Cardiff City v Bolton - Only a win will do - 3 games to go

I can’t understand all the negativity I was hearing after the Brentford game, yes we lost and Sheffield Wednesday managed a draw but we are only six points behind them with three games to go. With luck, they are still catchable and I won’t give up until it is impossible.

With three games left and nine points to play for Wednesday can reach a maximum of 79 points while Cardiff can reach only 73 and need to win their last three games. Wednesday just have to lose all three games left that would leave Cardiff needing to win two and getting a draw out of the three final games. This weekend can kill any chances of the play offs for the Bluebirds.

Wednesday have a tough trip to Derby who have secured a play-off place but will still be looking to win for position. Ideal for Cardiff would be a defeat and for Derby to help with the goal difference at the same time.

The recent defeats to Fulham and Brentford have hurt Cardiff’s chances of the play-off spot so what can we expect against relegated Bolton. Everyone will be expecting a win but games like this have become a minefield for the Bluebirds in the past. Another bumper crowd is expected at the CCS so the player should feel the atmosphere.

At final score what would be good for Cardiff, a win and the same for Derby that would mean three points would separate Cardiff and Sheffield. The following weekend Sheffield Wednesday v Cardiff City with all the wow factor you need in a football match.
