GETTING CLOSE NOW!

Tue Apr 14, 2026 8:57 pm

Only Bradford can overtake us in real terms now but they MUST win every game and we lose ours!

Bolton could draw level on points but the goal difference is immense!

And that’s assuming we don’t take another point!

Hopefully, big celebrations at Reading on Saturday! :bluebird: :bluescarf: :ayatollah:

Can't Stockport get to 85 points?

No chance of anyone catching us unless we lose every game will it could it happen? considering who we play by end season as well?

Stockport can because of their games in hand.

But hopefully they drop points tomorrow and then we know it's just one win.

Would be nice to do it at home but want it to be done and dusted on Saturday.

It's not if, it's when at this point. Hopefully Saturday definitely by next Wednesday

Chatgpt has summarised:

Cardiff: 82 points, 4 games left
Main threat: Stockport County (max 85 points)

What Cardiff need to guarantee 2nd:

-4 more points

That means:

1 win + 1 draw = guaranteed 2nd
2 wins = guaranteed 2nd

If we get less:

1 win only (85 pts):

- Not guaranteed, but very likely (big goal difference advantage)

No wins:
- Risky — relies on Stockport dropping points

Bottom line:

-One win and one draw = job done
-Anything less = still likely, but not fully in their control

At least we're safe from the relegation zone .
