CAN WOLVES REALLY BE HAULED IN?

Nathan Blake raised a few eyebrows when suggesting on WalesOnline last week he thought Cardiff could still finish first, but maybe the Bluebirds legend wasn’t so far off the mark?
With Wolves losing at Fulham, and Cardiff winning, suddenly the gap - which once stood at 12 points - is down to six between the top two.
Cardiff need to be more concerned about keeping the cushion between themselves and Aston Villa in third. Runners-up, their current position, is the more realistic position to target.
But maybe, just maybe, Wolves will continue to falter and that means two promotion places become available, rather than just the one. Including top spot, the position Cardiff filled when they last went up in 2013.
The Bluebirds have some eminently winnable games looming at home, Barnsley, Birmingham and Burton, whilst also travelling to Brentford, Derby and Sheffield United.
Then they welcome Wolves to Cardiff City Stadium, a match that promises to be a rip-roarer played in front of 33,000 fans.
Before they come here, Wolves have to go to Leeds, Aston Villa and Middlesbrough, where they could easily drop further points.
The fat lady, we thought, had cleared her throat with regards top spot. But she has had a rethink.
There are still 36 points to play for so this is not done and dusted yet.
