Seize the moment - Seize the points - Seize the day

Tick-tock, tick-tock ....... time is running out as the season comes to an end and like every Cardiff City fan I want the season to end on the 7th of May. After last season and the play-off final's who in their right mind would want to go through all that again, not me.

Last night Norwich leaped above Cardiff into second place after beating Nottingham Forest 2-1 at Carrow Road. We could have heard a pin drop when Forest took the lead after three minutes, but not in Cardiff were preys seemed to be answered. There was still a long way to go before the final whistle and how I wished the goal was scored three minutes from full-time. The jubilation of Forest fans and Cardiff fans was soon ended when Norwich pull the goal back to square the game within seven minutes.

That sinking feeling descended on me for the rest of the game which was brought home further when Norwich took the lead before the end of the first half. Forest gave it a go in the second half, but Norwich looked more likely to score.

Today the pressure is totally on Cardiff boss Dave Jones, the 11 on the pitch with nothing less than a victory will do to keep the Cardiff in the diving seat for am automatic promotion spot. I don't think there is a Cardiff fan who doesn't know if we win the last five games Cardiff are promoted. Looks like there is no injury worries ahead of the game, but for the issues about which loan players will miss out on team selection this afternoon. We will find out soon
