Hull City head coach Liam Rosenior told BBC Radio Humberside:
"I'm delighted because in the Championship you have to show two sides to your game to be consistent.
"Obviously we're playing good football at times, but what you need is character and resilience and fight. We're difficult to score against, we're hard to beat and that gives us a real platform to do well in this league.
"The lads need to look at how we've improved. We were conceding a lot of goals before we came in and that's another clean sheet and it's not just down to Matty [Ingram] and the defenders.
Cardiff City manager Sabri Lamouchi:
"Big frustration tonight, one more time, because it's a bad result but not a bad performance.
"Unfortunately we are in a bad moment and in a bad moment we might be more patient, more realistic, more pragmatic, to do the simple things, take the right decisions and score when they give us the opportunity to score.
"That's why we are frustrated. We have to show the players that our performance was not so bad. I like the last 25 minutes in the first half and the spirit in the second half. But we should be more aggressive in the two boxes."
