MY VIEW: A REAL RELEGATION 6 POINTER TODAY AND CARDIFF WON IT:
YES
A TALE OF 2 HALVES YET AGAIN BY CARDIFF:
CARDIFF WERE DREADFUL ONCE AGAIN IN THE FIRST-HALF WITH ALNWICK THANKFULLY KEEPING IT 0-0 AND A GOAL DISSALOWED FOR DERBY THAT LOOKED TOTALLY ONSIDE / CARDIFF GET SOME LUCK:
BUT 3 VERY VERY VALUABLE PTS:
Cardiff went in to this game after a great run of 7 games undefeated, whilst Derby have struggled on the road this season, picking up seven out of a possible 42 points away from home.
The Rams are without a win in six, in fact six defeats in a row , with their last victory coming against WBA on Boxing Day.
Derby before today were in the Bottom 3.
ALNWICK MAN IF THE MATCH
THESE 3 VALUABLE POINTS AND CARDIFF ARE FINALLY PULLING AWAY FROM THE BOTTOM 3 / YES
This was so important, so the Win means so much.
