Tuesday’s mid-week games turned out to be unkind to the Bluebirds although they managed a point at league leaders Burnley. Meanwhile the rivals that matter in the race for play-off places won so they extended the point’s gap.
Reports from the Burnley game suggested Cardiff were by far the better team on the night and should have returned to Wales with all three points. Cardiff are now four points from the magical sixth spot that would give them a possible back door to promotion. Both our closest rivals Sheffield Wednesday and Derby both won Tuesday night so all eyes are now on this weekend’s fixtures.
It kind of looks like there are three of the four play-off places up for grabs.
Hull make the trip to Huddersfield who could still drop into relegation problems and need the points. Huddersfield lost their last two games to Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday respectively. We can only hope our wurzel friends can do us a favour with Sheffield Wednesday who visit Aston Gate and like Huddersfield, they can also be dragged into the relegation mire.
Not to be outdone Derby have a home game with a team all but relegated, bottom of the league Bolton with only pride to play for if they have any left. Cardiff have a trip to London with a large following to face Fulham. Like Huddersfield and Bristol City, the Londoners are on the edge of relegation and a few defeats and other results going against them they could be in trouble.
Three points behind the Bluebirds Ipswich are home to mid-table Brentford but everything can change at the final whistle later.
