Jones hails Bluebirds True Grit

"We deserved our half-time lead and I knew they would come at us after the break, but I didn't expect to lose three players through injury and have one sent off.

"It was a typical Tuesday night game and the place was bouncing because the fans were magnificent.

"The players deserve all the praise going because they were not going to lie down.

"Chris Burke was a passenger with a tight hamstring so really we were down to only eight outfield players by the end, but I can't fault anyone and they are all shattered.

"We had to defend 20 yards out, let them have the ball in midfield, and then defend when it came into the danger area."

Leicester manager Nigel Pearson:

"We should have got something from the game but there are lots of positives I can take from it.

"We gave away two soft goals but should have gone in only 2-1 down because the ball was definitely over the line from Martyn Waghorn's corner.

"There was a good response in the second half but I saw lots of encouraging signs and the season is far from over.

"We have a few players out injured, but so have many other clubs and I am not downbeat and still think that we can finish the season strongly."
