Cardiff City manager Neil Harris:

"I'm disappointed not to win. I was really pleased to get in front and have a really good 15-20 minutes at the start of the second half.

"We stood strong against the counter-attack - set-plays were the only real opportunity for them to score today. We defended the free-kicks and corners well.

"Ultimately what's cost us is Jed scoring a goal from 30 yards which is a top-quality strike.

"We are creating chances, 13 today and several on target, but are they clear-cut? Are we making them in open play? Do I want more from my wide players? Yeah I do. Do I expect more? Yes I do. That's the demand."

Millwall manager Gary Rowett:

"We have had a tough period in terms of injuries and illnesses which have really stretched the squad.

"I am not expecting any sympathy but I think it stretched us as the game went on.

"First half I was really pleased with our composure. It was a clear penalty on 18 minutes where (Jake) Cooper gets the wrong side of Robert Glatzel and Glatzel pulls his shirt.

"Second half Cardiff had a bit more control. There was a great save from Bialkowski from Tomlin, then we concede a poor goal from a set-piece when Flint loses Cooper, then Jed gets us out of trouble with a fantastic strike.

"We probably go away slightly the happier team because a point away from home is always reasonable."
