Back on track - Great win

After the Nottingham Forest it was a case of clasping ones hands and shouting from the roof top ‘we're doomed, we're doomed’. Forward just over three days, and you are jumping up and down praising everyone for a victory. That’s football for you folks.

Before kick-off, yes I was worried and didn’t help with Michael Chopra and Aaron Ramsey both need late fitness test before being declare fit to play. Leicester was the in-form team tonight steadily climbing up the table.

Cardiff took the lead through a Michael Chopra scoring is eighth league goal of the season, ten in total. With the goal coming in the 21 minute it left a lot of time for the visitors to get back into the game. A second goal would be helpful. The in the 52 minute and was loanee Aaron Ramsey putting the Bluebirds 2-0 up and taking some of the pressure of the management and fans. Chopra went off maybe with an injury or tactical.

It was a good recovery after the Forest game and it was good for the backend of the team keeping a clean sheet.

The other results that matter from tonight saw top of the QPR beat Ipswich 2-0 at home, it did look for awhile if the game would end 0-0. Swansea is second after a 1-0 win away from at Coventry leaving Cardiff now in third.

Fourth place Nottingham Forest came unstuck against bottom club Preston. It looked like the game was going to end 1-1 at full time but Forest score again two minutes into injury time. The game was not over has six minutes into extra-time Preston squared the game up.

In Fifth place Norwich managed to score both goals in the 1-1 draw at home to Doncaster. Sixth place Leeds also could only manage a draw with Barnsley.
