IF Bolton is beaten by Stockport
And Cardiff BEAT Peterborough And Then beat Bolton The Bluebirds will only require 1 point for promotion afterwards

IF Bolton beat Stockport
And Cardiff beat Peterborough then if Cardiff beat Bolton the bluebirds will only need 2 wins for promotion

Simply saying Cardiff need 2 wins and a draw for promotion

Bolton wants Cardiff to lose 3 games to overtake them
As you know Bolton struggle to pick up points consistently and with the toughest run to the end of this season
I expect Bolton to drop a handful of points before the end

Not that simple. If Stockport beat Bolton they can reach 87 too.

Also Bradford can reach 86

People have been saying for ages that Lincoln would slip up and couldn't keep their run going but they have.

Nothing is impossible.

We have to keep winning games until it's impossible for anybody to catch us.

That must be the only aim now this season.

I think that losing Salech has resulted in us missing out on challenging, if not winning the league.
If we had lost any other player, we would have coped.

But we have no other player like Salech who is an excellent centre forward at this level, capable of holding play up and scoring regularly with feet and head.

Initially, when Salech was out injured, we coped well, but in recent weeks, we are desperately missing him.
I believe he would have scored between 20 to 25 goals this season, if he had stayed fit.
When was the last time we had a striker with those stats?

Fortunately, we have accumulated enough points already to almost ensure promotion.
But it currently feels an anticlimax compared to what it could have been.
