Fans, players and manager will want to look at another point on the table and feel one step closer to securing Championship safety. As Cardiff City boss Sabri Lamouchi told reporters after the game: "It's better than nothing."
But it is hard not to feel like two points dropped - not only because Sory Kaba had his penalty saved, but the fact that the Bluebirds conceded from the first corner they faced.
The point looks even less rewarding in the context of QPR's win over champions-in-waiting Burnley, while the bottom two teams Blackpool and Wigan were both able to get three points as well.
