Jones pride at Cardiff show
Cardiff boss Dave Jones took pride in the performance of his young side after watching them get dumped out of the FA Cup by two extra-time goals against Stoke.
Jones, whose side sit third in the Championship, left out prolific strikers Craig Bellamy and Jay Bothroyd, while Michael Chopra was only used as a second-half substitute.
Despite matching their Premier League visitors for 90 minutes, a youthful Bluebirds side were eventually breached twice by Jon Walters to fall to a 2-0 loss.
"We had a lot of youngsters in there and they haven't let anyone down," Jones said.
"I can't fault them. We wanted to go through, and the team nearly did it, but we probably lacked a little bit of awareness at the death.
"This has given the youngsters a great taste of FA Cup football. They went out there and gave everything they had and we are disappointed we have gone out."
