The only top winners today were Sheffield Utd who extended their lead over City to 6 points but they have played two games more. Reading laboured to a 0 - 0 draw at Coventry while Burnley conceded a 93rd minute equliser at Derby.
With Bristol City and Preston drawing Cardiff have a great chance to stamp some authority on a play off place. And two wins this week would go some way to seeing off the chasing pack including Preston, Bristol City and Swansea.
