Rotherham boss Steve Evans:
“We’ve only spoken about positivity. The players were surprised when we told them we were playing with three strikers, but we thought that was a way we could get at Cardiff City.
“A lot of the boys had a big performance today. We wanted to go out playing the Rotherham United way, with lots of passion and commitment.
“The supporters deserve the credit today for turning up and supporting us after being relegated and the players [deserve credit].
“We will come back regrouped and recharged.”
Cardiff City boss Erol Bulut:
“It was a disappointing end, but the referee helped the result a lot…he didn’t have a good day today.
“We tried to come back, but it was not really a game where we created the chances we needed.
“Without the ball we didn’t produce what we were expecting.
“I believe we can build here, much, much better things.”
