Cardiff have a four point gap over Blackpool and City now play twice before Blackpool play again. City COULD open up a healthy gap with victories tonight against Sheff Utd and on Saturday lunchtine in the live Sky game against Crystal Palace. Of course we could end up losing both games and dragging ourselves into a right battle for 6th place. But ever the optimist I'd rather look at things positively.
A small run now of three or four decent results could turbo boost City into the play offs. Let's do the oppostite of what happened last season.
