Post match Derby reaction

Derby's Paul Warne:

"To come away with another win and a clean sheet is still great. The lads are giving it everything they can, they literally gas out. Even if we conceded late on it wouldn't have detracted from my pride of the group.

"Everybody knows exactly what they're doing. Sometimes you get cut open by really good play, but I didn't feel like we did and even late on I felt comfortable. All in all everyone deserves a pat on the back for a clean sheet.

"I thought [the miss] was hilarious. My memory is so bad, in years to come people will remember it as the Ebou game, it was like a Ronny Rosenthal moment.

"In fairness to him, he's the only player on the pitch who would have got that opportunity, no one would have been brave enough to go for the header and no one had any energy left.

"I would have been buzzing for him if he had scored because he thoroughly deserved it, but I have a sick sense of humour so it made me smile as well, but it will go down as Ebou's game.

Cardiff assistant coach Omer Riza:

"We needed to stop leaking goals and we've done it again, we've conceded a scrappy goal which puts us on the back foot and we're chasing the game, we need to do more.

"Football is about chances and scoring goals. It can put you on the back foot when you don't do that. Our aggression around the pitch has got to be a lot better and our intensity to want to get close.

"We've made new signings and we want them to be impactful for us. There were some good patches in the game which we need to keep building on and we need the whole squad.

"Now it's about improving and getting better. We've picked up one point from five games, it's not where we want to be, we want to be winning games, some of the performances need to be better.

"We want to have confidence and momentum and the only way you can get those things is if you win and perform well and we've performed well in patches, but it's not enough."
