Six Of The Best For Bluebirds

CARDIFF boss Neil Warnock told his players to enjoy the ride after their triumph over Birmingham kept the wheels turning on their promotion charge.

First-half goals from Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, Craig Bryson and Callum Paterson had the Bluebirds cruising to a sixth successive victory.

But new Birmingham manager Garry Monk inspired a second-half fightback as Craig Gardner’s penalty and Maxime Colin’s late strike gave the relegation strugglers hope until the final whistle.

“We don’t think about promotion, today’s target has been met for the play-offs and we’re there,” said Warnock.

“We don’t look at it, the other teams are still winning, we just have 10 games. We have to go to all the top teams but we just have to enjoy it.

“We could have made it easier. Hopefully we’ve saved up the goals we missed until we need them.
