We'll be mathematically safe before we play Chelsea

I can see Cardiff getting a draw against Brighton, but certainly losing at home to Liverpool which is played before our game against Chelsea.

Let's start looking up the table and see how high up we can get. I think 44 points is achievable and would be remarkable considering where we were after the Everton defeat

No reason why we can’t take a few more points between now and the end if the season. It’d be nice to end with 41+

Maybe SD could then have a little experiment, maybe see what Brady, Gibson and Vidra have to offer

Get as high up the table as possible, it's all about the money.

Once we are mathmatically safe, i would love to see gibson, vydra, and brady to get some significant minutes. Its like 2 million extra per slot for finishing? I think getting them playing time would be more important.

Given where we were on boxing day, and the tubbing they gave us, and where we've may have got to, when we play 'em at theirs.

I'd love to take 3 points off Everton at Goodison and successfully complete Operation Leapfrog.

I was thinking that. I feel 11th is doable.

Points wise we are now closer to 7th place than 18th place

Re: We’ll be mathematically safe before we play Chelsea.


Maybe I’m a little distracted watching The Masters, but how do you figure we’ll be safe before Chelsea game?

Cardiff play twice before we next play. If they pick up less than two points then we’ll be mathematically safe before we play Chelsea.

Cardiff also now have win 4 from 5 matches and we have to lose all our remaining 4 games.

Considering our opponents, losing our last 4 is a distinct possibility. Cardiff winning 4 from 5 would be a miracle.
