Cardiff boss Neil Warnock hails away fans for Crystal Palace stalemate

Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock hailed the away support for their 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace.

Warnock made a point of instructing his side to applaud the 1,700 away end, with the players handing over shirts to supporters in the crowd.

He said: "When you've got fans like that and a club supporting you, you've always got a chance. Our dressing room is our strength, but I think we play a lot more than we get credit for.

"I think the lads get tainted because they're my team, whereas I think we play as well as a lot of teams in the league and we've got a bit of steel about us."

"I'm really pleased for the fans. We've had one point in I don't know how many games. To keep that volume up is unbelievable, so all credit to them."

Warnock added: "We looked at the last time they played Burnley and I think they had 30-odd shots, so we knew what we'd be up against.

"But I thought we were really well organised and broke at pace when we got time. I thought their keeper made the best save of the game if I'm honest from Kadeem and at the end we kept going and nearly won it at the death.

"I know it was a 0-0 draw but I thought it was an exciting 0-0 draw if I'm honest."
