cardiff
city 2 - 0 sheffield wednesday
the bluebirds continue
their excellent recent form with a dominating home win against
sheffield wednesday. a goalless first period saw cardiff control the
game but with no breakthrough. the opening goal came early in the
second half. roger johnson's strike took a heavy deflection which
wrong-footed owls 'keeper lee grant and the ball trickled into the
net. joe ledley's burst into the box was ended unfairly by sean
mcallister and chopra extended cardiff lead from the spot. chopra
could have had his second late on but was adjudged to be offside when
he tapped home a shot that had been kept out with a combination of
'keeper and post.

ipswich
town 1 - 2 cardiff city
cardiff claim
their first win at portman road for 62 years as they continue to push
for the play-offs. jay bothroyd put the bluebirds ahead after just 9
minutes. paul parry's run and cross from the left was centred by
routledge and bothroyd hooked home past richard wright. the game
winner came on 26 minutes with parry turning provider again. this time
his free-kick sat nicely for gyepes and he struck clinically with his
left foot. it was the hungarian's first for cardiff and his first in
english football. jonathan stead pulled one back for the home side
just before half-time, heading in walters' cross. however, ipswich's
task was made harder when ben thatcher received two yellow's within
minutes of each other for twice fouling wayne routledge midway through
the second half.

burnley
2 - 2 cardiff city
ex-bluebird steve
thompson snatched the win away from cardiff at turf moor. the scot,
who joined burnley from cardiff earlier this season, made the most of
roger johnson's failed attempt to clear the balll by smashing home the
host's equaliser. the clarets had taken the lead through robbie blake
after 15 minutes. cardiff pegged back through jay bothroyd just before
half-time, then routledge put the bluebirds ahead just after the
re-start. steve thompson then popped up with the equaliser to haunt
his former employers.

cardiff
city 2 - 0 preston north end
cardiff climb into the
play-off places thanks to a convincing home win against fellow
play-off hopefuls preston north end. roger johnson opened the scoring
just before half-time, climbing highest to head in a free-kick from
the right. cardiff pushed for a second and were given the opportunity
from the spot when bothroyd was upended by mawene after cutting into
the box from the left. michael chopra made no mistake from the spot,
killing the game off with only 15 minutes remaining.
