STOKE CITY 0
CARDIFF CITY 0
The visiting Bluebirds dropped out of the play-off fray after a frustrating afternoon in the Potteries.
Callum Robinson came the closest to breaking the deadlock in the first half as his deflected cutback ricocheted off the post.
And Ryan Wintle, who scored in the same fixture last season, nearly notched a late winner but was denied by Jack Bonham.
Cardiff extended their unbeaten run to three games thanks to a third successive clean sheet, much to the delight of Bulut.
“I’m really happy with my players; they’ve made big progress,” said the Cardiff boss.
“It’s not easy for many players here when we remember the last two years with what’s happened and how we started pre-season and the first games.
“It’s not easy to change everything in a positive way; right now we’ve done it, but we need to continue in that way and keep believing in our target.
“We knew that it was going to be a tight game because Stoke have had three great wins against great teams.
“In the first half, we weren’t like what I expect from my team. The second half was so much better and in the end I’m happy with a point.
