“ WE NEED TWO WINS AND A DRAW “

Sun Apr 21, 2019 8:35 pm

Cardiff manager Neil Warnock, speaking to Match of the Day:


"As a manager, you cannot ask anything more than what my lads are giving. To hang in as we did for that time, I'm really proud of them.

"We might need two wins and a draw. It's difficult to see where we're going to get a break. I still can't get over [the defeat against] Chelsea. If you saw the dressing room afterwards, I have never seen people destroyed like that.

"The fans have been amazing all season and that helps the manager. They know I am doing my best. We're all trying to punch above our weight."



Cardiff City remaining fixtures:

Why do we need 7 points?

We might if Newcastle don’t turn up at Brighton.

No clubs are doing us any favours.

It wasn’t asking much for Wolves to put in a shift yesterday was it?

If someone offered me 6 points I'd snap their hand off.

The worry I have is the Brighton / Newcastle game, the Toon are decent at home but haven't travelled well against the lower sides, Toon relatively safe now so will they do us any favours, Brighton are due a win at this stage of the season, I fear this could be their game and that would put immense pressure on us.

I think we will do well to get 4 points from the remaining fixtures. Probably between 1 and 3 points is the more realistic outcome.

Sometimes you have to believe and not err on the side of caution.

City can win both games and stay up Mr half empty glass :bluebird:

Not sure I can be accused of being Mr half empty glass. I have forecast throughout the season that we would not go down, and that I thought 17th place was a distinct possibility, possibly slightly higher. However, as I have said previously, I think the crap decisions made by the officials in the Chelsea match will end up costing us big time. I don't think for one minute that we are going to pick up enough points from our last three fixtured to stay up. I honestly hope I am wrong and you are right, but somehow I think our fate was sealed with the Chelsea defeat.

im not convinced Brighton will lose Tuesday mate.
Spurs have a derby with WHU Saturday followed by Ajax on the Tuesday night. I think Poch will gamble and rotate...
add to this they haven't exactly done us any favours of late having lost to both Southampton and Burnley

I believe we can get 4 more points,but then we will need Brighton to get absolutely nothing.
Football is a funny old game,perhaps a win at Old Toilet final day will be the final twist of a remarkable season for us.

Spurs will batter them. They still have the new stadium buzz Son is on fire and has the best movement of anyone in the prem so will exploit their defence. Spurs have stared playing really well again I’d predict a 4-0 win. Arsenal and city will both beat them fairly easily. That just leaves Bewcastle who are starting to play really well now the most I can see them getting is a point if draw 0-0 with them but I expect the Toon to win.

Son wont be playing though.or at least might not..poch does rotate and it is a bust schedule.

the odds are in Spurs favour and I have everything crossed but this notion that its all so easy well if it was that predictable id be loaded.

Agree with the point you’re making. Nothing is guaranteed in football.


On paper, most would have a comfortable Spurs win. But on paper, most had us to finish bottom of the league.

I just feel that Brighton’s fatigue is going to play a big part. They had a long cup run. They pretty much defended for the whole match on Saturday, that takes a lot out of you, and they’ll have to do the same tomorrow as well as against Arsenal and City.

Seven points would definitely keep us up in my view. Four could be enough.

if the same united that turned up against everton turn up last game of the season and we are in need of a point then you never know.
fulham and palace will both be tough games as neither have any pressure on them
