Cardiff City TV caught up with Nathan Trott after the Bluebirds were forced to settle for a point against Stoke City on Tuesday evening.
“We're certainly feeling positive." Nathan reflected. "I think there are a lot of good things we can take from the game today, and a lot of things that we can do better. There were encouraging moments that we can look through. Everyone is really sure of what their jobs are on the pitch, and it looks good.
"We're a bit disappointed that we couldn't win, but as the games go on we're getting a lot more confident. I think we had chances, we were a bit unlucky - I think we hit the post about three times. We’re getting our chances in front of goal, and I think in other games we would score two or three.
"I think the good signs are that even when we go behind, we still have that mentality to go ahead and try and win the game - especially ending the game as well as we did, putting a lot of pressure on teams and really making them work for a point. Hopefully in the coming games we’ll be able to improve that and get the first win."
It was another end-to-end encounter at CCS with chances in both boxes, and Nathan was called into action to make a key second half save from George Hirst which kept the Bluebirds in the contest.
"This is what Brian [Barry-Murphy] wants from us, and this is what he knows that we're capable of doing. No matter how the game goes, this is how we're going to play - this is our identity. We don't care who we're playing, it could be anyone. This is how we got to the Championship in the first place, so why stop now? The only thing we can improve is how we finish off games. We'll look to improve that.
"Today was an okay game for me. Obviously in the Championship you're going to get a lot of crosses, it's direct. A lot of teams will target me in the box, so it's up to me to be a presence and help the guys out whenever I can.
"It's always nice for a keeper to have a big moment, saving a 1v1 and keeping us in the game, getting an important point at home, so I'm really happy."
