"Can we catch teams above us? Yes.
NEIL HARRIS:
Barnsley 0 Cardiff City 2
The result brings Cardiff to within two points of the play-off positions, and sets them up nicely for the visit of Leeds United next week.
Having been impressed by the battling qualities of his team, Harris believes they can only get better ahead of the final nine games of the season.
NEIL HARRIS:
"All we can do is put ourselves in a position of trying to get stronger all the time," he added.
"We've got nine games to go and we're two points off sixth. It's a nice position for us to be in, chasing, as the underdog a little bit.
"Can we catch teams above us? Yes.
"We've got the toughest fixture in the Championship next week playing Leeds United, but the second half today wasn't just built off a team talk at half-time, it was the last 70 minutes against Brentford where we dominated and should have won the game.
"It's built off probably the best week's training we've had since I've been at the club.
"And we saw that today.
"It wasn't a strong performance in the first half, but it was competitive.
"Is that a sign of us getting better? I hope so.
"I've said to the boys, 'what's gone on in the previous 36 games before today, is absolutely irrelevant now'.
"It's the last 10 games that are the most important to us, and we're one game into those 10 games with three points out of three. It's a good start."

Attitude around the place feels better Annis, know Harris wasn't many people's choice but he seems to have got rid of a few bad apples and he seems to be learning himself as games go on.
Best of luck to him. One last push and who knows, we done it before

Jules, as you know I am not a fan of his, but I would rather us all unite behind Harris and hopefully make the play offs as they are very viable
Jules, yes right attitude from Harris & it’s totally in our hands
