" 15 POINTS TO PLAY FOR "

Vital Cardiff

Wednesday 13th April 2016


Cardiff City have only 15 points left to play for in this year's battle for Championship promotion.

With the games dwindling down now at the real business end of the campaign as we find ourselves already through the first few April scheduled games, it's still all to play for for Cardiff City and this is the run in we face.

Cardiff:
QPR Apr 16 H
Brentford Apr 19 A
Bolton Apr 23 H
Sheffield Wednesday Apr 30 A
Birmingham May 7 H

Whether it'll go down to the wire, or be confirmed ahead of time, here are the respective run in's for the other sides seriously rivalling those valuable final spots.

Burnley:
Birmingham Apr 16 A
Middlesbrough Apr 19 H
Preston Apr 22 A
QPR May 2 H
Charlton May 7 A

Middlesbrough:
Bolton Apr 16 A
Burnley Apr 19 A
Ipswich Apr 23 H
Birmingham Apr 29 A
Brighton May 7 H

Brighton:
Fulham Apr 15 H
QPR Apr 19 H
Charlton Apr 23 A
Derby May 2 H
Middlesbrough May 7 A

Hull:
Wolves Apr 15 H
Reading Apr 23 H
Brentford Apr 26 H
Bolton Apr 30 A
Rotherham May 7 H

Sheffield Wednesday:
Ipswich Apr 16 H
MK Dons Apr 19 H
Derby Apr 23 A
Cardiff Apr 30 H
Wolves May 7 A

Derby:
Charlton Apr 16 A
Bristol City Apr 19 A
Sheffield Wednesday Apr 23 H
Brighton May 2 A
Ipswich May 7 H

With only five games remaining in the 2015-16 season, Cardiff have no hopes of the automatic promotion spots with Brighton sat in third place in the Championship table on 78 points, but despite recent hiccups only being five points shy of Sheffield Wednesday in sixth place, well the Play Off dream is still alive if we can get the results to make the Wednesday match on April 30 count.

It's not over yet and few expected that a few months ago.

Annis with 5 games left and 3 being at home which are definitely winnable, the 2 away games are Brentford, which I think we will beat and I really think Sheff Wed will choke at home when we play them, playoffs here we come :thumbup: :ayatollah:

We're up against it but derby's run in is not to clever. Just hope we finish strongly whatever the other teams do

Steve, Love the positivity :ayatollah: :bluebird:

I reckon we could win away at Wedneday, but my worry is Slade can't get a few wins in a row and he's never done that before, but there's always a first time :ayatollah:

I think Derby are to far ahead, it's Wednesday if we can get a run going and we play them :ayatollah:

We needed to get something at Fulham to be in with a shout

We are going to fall a few points short

Don't forget Hull are in freefall with only 7 points out of the last 24! Worse time of the season to have a big wobble (reminds me of our big one under Dave Jones).

Seems strange as I thought Hull were brilliant when they out played us both home and away.

If we are going to catch anyone my money is on them. If they fail to win against Wolves on Friday, Hull players will be 'touching cloth' for the reminder of the season.

We still have every chance of making the POs.

Derby have quite a hard run in so anything is possible :bluescarf: :bluescarf:
