We know the effort & the will is there, it's the guile & the finish that's missing.
34 ~ 35 points still the projection for safety. We need 15 (maybe 16) points from these 10 games, 5 wins, 4 wins/3 draws, 3 wins/6 draws. It's very doable.
Everton, Watford, West Ham, Bournemouth, Palace at home
Wolves, Brighton, Burnley, Southampton, Fulham away
We might even pick up so bonus points against the remaining top 6 sides.
Lets stop fecking feeling sorry for ourselves and go for it!
I think you are looking at this through rose tinted specs and are, whilst defiantly optimistic, a tad delusional.
It won't be too long before City are cut off from the likes of Burnley and Southampton.
I understand & probably agree but I'm fed up of those who have thrown the towel in already & want to talk about the Championship. I feel the message coming from the club is starting to echo the "resigned to it" opinion as well.Quote:

This is my club. I've been addicted to it for 50 years. I cannot subscribe to the "prepare for the Championship" white flag brigade.
Optimism it is!
If we get 4 points from our next two games, it's game on. Anything less than 3 is an absolute disaster.
There's points to be had but no easy ones either. The midfield has to fight to protect the defence as much as it can we should have been getting points from scraping 1-0 not c9ming from behind.
The teams in 15th, 16th and 17th places all have 23pts from 24 games which is as close as damn it to a point a game which would put them on 38pts, well closer to 38 than 37 anyway, the other thing to consider is teams fighting relegation will often pick up towards the end of the season as they have everything to play for and some opponents [mid table teams] have nothing to play for, its possible 34-35pts will be enough but I would say unless one of the teams currently up the relegation zone has a bad end of season then Cardiff might be looking at 38pts or 38pts plus - who knows.Quote:
