Really pleased at what you have done so far.
We were woeful before you came to manage us.
I feel we are only getting better week by week.
With a little luck and belief that 6th spot might still be in reach.
For anyone laughing at that I feel they will admit to also being pleased that we have a healthy gap now away from the bottom places.
Have a Gin and Tonic on me Neil.

If 75 points is roughly what is required to make the playoffs we need 2.2 points a game between now and May. That form over a season would give you 101 points.
While 10 points behind Derby (in 6th) doesn't appear to be much, they need 1.61 points a game to get to 75 points (because of their game in hand), which equates to roughly 74 points over the course of the season, so they're on track.
At current rates, Derby would be on 60 points after 37 games. For us to be on 60 points after 37 games we'd need to win all of them.
For us to get to 75 points would mean winning 13, losing 4 or winning 12, drawing 3 and losing 2.
I don't think the play offs are realistic this season but is this the first time we've been closer to the play offs than the relegation zone this season?
We could finish where we are now, and you know what? I'd still be thanking Neil Warnock. For making going to games enjoyable again, for bringing some passion and belief to the team, for making me feel like I'm getting value for my money.
Last night was one of the few times I can remember both enjoying a home game and Cardiff City playing with confidence.
We'll have a much better idea after the next 3 games as we'll have caught up 3 points at least on Derby, Leeds and Norwich if we win them all. There is then the smallest of outside chances of top 6. If we don't, then that's basically it if it's not already too far-fetched.
We still have to win 5 to be sure of staying up, so winning the next 3 would be very helpful for that goal too...
