Blackpool's Mick McCarthy:
"We started well, we were bright, we were on the front foot. We created some chances but lo and behold we conceded a goal. Conceding three goals in the first half, I'm not sure how many times we have scored four, so it almost put the game to bed before half-time. At half-time I said I was going to leave them all on, so they needed to get their fingers out and do better because I picked that side to start with.
"They didn't lack heart but where we are in the league, once we concede a goal, it knocks confidence. In the second half we created a couple of chances and scored a goal, but it is not enough. When I came in, we had a look at all the goals we had conceded and there was one from every aspect of play, and we are still managing to concede them. It was looking grim when I came in, and losing 3-1 at home to our relegation rivals has not made it look any better."
Cardiff's Sabri Lamouchi:
"I am happy for Connor. That's it. I don't want to go over the stupid thing he has done. He is a professional, he should be professional. He apologised to the club, the fans, the players, to me. We don't have a lot of options. I prefer to focus on the football situation. When I came here two months ago the situation was critical. It is still critical because we have a lot of games to play. We are not safe, we know that.
"To be safe we need a lot of ingredients. I am so happy for this massive result but I am not happy with the way we played. But I saw determination and a desire to fight. The last game at home [against Swansea] the scenario was cruel for me, my players and the club. But the players will not give up. They want to save the club because we deserve to play in the Championship. We were clinical on the few occasions we had to score."
