City stay 3rd as Crewe and Oldham fail to win at home.

Last updated : 15 March 2003 By Michael Morris
Two cracking results for City today. Wigan also failed to win at home. In fact the only winner from the top 6 was Bristol City. Thay closed the gap on City but the Bluebirds still have a game in hand.

The scores today made last nights result a point gained. City needed all three but Earnie's and City's third goal in injury time could prove to be very important.

City have two home games this coming week, the rest are playing away. The Ninian Park hoodoo that has seen us only pick up three points from the last 12 at home must end now. Two wins will put us in the promotion driving seat.

Tuesday 18th March
Cardiff v Blackpool

Friday 21st March
Cardiff v Mansfield

6 points are essential as City miss the next round of games and will be two games behind the rest of the promotion challengers. If the Bluebirds can pick up 6 points next week then we could go going into the last 8 games with a similar points total to our rivals with 2 games in hand.

We have 10 games to go. The first division (a place not visited in a generation) is there before us. It's in our own hands.
