NEIL WARNOCK 'SURPRISED'

Neil Warnock says he is surprised and sad to see Cardiff struggling to avoid the drop and thought they would "fly away" to safety a few short weeks ago.

Warnock, now in charge of relegation rivals Huddersfield Town, has done a fantastic job up in Yorkshire and the Terriers look likely to be safe after some impressive results of late.

Cardiff, though, have struggled and have only one win in their last five matches.

Speaking about the Bluebirds, Warnock said: "I'm sorry to see my old club Cardiff struggling a little bit. I thought a couple of weeks ago that they were going to fly away really, they've got some decent players.

"But you've just got to worry about yourselves really and we've just got to put in a good performance at Swansea to try and come away with something."

Not terribly surprised to be honest because it's just Warnock being Warnock and doing what he's best at - getting the absolute maximum out of the squad he's in charge of and pulling everybody together in the same direction.

I think he would have done the same if he had come back to us when Hudson left and whilst it was no great surprise that he left us when he did I'd be pretty confident of saying that if he hadn't been sacked but had still been with us we would be nowhere near the precarious position we find ourselves in at the moment.
