Cardiff manager Omer Riza:
"I'm frustrated. I think we dominated first half and had good control. My only one question for the players was that we could have punished a bit more, took the opportunities we created and put the game to bed.
"Second half, the goal that was conceded was cheap. We get muscled off the ball too easily and it's rebounded and scored from right after half-time when we'd had a good first half. We worked so hard so that's disappointing.
"Then to get the red card - and for me it wasn't a red card. The arm is up, he has caught him, yellow card, yes. No malice in it at all. All due respect to the referee, it's his first Championship game. The moment maybe got to him and he wanted to make a big call and it was the wrong one. It's something we have to deal with."
Coventry manager Frank Lampard:
"The first half wasn't good enough. Too slow, too many mistakes, not at it – simple as that. At half-time, we spoke about it and the reaction got us the goal, to play forward quicker.
"The red card means we have 40 minutes to win the game. We had the chances to win it. A lot to consider, all part of our story at the moment.
"I think it was a red card and you're grateful for the opportunity to play against 10 men. We created enough to score but we didn't take those chances and we weren't effective enough. To be fair to them [Cardiff], they defend in numbers and make it difficult for you."
