Cardiff manager Neil Harris (who was sacked after this game) said:
"I'm gutted. It was a typical Championship game and scrappy at times.
"There were not a huge amount of chances and I'm really disappointed we couldn't find that killer moment in both boxes.
"We've lost five league games in a row and it's hugely disappointing.
"It's never happened to me before and the players are low on confidence after that."
