Stevenage manager Alex Revell:

"We are so disappointed that we've lost the game because one thing I'll say is, these are a good side.

"The quality they bring on to win a game… you can see the quality throughout the squad.

"We worked so hard - the effort the players put in to work as a group, to protect, I can never fault. Absolutely we need to do more going forward, there's no doubt about it.

"But first and foremost we work as a team and with the players who were out there, I can't fault their effort at all."

Cardiff head coach Brian Barry-Murphy:

"A very pleasing victory for us. So many of our supporters had so many difficulties getting to the game, we were very aware of that, so to give them the victory they wanted so late in the game was a fitting end for us.

"I think with the players we had coming on to the pitch [from the bench] we had a really good fresh impetus. I always felt if we could get a chance or two and it might happen to fall to Callum or Yousef… that's the way it was in the end.

"It's a very rewarding victory because we know how good Stevenage are and how effective they are in this home stadium.

"The clean sheet is huge. To keep a team who are so dangerous in the opponents' box to so few opportunities was really big for the players."

"I can't emphasise enough how unique (our away support) feels. I don't think the stadiums in League One have felt an away support like ours for a long time.

"You always want to give them what you feel they deserve, and tonight we did."
