Cardiff will avoid 'catastrophe' despite dip in results
[Huw Evans Picture Agency] Wales international Sam Vokes insists there is no need for concern at Cardiff City as they bid to avoid the "catastrophe" which would be missing out on automatic promotion. Cardiff are in the midst of their trickiest run of the season after a home defeat to Wycombe Wanderers in midweek, their third loss in six matches. Having led the way in League One for much of the season, Brian Barry-Murphy's team are now five points adrift of Lincoln City in second place.
But with 10 points separating the Bluebirds and third-placed Bolton Wanderers, Vokes reckons Barry-Murphy's men will get over the line. "I think we expect them to go up," he told this week's Feast of Football podcast. "After the season they have had, it would be a catastrophe if they fell out of it.
I don't see that happening at all. "Cardiff are the biggest team at that level. The football they have played this year has been probably without doubt the best in the league.
"Dropping points [against Wycombe] is a bump in the road but I expect a full reaction come the weekend at home to Blackpool. "
