Jones staying positive

Cardiff City boss Dave Jones opted to focus on the positives after seeing his side squander a three-goal lead to draw 3-3 at Plymouth Argyle on Tuesday.
The Bluebirds dominated the game for almost 70 minutes and looked to be on their way to maximum points after a Steve Thompson goal and a Michael Chopra brace.
However, own goals from Kevin McNaughton and Darren Purse and a Barry Hayles effort secured an unlikely point for the Pilgrims.
"For 70 minutes we absolutely pulverised them, but it does happen," said a frustrated Jones.
"Once the momentum got going, we should have shut the game down but it is difficult.
"It was a pulsating performance for 70 minutes but full credit to Plymouth, they kept going and it was very difficult to stop the tide.
"We scored five goals with the two own goals, but have to take the positives out of today because you can concentrate on the last 20 minutes too much.
"I felt that one or two of our players thought the game was done and dusted, and you cannot do that at this level."
