Three points was all we wanted

Unexpected, you can say that, happy you can bet your life I am.

 

Defeat would have more or less been it for Cardiff, instead they are back in the race to finish on the right side of the relegation line. The game stats show Cardiff were on the back foot for most of the game, however more importantly the record will show Cardiff won the three points and one in the eye for owner Vincent Tan, they won wearing blue.

 

I wrote the other day about heroes and the chance for the Cardiff players to become some bona fided proper heroes, which they did. They have open the door to believeth, a chance from what looked like the impossible. Cardiff manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hope for a "miracle" and it looks like he has an inside line to god which hopefully extend to the final four games of the season.

Last four games

• Cardiff v Stoke Sat 19 Apr
• Sunderland v Cardiff Sun 27 Apr
• Newcastle v Cardiff Sat 3 May
• Cardiff v Chelsea Sun 11 May

There are points to be one in these fixture

 

 

Cardiff’s win put into context was very important because with defeat could have seen a six-point gap from safety instead of three.

 

Sunderland lost so are rooted at the bottom of the table but with two games in hand and with a fixture pile-up.

 

Fulham did the Bluebirds a big favour. They beat Norwich so keeping them in the relegation mix and are now only three points ahead of Cardiff in the magic 17th place. Norwich have a nightmare run to the end of the season and will be lucky to pick-up a point in their final four games.

 

West Brom and Swansea are only four points ahead of the Welshman. West Brom through away a three goal lead to end up with a point from a 3-3 draw. Swansea play Chelsea tomorrow and a defeat for them would be handy. Aston Villa who are in 14th place in the table and five points above Cardiff are not looking to safe and will be looking over their shoulder.
