<p>"We've looked at it back, the first goal's a clear foul and how they've not had a red card in the first half is beyond me. If that's not a red card, we give the game up.</p>
<p>"The first goal shouldn't stand but I'm proud of the players. It was a proper cup tie. They get a bit of good fortune to go in front; it's a scuffed throw-in that lands at the man's feet and they've got good movement thereafter.</p>
<p>"I think when you look at the goal as well, it's a clear push by big [Sean] Morrison who puts it back in the box.</p>
<p>"Why it's not a red card, I know I keep going on about it but they're game-changing decisions.</p>
<p>"He's straight over the ball. We took his excuse during the game when he got word back to his fourth that it was a slip. Slip? That's not a slip; that's just high, late and over the ball.</p>
<p>"It's a red card all day. That's a game changer, it's a cup tie changer. We're out the cup and we have to live by it.</p>
<p>"I think it was harsh to be 1-1 at half-time, we should've been in front. We dominated it. We were dominating the second half in terms of territorially and with the ball and the breaking.</p>
<p>"They go 2-1 in front and it's the quick goal, the third one, that kills the cup tie.</p>
<p>"In the second period when they get the two quick goals, that allows them to get their good players' foot on the ball. Neil Warnock can say what he likes, it's a proper cup tie at 1-1.</p>
<p>"I think he's fortunate to be 1-1, fortunate to have 11 men and they're the decisions you need sometimes in the cup. We spoke about people just doing their jobs; Cardiff players have just done their jobs.</p>
<p>"The supporters were incredible, they were fantastic. Neil's words to me at the kick-off were 'this is a real cup tie atmosphere'.</p>
<p>"As opposed to at Cardiff where – am I allowed to say it was like a morgue? – well, it was like a morgue! There was no noise.</p>
<p>"It was a fantastic atmosphere, the people of Mansfield turned out and they deserve better tonight.</p>
<p>"They deserve better and I think when we go away and look at the footage, we'll be proud of our players."</p>
<p><strong>Neil Warnock:</strong></p>
<p>"I decided to put out a virtual first team and we got our rewards."</p>
<p>"I wasn't too disappointed at half-time, we were just a little bit lethargic. We had one or two words, I didn't raise my voice to them.</p>
<p>"I decided to put Hoilett through the middle as I thought we just needed that spark down there. It was a matter of changing a few things and getting the right result, and we did.</p>
<p>"It was hard, we were playing against a team who had lost once in 20-odd games, it doesn't matter what division they're in. And the way they play, you're up against it every minute. You've got to play against these teams and compete and I thought in the second half we were super.</p>
<p>"Also, a big thank you to the fans tonight, that's the coldest I have ever known it watching a game and to come all this way, well, great tribute to them and I hope they all get tickets for the City game."</p>
