"I think we need that as footballers, to come into work every day knowing your role and having something expected of you to fulfil."

"Once we finished the game today you saw the reception that we got from the supporters. We’re looking to have a squad that excites them and makes them want to come to the game on a Saturday."

“I was pleased with the whole game. The application of the players was very good, a lot of the way we want to play was evident, and we created a lot of good chances throughout the game.”

"In the heat, it's been hard, but we've still got another couple of weeks left of pre-season to get fitter, so it should get easier as we go on."

“We’ve got a very clear idea of how we want to play, and we think that the supporters will enjoy that."

"I thought the boys were excellent and we played the way that the manager has been wanting since we got back into training."

"There was a lot of learning for us and insight into the players when they become under pressure, where they can improve and a lot of good signs for us moving forward."

"There’s a real opportunity to grow the Club with what we’ve got and do something really special."

"Thank you again to them and they’re going to be a huge part of us bouncing back as a Club."

"The only way we’re going to get out of this is together and full credit to the fans who are making the journey there.”

"To get this Club back to where it belongs, the fans are going to play a huge part in that. I’d like to say a massive thank you to them for their support.”

"The energy from us and the crowd, it’s going to be massive again on Saturday. We’ll need everybody fully on board and getting behind us.

“I’ve got every belief in this team and this squad. The whole season, I’ve been saying the same thing."

"The support was amazing today. If we can get the same on Saturday, we’ll have a very good chance of getting three points and have everything to play for in the last game.”

"The performance that we looked for and the commitment from them was all evident to see. I think that's going to put us in a better place now for Saturday.”

"It's all about togetherness and sticking by each other now. Get behind this team, because we'll give you everything on Monday and for the remaining two games."

"We tried to create and score, but we couldn’t quite do it and now we go into Oxford on Monday taking moments of confidence from this game today to try and get the points."

Omer Riza spoke exclusively to cardiffcityfc.co.uk from the Bluebirds’ Sheffield base ahead of this evening’s Good Friday clash with Sheffield United.

“We know the position we’re in and we’re focused on what we need to do to try to get out of that position."

"We tried to go for it as much as we could, but we didn’t create enough clear-cut moments."
