00:00now a tense running away to Cardiff City as the championship season heads into its final stretch
00:08with the threat of relegation growing by the week with safety still hanging in the balance the focus
00:14is firmly on survival and securing critical points it's been a challenging campaign for
00:20the Bluebirds and the pressure is mounting as they head into a pivotal few weeks every game
00:26now carries massive weight and the squad will need to show resilience and fight to steer clear of the drop
00:32we discuss the Cardiff's survival chances the players who need to step up and what it will take
00:37for the club to avoid relegation and regroup ahead of the summer
00:41well Charles for the things for Cardiff City are still looking pretty dire in the championship
00:49although they did secure themselves what could be a vital point come the end of the season in the
00:55championship on Tuesday evening a draw away at Preston North End
00:59Yaku Mite I think I've got the pronunciation right on that one grabbing a last gasp equaliser for the
01:06Bluebirds at Deepdale not a win but as I say that could prove to be a vital point it keeps them level
01:12with Derby County who also drew they drew with Burnley which is to be fair to Derby County that's
01:17quite a good result against a really strong Burnley side but for Cardiff I think if they'd lost that
01:21game and you know Burnley drew yes they'd only probably gain a point on them but it keeps them
01:26bang level and only a point behind the team's just ahead of them as well so not not the greatest result
01:32in the world but certainly I think given the context of the equaliser and the time it came and the
01:37confidence that might bring the fact that it keeps them level on points with the team above them just
01:40outside the relegation zone probably a really valuable point for Cardiff City and Omarisa's side as well so
01:47all things still to play four games still remain in the Championship five games left
01:51but I think that game can certainly provide a lot of confidence just getting that equaliser
01:56at such a vital time
01:58Yeah I think Derby County fans would probably be
02:04were gutted when that went in and then the score popped up and they'd found a late point
02:09I mean yeah as you say that the confidence that that brings is is massive it just shows fans that
02:15there could be that little bit of fight left in this team with this side who have pressed and had
02:19a real you know dire campaign from start to finish you know with the managerial situation the
02:25protest to the board saying there's not enough communication of what's actually going on
02:30the summer window is disappointing the January window is actually you know the only sort of saving
02:35grace where they brought in the likes of Yusuf Salak got an assist as well in the game he's been
02:41fantastic since he came in but yeah the slide down the table has been so damning I think
02:47maybe ever since the South Wales Derby win it's all sort of gone slowly downhill and
02:54teams around them have really started to pick up and then you look at Cardiff City but you know
03:01there is some positives to take and it's the fact that they aren't beaten in a few games they
03:05haven't lost since the diabolical loss at home to Luton Town they haven't lost since then I mean
03:13that's positive they are becoming slightly harder to beat which is good obviously drawing with Sheffield
03:18Wednesday QPR and now Preston and yes as you say finding a late late late goal like that you know
03:25that could be the goal that just you look at yes they're in a relegation zone at the moment
03:29but if they are to stay up that that could be the goal that could be the goal where you know fans
03:36and pundits look at it and go was that the turning point was that the the one that sort of kept them
03:42in this in this championship because you know if they drop three points there it it all looks way
03:47bleaker as I say because Derby County are you know slowly trying to make sure that they're becoming a
03:52better side they had you know a win at four games in a row of wins only a couple of weeks ago and then
03:59drew at home to Burnley who were obviously promotion contenders so that was a great point for them
04:03at home and you know it's obviously a very very tough situation it's been a long season as I say
04:09and and Cardiff City are really hoping to avoid the drop if they are to go down would there be fair
04:16suitors for it possibly you know 17 losses in the championship along with a fair few sides I mean
04:22if you look down at the table it's only four points to to 16th if they can get anything from them
04:28that's a positive but those three home games if they get nine points I'm sure they'll just about
04:34be safe in this championship relegation battle and can hopefully push on for a better future
04:40because this is a situation they definitely want to avoid next season
