot better than that. They managed us so well and we didn't make three or four passes with any quality in that first hour.
"There were some quality finishes in there and we didn't shift across the pitch quickly enough to close down the space. We can congratulate the opposition, but we are frustrated and disappointed because we know we can play so much better than what we did."

I saw the whole interview; he basically said we did our best, but Cardiff were superb and wouldn't let us touch the ball, the few times we did, they took it back off us again, a quality team with quality players, they blew us away.
