    Cardiff City boss Omer Riza

    "We are disappointed. You can't give goals away like they did, they weren't outstanding goals, we were poor at dealing with the ball in the box, we didn't get tight enough or pick up men well enough.

    "To go 2-0 down to a team like Burnley, you make it very hard for yourself. We scored the goal and got a lifeline… I thought second half we were better than them if I am being honest.

    "Will Fish will score that late chance nine times out of 10. Yousef Salech hit the post and crossbar, we had our chances, but the bottom line is we didn't pick up any points.

    "But the second half was a lot more pleasing. I thought we were worth a point, but we left ourselves too much to do."

    Burnley boss Scott Parker said:

    "I am pleased with the three points. We started superbly for 35 minutes, dominated and got our noses in front.

    "We started the second half brightly but my only complaint is we probably should have put more daylight between us.

    "At the end you need resilience and the ability to dig in and we had that. I thought the energy was impressive. We looked like a proper team who understood their roles.

    "It's a shame we conceded tonight but I'm more pleased that we won. I was a little bit surprised we conceded, we will have to review it."

      Maybe he means surprised in terms of how the contest was playing out, not the fact that we're Cardiff City and we're not very good.

        Yep.
        Smarmy as!

        The Face he was pulling talking to one of his players when they were walking off the pitch was very punchable.

                I read it as a bit tongue in cheek, considering they had only conceded 9 before tonight. Think he's just having a laugh, although I'd be disappointed if every goal wasn't reviewed.

                  He was lucky they never conceded another two or three.

                    You might well be right. I didn't see him give the interview. Perhaps if he said it with a wry smile it changes it a bit.

                      If xG actually means anything, then we had the 6th highest xG against Burnley in the league all season last night.

                        The fact that nobody has managed to score more than one goal in a league game against Burnley this season is just remarkable. Ten goals conceded in 35 Championship games is a phenomenal record.

                        Teams that have scored against Burnley this season:

                        Luton
                        Sunderland
                        Blackburn
                        Portsmouth
                        Hull
                        Millwall
                        Middlesbrough
                        Norwich
                        Watford
                        Cardiff

                          Cardiff
                          And Salech alone scored and hit the post and the bar, no wonder their fans were impressed.
