Cardiff City play they game in hand tonight a there can’t be any slip up if the management and players want an automatic promotion spot at the end of the season. There have been just too many slip-ups the latest being Millwall who with the help of the referee saw the Bluebirds drop two more points into the wastebasket.
We hear a lot about a top six finish but that route to promotion means winning the play-offs I would prefer Cardiff finishing in the top two and automatic promotion. Who needs the sleepless nights of play-off worries? Still that’s a way off yet and has long as we are winning everything will be ok.
Tonight Bolton are the visitors to the Cardiff City stadium and Saturday Middlesbrough will cross the border to face the Bluebirds. Two home games that must be won.
Bolton have spent most of the season at the wrong end of the league table while Cardiff has not really recovered from the dreadful run of four defeats over the Christmas period one of those games lost was an away fixture at Bolton. Before which Cardiff stood second in the league and only four points behind Wolves while today we are 16 points from them and they are still top of the league table.
Aston Villa who are second in the league at present were ten points adrift of the Welshman are now four points clear of Cardiff who are fourth, how things have changed.
Our recently sign star striker and former Bolton player Gary Madine could miss the game with a (broken nose) while Lee Peltier was on the bench at Millwall and is a possible defensive option for Warnock after being out through injury. There are no injury or suspension doubts for Cardiff apart from those regularly on the treatment table.
Junior Hoilett is hoping to fire the Bluebirds within one point of second place Aston Villa having scored four goals in the last five games but none at the CCS since the beginning of December. Third place Derby play tonight.
