"If you class that with the chances we've missed and whether their goal was offside or not, it's difficult to swallow.
At this stage of the season sometimes it's better to be a luckier team than what we were today because I thought there was only one winner. I thought we totally outplayed, outclassed and out-powered them and the only thing we lacked was putting the ball in the back of the net. We had enough chances in the first half to have done that but there were difficult circumstances as well because that's a pudding out there.
"I spoke to Steve before the game and what they've done with that is frightening. The whole pitch is moving; it's a bog. I wouldn't even put my horses on it. But we should have won the game today, full stop. I could not see Birmingham scoring, they were kicking long balls and the crowd had turned and maybe we just lost our focus. People can write us off but there is still a long way to go."
Steve Bruce"It was an unbelievable, fascinating spectacle, with two teams who have gone hell for leather.
"We got the break and the longer it went on we looked a threat and could have maybe got a second one.
"In the first 20 minutes Cardiff caused us a lot of problems and we had to dig deep again, which obviously we've done.
"I've got to give credit to Cardiff, they've come out on the front foot and we took a little time to get to grips with them."
