Brian Barry-Murphy spoke to the press following our 1-1 draw at Barnsley on Tuesday evening.
City took the lead early in the contest through Rubin Colwill, but his strike was cancelled out by Scott Banks, as the Bluebirds were forced to settle for a point.
“It was a difficult game," Brian began. "We started the match pretty much exactly as we wanted to; we attacked from the first minute, were hugely dominant and aggressive in front of our supporters, then scored a great goal.
“We had a chance to extend our lead and dominate the game completely but we didn’t. Barnsley scored a goal from a breakaway, which can happen and the rest of the first half became complicated because they had momentum, had their tails up and caused us some problems.
"The players stuck to the task and created some good chances but not good enough to get a winner.
“It’s very disappointing in the moment but we just have to keep reminding the players of how dangerous we can be when we attack very quickly and get players into certain areas of the pitch."
The Bluebirds pushed forward for large parts of the contest looking to add an elusive second goal.
After recording a point at Oakwell, next up is a clash with Exeter City at St James Park on Saturday afternoon.
Brian added: “I always believed we would [score a winner]. I believed it on Saturday when the game was 0-0 but it wasn’t to be.
"I felt late in the game we were very dominant again, we were very conscious of getting more balls into the box but in a certain way.
"We didn’t create enough clear-cut chances to be able to say that we should have won the game.
“I’m looking at our own team to make sure we’re improving all the time. The league campaign is never meant to be straightforward or easy.
"If it was, number one - everyone could do it and number two - it wouldn’t be as rewarding when you do achieve something.
"The ambition of the dressing room is clear, I can feel it every single day. The players tried to do everything that I asked of them tonight. We could have won the game quite easily but we didn’t.
"You have to take it on the chin, bounce back on Thursday, train really well and try and win on Saturday in what will be a great game for us."
