Can City still make the play offs?

Last updated : 08 February 2006 By Michael Morris
Only 6 points behind 6th place, currently in 7th, three games in quick succession coming up with two of them at home, and still 42 points to play for.

OK it won't be easy as Crystal Palace and Preston (the two teams we can hope to catch) are both picking up points but we don't give up and neither it seems does Dave Jones or Joe Ledley. Even former winger Jobi McAnuff still thinks we could do it.

Dave Jones

"There's a long, long way to go and a reality check needs to be taken stock at Cardiff.

"We're still in with a shout and as long as we're in with a shout and there's lot of football to be played we're going to give it a go.

"But if you look at how the season's gone then as long as we're still within a shout of it we have a chance."


Joe Ledley

"No, we're not out of it, not really because if you look how many games we've got left, there's a lot of points there.

"We just need a couple of results and, hopefully, that will push us back up there.

"It's going to be hard, but we ain't going to give up, I know that's how the players feel. We're going to fight to hopefully get in the play-offs. The feeling in the dressing room is that we can get in there and get up.

"That's what everybody wants, everybody wants to play in the Premiership, that's where we want to be as a club."


Jobi McAnuff

'There are lot of games to play in such a short space of time and clubs will change, some for the better and some will just fall away,' he said.

'Clubs will be in and out the play-off spots, so if there was a time for a bit of run its now - and Cardiff are more then capable of doing that from what I have seen.

'They have enough fixtures left, and when you have players like Jason Koumas and Cameron Jerome, who is on fire at the moment, you have every chance.
