Stoke City head coach Narcis Pelach said he was "angry and disappointed" at how his side lost "way too many" duels in the 2-2 draw with Cardiff.
Andrew Moran put the Potters ahead, but the visitors equalised before the break and then went ahead through Ben Gibson's own goal.
Stoke rescued a point deep into stoppage time with Gibson making amends by heading home the equaliser, but Pelach was "really unhappy" with the performance.
"I'm not pleased at all with what I've seen," Pelach told BBC Radio Stoke.
