And what a pivotal weekend it could be. Cardiff lose and Norwich and Swansea win and realistically we've blown automatic promotion (barring a big change in fortune). The other way around with Cardiff winning and the others dropping points and it's most definately game on. The two teams below Cardiff, Leeds and Forest, meet in the early game at Elland Rd. A draw in that game would be nice.
To be honest Cardiff really can't afford to lose (or draw come to that). There's been no win in the last four games and when you have sights on automatic promotion that's just not good enough.
If there was ever a time to all pull together then that time is now.
