This is what our season as come down to a two-horse battle for the last play-off place with Cardiff a distant outsider to source sixth place. With both teams, drawing at the weekend the point’s difference is still five points with only four games left in the regular season.
The management and players have not had long to sit on their backsides as we have a full mid-week fixture list for the Championship.
Tomorrow Sheffield Wednesday face relegated threatened MK Dons and if they lose and Rotherham win but for goal difference they are relegated. Plenty of reasons for them to play out of their skins let us hope they do. Because a win for our play-off rivals could just about kill our season.
Cardiff have a trip along the M4 to Brentford for a must win game if we have any chance of sneaking the last play-off spot. We can only hope for the same result as December when Brentford lost 3-2 at the CCS. I have heard fans saying we have drawn to many games but the Bluebirds have only drawn one more than Sheffield Wednesday. It would have been nice if we could have turned a few of them into wins but that is history. We could have gone into these final games a bit happier.
A win for Cardiff and defeat for Wednesday would see the gap drop down to two points with Cardiff home to already-relegated Bolton Saturday and the following weekend visit Wednesday who have a humdinger of a game against fifth place Derby this weekend. Depending on results, both Derby and Hull could be dragged back into the play-off battle. Both are on 73 points but Hull have a game in hand.
Cardiff City fans ... expects ... that ... every ... player ... will ... do ... his ... duty
