Ryan Wintle rues two lost points:



Ryan Wintle said the camp felt disappointed they didn't come away from the game against Stoke with all three points.

Cardiff made it hard for themselves once again by going behind against the Potters, but Kaba's goal ensured they got back on terms. But the striker's missed penalty feels like an opportunity missed for the Bluebirds and that is how Wintle appears to see it.

"There were a few heads down in the end, because we had a chance to win it. Unfortunately we didn't win it, but it's another point on the board and we'll keep going," Wintle said.

“We’ve got a lot of games this month, so we’ve got to keep recovering and ploughing on. That’s football, and we’re in this business so we’ve got to make sure that we go into every game as fresh as we can, and get the results that we can to stay up. We’ve got enough quality in the changing room, so that’s what we’re trying to do.

“Going into these two games, you’d take the four points we’ve now had. We haven’t come from behind much this season, so that’s a positive as well. Hopefully we don’t have to do it again, we’d like to go in front more but as long as we get the points then that’s all that matters."

And that feeling of disappointment didn't appear to escape Kaba, either, with Wintle adding: “Every time Sory gets anything he’s going to score.

"With the penalty he was very disappointed with himself because he knows it’s a chance to get us another two points, but that’s football and you can’t score them every time. I’m sure he’ll hold his head up and score a couple more by the end of the season.

“We’re sticking together and making sure that we’re harder to beat as a team. If we do go behind we stick to the game plan. The gaffer has put it in place for us and we know what we’re doing going out there, so it’s about getting the points and rewards from it.”
