A late Lee Tomlin free-kick meant Sheffield Wednesday left the Cardiff City Stadium with a point last night.
The Owls took the lead in the first-half through defender Julian Borner and held out until the 87th minute when the Bluebirds struck.
Wednesday missed the opportunity to climb into the top two but are now 6th in the table going into today’s round of fixtures. Cardiff are 11th and three points off the Play-Offs.
Monk spoke to the Owls ‘official club website after the match and delivered his verdict: “I thought for the first 50 or 60 minutes we were exactly where we wanted to be. They wanted to make the game a battle, which is what we expected, and we did very well to control it.”
““We just didn’t control the last 30 minutes in the same way. We had enough chances to win that game and for the players to show that spirit and that fight, we can be pleased with that.”
He continued: “We were very unfortunate but in the build-up to the goal we made some mistakes. However, there’s a lot of positives to take from the game and a point is the least we deserved. We created enough opportunities in the final third to win the game and it’s that old adage, you have to take your chances.”
Next up for Sheffield Wednesday is Stoke City at Hillsborough on Tuesday, whilst Cardiff play Millwall away.
