Russell Slade: "Cardiff City manager targets four victories"

Cardiff City manager Russell Slade believes they need to win at least four of their last seven games of the season to reach the Championship play-offs.
Seventh-placed Cardiff beat promotion rivals Derby 2-1 on Saturday to stay two points behind the top six.
With a trip to leaders Burnley to come on Tuesday, Slade believes his side need a strong end to the campaign.
"We're still outside there and the challenge for us is to get into that top six," Slade said.
"We're still, despite a win, a couple of points adrift and we're running out of games.
"It's very important. We certainly can't get carried away because we've won one game.
"How I see it is we've probably still got to win between four and five games out of of our remaining seven to nick one of the slots."
Record crowd
A crowd of 28,680 watched Cardiff beat Derby, a record attendance for a club game at Cardiff City Stadium.
It was almost double the gate for the Bluebirds' previous home game, a 1-0 win against Ipswich, and aided by a deal which had seen the club give free tickets to fans buying or renewing season tickets
