Its still there to play for. Cardiff must concentrate on winning their own games. The match at Sixfields on Saturday is all that matters. A win would give the elusive three league wins in a row and we follow that up with two home games against Q.P.R and Blackpool. The last 4 home games have all been wins with no goals conceeded.
