Re: 22nd April English Leagues Midweek

Wolves - Cardiff
Apparently Cardiff might not be not interested in Premier league play-offs again this year and they might do the same like they just did last year - losing most of the matches at the end of the season...

On Saturday Cardiff lost to already relegated Scunthorpe, from what I've read about this match, none of the sides showed any extra effort to win the game in 1st half, things changes in the 2nd HT but Cardiff still could not get back on track confidently after conceding two more goals from Scunthorpe.

Dave Jones, Cardiff's manager, says the loss was partly down to players having their minds on next month's FA Cup final at Wembley. "We always felt the closer we get to it, nobody wants to pick up an injury and you've got to understand that as well," said Jones. Jones admits he is already looking towards next season.

Cardiff is not ready to fight in PL play-offs at the moment, Cardif's manager is hoping the next season will be better for them and they will have enough funds to buy new players to get better results. Risking any injuries of their key players for something that is not their aim now is important fact and FA Cup in Wembley is the only key goal now...

Al thought Wolves are not in their best this season as well, they're still in hopes of entering play-offs just like last year... They still have 3 matches to play (get 9 points) and are only short of 6 points to get a play-off spot.

Last matches in 2006/2007 season (Cardiff could get enough points to enter play-offs as well):
May 6, 2007 Championship League Ipswich Town 3 - 1 Cardiff City
Apr 28, 2007 Championship League Cardiff City 0 - 1 Hull City
Apr 21, 2007 Championship League Queens Park Rangers 1 - 0 Cardiff City
Apr 14, 2007 Championship League Cardiff City 1 - 1 Stoke City
Apr 9, 2007 Championship League Burnley FC 2 - 0 Cardiff City

Wolves straight win at 1.88 (BetFair)
