“Those players in the dressing room have been colossal,” boss Paul Lambert said afterwards. “We’ve got to remember what we’re up against here but we’re thriving on it; we’re enjoying it and I’m proud of them.”
“He’s at least three yards outside of the box,” said Lambert on the game-changing incident. “How he gave that, I do not know. It’s hard enough him getting sent off for it but the initial contact was outside.”
“Norwich defended well and pulled off some good blocks, and they will be disappointed with the result, but not so much with the performance from the team,” said Cardiff chief Dave Jones.
“The referee said that it was his opinion but in my opinion, he got the penalty decision wrong,” said Norwich chief Paul Lambert, speaking shortly after today’s reverse in south Wales. “Sometimes you get them and sometimes you don’t.”
“Success breeds success and when you’ve got that mentality in the dressing room, you believe you can turn anything around,” said the former Norwich favourite. “Even if it’s 1-0 or 2-0 to the other team, you still think you’ve got a chance to get back into it.”
“I saw – and I don’t know how true it is – that Middlesbrough have spent £11 million in a year. We’ve spent 11p! There are loads of teams that are miles ahead of us on the budget side of things.”
“Steven Smith is only really just coming back from injury and I threw him in at the deep end [at Bristol City] when he probably did not expect it. But he has done well in the last two games.”
“We should have been two-up at half-time but what a performance that was. I thought we were brilliant. I thought we defended brilliantly as a team when we had to and Wardy [Elliott Ward] and Leon [Barnett] just keep on getting better.”
“l know how hard it is going to be but we have to try and get on the front foot,” said the City boss this morning. “Yes we might have to defend for our lives and take our chances when they come, but we will give as good as we get that’s for sure.”
“We all want to get three points and we’re more than capable of doing that, but Norwich have made a solid start to the season and we’ll have to be at our best,” said QPR star striker Jamie Mackie.
