CITY DROP TO 7th AFTER SATURDAY GAMES

While Cardiff wait until the 11:15am Sunday for the SDouth Wales Derby, Saturday result's once again generally fell in their favour.

Despite collecting a miserable 4 points from the last 15 on offer, City had managed to stay in the play-off frame and seemed ton be shoe-horned in 6th spot.

However Preston beat Bristol City in a live tv evening game and have taken that position. Only a City win at Swansea tomorrow will see them regain the place, a draw would keep them 7th but the unthinkable (defeat) would also see City overhauled by the Jacks.

City could have fallen much lower again but the chasing pack continue to stumble too with QPR, Ipswich and Crystal Palace - each of whom could have passed Cardiff with victory - all settling for draws while Plymouth lost at home.

Ironically, Cardiff's next game post-Swansea is a fixture with Preston at Ninian Park next weekend so these are now 2 big games.
