Brian Barry-Murphy spoke to the assembled press following City’s 2-0 defeat to Wycombe Wanderers at Cardiff City Stadium.
“I’m very disappointed with the result,” Brian began. “I felt naturally that we were in good control of the game, but the sending off changes a lot of the game.
“The players’ efforts were incredible. We created good chances with ten men in the second half, and I thought we would score, but we didn’t.
“We attacked right to the end. We had a decision to make when Gabriel [Osho] got sent off about whether to bring on another centre-back, but we kept all our players on the pitch in the same way as we did at Rotherham. Performance wise, I thought it gave us a great chance to win the game, but we just couldn’t take our chances and we conceded.
“I thought we were in control of the game at all stages, even with ten men. I thought we were the dominant team, but the scoreline doesn’t reflect that and that’s all people will remember.”
Despite the defeat, Brian highlighted recent performances as a source of encouragement and believes that City are more than capable of responding strongly.
He said: “I think we’re in pretty good form, performance wise. We want to win all our eight remaining games. Our intention is to try and win every single one.
"I’m very pleased with the players and where we are. I thought we played brilliantly on Saturday; there was so much expression in the performance.
“We feel as if we’re learning a lot during the course of the season. We're very keen to have more opportunities on goal, more shots, more crosses, more goalmouth action for the supporters to enjoy. We did that on Saturday and the same tonight, but I think we've been the top scorers in the league for quite a lot of different periods, so I don't think we can criticise the players for that.”
