Neil Warnock: I just thought we played better, that's all on the night. We had a few blows before kick-off, losing Jazz Richards, Joe Ralls and Aron Gunnarson who have been fantastic this season.
I'm very proud of all the lads. They're all genuine. Even the lads who aren't in the matchday 18 have been fantastic in training and it makes it so much easier for me as a manager. They're all brilliant lads and they can play.
Thomas Christiansen: "The two mistakes brought Cardiff into the game as they had not created any problems for us, and then the red card was very bad for us. There was a good response and good character and we played better with 10 men.
"I believe the team responded in the proper way from our defeat at Millwall and we are going to do the same against Sheffield Wednesday."
