Managers comments after the 2 - 2 draw at a wet and windy CCS.
Cardiff were 2 - 0 up after 85 mins but conceded twice, the second a cruel o.g. for Matt Connolly, to end the game with the spoils shared.
Russell Slade said: "It is really, really hard to take. We were the better side for long periods and the better side didn't win.
"We should have defended the first goal better and David (Marshall) is disappointed he didn't save that.
"But the second goal was just bizarre. It was going a mile wide but then it came off Matthew and rolled right into the net. It was crazy.
"You could see how much it hurt the players who had worked so hard to get the better of a very good team.
"That goal is the difference of being between sixth and 10th and it's tough. We did not see out our strategy to keep going with what gave us success in the game.
"It is another reminder that you have to keep going, sometimes for 94 minutes."
Burnley boss Sean Dyche was less than happpy with the usually immaculate pitch at CCS.
Dyche said: "The mentality to see through all the decisions that went against us and focus on the game was outstanding.
"We were denied what looked like an absolute handball which should have been a red card as well as a penalty.
"But the players kept going on a really poor surface for the Championship at this stage of the season.
"It's my job to never think the game is over and I'm pleased that my players don't either. We showed belief to keep going.
"Cardiff are very good at home but we knew a goal would rattle them and it did. The whole stadium was rattled.
"Then we had a moment of skill for first goal and then made our own luck for the second by finding a way to come back. It's not a fluke because we've done it before and we earned that point."
