At least the Bluebirds got through to the Playoffs! But we've stumbled there and haven't scored a goal for six hours! In an entertaining game at Ninian Park we again failed to find the net and the trend is worrying.... The season which promised so much is ending in the high drama of the play offs once again. Cardiff have let themselves down by not bagging one of the two promotion places.

Lennie Lawrence said after the goalless draw with Wigan: "I was very encouraged with the display and we must have had four one-on-one's with their keeper, but he is the best in the division in that situation.

"We will want to win next week's match at Crewe, but there will be rotation as we had a few tired legs out there. I took Earnie off because he was also looking tired, but he has done very well for us all season.

"When we went into the play-offs last year we were scrapping around for fit players, but at least this season we will have everyone involved.

"When you lose three on the bounce you have to stop the rot and we played well enough to win but it wasn't to be. We are better equipped than last season but we have to learn to win when the pressure is on."
