Thommo celebrates a magical winnerWhat relegation worries???
Cardiff City get 4 wins all season in the league and now get 2 at once - the first time The Bluebirds have enjoyed back to back league wins in more than 10 months - and yet another bogey laid to rest as this was City's first win at Bloomfield Road since 1968. City's last 18 visits in the intervening 39 years produced just 3 draws and 15 defeats!
Tonight, City started well and scored an absolute cracker. Thommo smashing high into the net from 25 yards.
However Cardiff failed to build on that and what followed was a resilient rather than spectacular performance with a bit of overdue luck helping too. Schmeicel made a couple of strong saves, some of the defending was desparate, mistakes weren't punished when made and Blackpool missed some good openings too including hitting the woodwork.
City, though, can point to Hasselbaink twice failing to score when clear on goal, Ledley hitting the bar and McPhail making the Blackpool keeper produce an outstanding point blank save after a sweeping move.
What it means is that City are now upto 15th, 6 points and vastly better goal difference from the relegation berths and 7 form the play-offs. The points tally has jmped to 26, more than half needed to retain Championship staus, before the halfway stage is reached.
Next is the bubble trip to Wurzle-land and Lee Turndle this Saturday, I recally can't wait!
