Caulker apologises to Cardiff fans after dismal Palace defeat

Cardiff City captain Steven Caulker is demanding they fight to the end as they face down relegation.

Caulker was forced to apologise to fans for Saturday's gutless performance against Crystal Palace.

"It's difficult to explain it," he said. "I don't know what went wrong.

"It was not for the lack of trying because the boys ran their socks off. But we are going to have to dig deep and show a lot more fight and passion.

"We apologise to the fans that turned up and gave us great support as always. We were very disappointed with it. We know we can perform a lot better than that.

"We've given ourselves a mountain to climb now. It's going to be five cup finals between now and the end of the season.

"It's still mathematically possible we can stay up so we are not going to write ourselves off.

"We've got confidence from how we played at the start of the season and we've got to get back into some kind of form."
