An excellent second half display saw the Bluebirds come away from Adams Park with a fantastic 4-0 victory as the promotion chase begins to reach it's climax. A Peter Thorne brace put City well on their way to another vital 3 points, infront of an impressive 1,027 away Bluebirds following. Wycombe Wanderers 0-4 Cardiff City

Apologies for the recent lack of updates. This is due to my PC crashing and me losing all of my web-site and HTML files. Hopefully normal service will resume in the next couple of days when I get everything back to normal!

It was an excellent night on Tuesday, and the Second half display in my opinion was excellent. It was great to see Peter Thorne bag two goals, which will surley bring him some much needed confidence and it was also nice to see we can pull of a convincing victory without a goal from Robert Earnshaw!

The BTTB crew were amongst a travelling support of just over 1,000 at Adams Park, and even more are expected to travel to Chesterfield on Sunday as City look to keep the pressure up on Crewe Alexandra in the second automatic promotion spot with another victory.

I have only just got back online, and it's probably a bit pointless me doing my own report now - so here's the one taken from the BBC Sports Web-Site:

Cardiff boosted their automatic promotion chances with an impressive 4-0 hammering of Wycombe Wanderers at Adams Park on Tuesday night.

Striker Peter Thorne grabbed a goal in each half, and further strikes by Alan Mahon and Andy Legg ensured the Welsh side leapfrogged Oldham into third.

Wycombe were put to the sword immediately by the Bluebirds, with defender Chris Vinnicombe just clearing Mahon's third-minute shot.

But within 60 seconds the visitors were ahead when Thorne headed his 12th of the season after good work by fellow frontman Robert Earnshaw.

Chairboys striker Jonny Dixon smashed against the crossbar soon after, but Cardiff were good value for their one-goal lead at the break.

Cardiff went searching for a greater cushion in the second half, and the hosts were undone on 68 minutes when Mahon picked up a loose pass from Michael Simpson and smashed home a glorious drive.

Simpson almost redeemed himself moments later when he hit the post from close range.

But the visitors wrapped up the points in the closing stages when Thorne converted Gareth Ainsworth's 81st-minute cross, and then Legg fired home from the edge of the area.
