It looks as though Lamouchi may be heading into the final

It looks as though Lamouchi may be heading into the final three games with only one senior keeper to call on after Allsop left the pitch with an injury after 67 minutes played.

"He has a pain in his adductor," Lamouchi told reporters after the game. "But with Jak (Alnwick) we have an experienced goalkeeper, so we don't have a problem."

Alnwick, 29, did not need to make any saves after joining the action with just over 20 minutes to play, but it looks as though Cardiff's future in the second tier will depend somewhat on the former St Mirren keeper's shot-stopping ability.

Though his composure on the ball speaks for itself, some fans have criticised first-choice keeper Allsop in recent weeks for failing to stop some efforts that look like they could have been saved.



Ironically, the last time Cardiff kept a clean sheet - against Bristol City on March 4 - they finished the game with Ng in goal after Allsop received a red card.

Some fans may think that Alnwick deserves a run in the starting XI, but at this stage of the season, in these circumstances, a shake-up may be uncertain at best and destabilising at worst.

Rotherham have the same problem in the Goalkeeping department .
