"Now the transfer embargo has been lifted I have spoken to the Malaysian owners who assure me that they are in for the long haul and recognise that players need to come into the club," Dave Jones said.
"I took a gamble by letting players go and waited for the club to be out of the embargo and I will be disappointed if another two players are not here in the next few days.
"I think we deserved more than a point as we dominated the second half but couldn't break them down.
"Two or three games into the season we would have been a bit sharper and perhaps opened them up, but I said the players were up for it, and they were.
"We only had four players fit for the bench today and Jason Koumas is about 10 to 15 days off full fitness at the moment."
Kevin Blackwell was pleased to come away with a point and had no complaints about Matthew Lowton's dismissal.
He said: "Considering we played for so long with 10 men, I have to be satisfied with the result.
"We started off well and are very pleased with the point because Cardiff needed the extra man to get back into the game.
"I cannot argue with the sending off, but it wasn't malicious, and maybe a yellow card would have been enough as Matthew Lowton is only a young lad with very little experience.
"We coped well with 10 men and were fairly comfortable even though Steve Simonsen had to make several good saves.
"We took the lead with a good striker's goal by Ched Evans, who has everything in his locker and scored so many goals pre-season that I couldn't leave him out.
"We couldn't fill the bench, but I had to bring on some experienced players during the second half to see us through.
"Cardiff showed good spirit and to leave here with a point is really pleasing."
