Planet Swans ArchivesSwansea city manager Roberto Martinez:
“We created enough chances to win the game.
“The first goal we conceded was our own fault and the penalty as soft.
“We knew what Cardiff were trying to do, get compact and get behind the ball and it’s difficult to break that down, but the substitutions helped.
“We are a team that don’t play in straight lines and we were unfortunate not to score the winner.
“I’m not pleased with the result, I’m pleased with the performance and the way the players reacted. For me, it’s two points dropped.”
Cardiff City boss Dave Jones:
“A lack of discipline from Stephen McPhail and it probably cost us three points today.
“I think he felt it was his ball but you can’t kick the ball away.
“We just shut up shop. Our keeper made a couple of good saves. If we are going to bore people with 10 men then that’s what we’ll do.
“It took us 20-odd minutes to get going. Their first goal was about a yard offside.
“We got the equalizer and to come out and get 2-1 up 11 v 11 we looked like we were starting to gain control. I think it was a good point earned going down to 10 men.
“I think he gave some cards that were unwarranted and I think he missed some and should have got the cards out once or twice for both sets of players.
“What he tried to do was dish out yellow cards to try and keep the tempo down but I think he inflamed it because he frustrated my players and Roberto’s players.
“It’s a great advert for Welsh football. There’s something for both sets of fans to be proud of.”
