Cardiff manager Dave Jones vowed to bounce back from the biggest disappointment of his career after seeing his side cruelly denied a Championship play-off place on the final day.
Jones' side needed a point to guarantee themselves a top-six finish, but a "gut-wrenching" 1-0 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday, coupled with Preston's 2-1 home win over QPR, ensured the Bluebirds' season ended in heartbreak.
Jones said: "It's probably my biggest disappointment. Relegation at Wolves was a hard one to take, but when you're so close and you've been close for a long time - 45 games we've been close - to lose at the death is a gut-wrencher.
"We have to learn from it. It's harsh lesson to learn. We'll pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and get ready again."
