In the space of a week I am at a place where I have lost faith in our ability to succeed in the playoffs.

Yep we have a soft centre at set pieces and team like Boro would expose that.

Just got to hope Derby do us a favour tomorrow. Otherwise game over.

I'll have some of what you're on!!

Well its the hope that kills you......A derby win and its 'as you were' at the top tho'.

No it's really not, because it's 7 points to make up from 24 rather than 27, every game that passes without a change is a huge boost for Cardiff.  As I said, it's done, there's no way us and Fulham are going to win every game form here and that's the only way we'd get close.

Still comes down to cardiff playing us, wolves and sheffield United in April. If we're 7 points or less away then it is recoverable. Obviously if cardiff get to 8 points i think its over.

We're going to 'typical Villa' it in the play offs and Adama Traore will tear us a new arsehole.

If we keep losing to dross like QPR and Bolton then it really doesn't matter what Cardiff do.

We won't win all our remaining games anyway (Millwall on the last day will be similar to this game) if they still have a chance of top 6 so Cardiff can afford to drop more points than they probably imagined this time last week.

Neither could QPR way from home and they've just taken 4 points at us and Fulham.

Cardiff are now in the stage where they don't need to win.

Draw tomorrow then beat Burton after the break and that's an 11 point gap before we play Hull.

If  one thing the plays offs do occur I think villa will be well up for it and would thrive on these matches against teams of similar quality.

Steve Mcclaren on sky after match was more less saying villa lost their nerve by losing these matches today and Tuesday after winning last Saturday.

He says it's the team that holds their nerve that go up.
