Cardiff 'too good' to fall in to play-offs - Blake

Cardiff City legend Nathan Blake believes the Bluebirds are "too good" to fall in to the League One play-offs, but has warned against complacency.

Brian Barry-Murphy's side drew 0-0 at home to Blackpool on Saturday, but are still in the automatic promotion places with seven games remaining.

Cardiff are seven points adrift of leaders Lincoln City but are still 11 clear of third-place Bolton Wanderers.

The Blackpool result was met with boos from some Cardiff City fans yet Blake still feels the club are well placed for promotion.

"Fans are well within their right to come and clear their frustrations of what they're seeing," said Blake.

"They just don't want to see Cardiff get caught and end up getting into the play-offs. I don't think that will happen, Cardiff are too good to fall in to that situation, but I would warn against Cardiff being complacent and make sure they start games at a higher tempo.

"A lot of fans I'm hearing are frustrated with the style of football, but I don't think that's necessarily the problem. The style of football is fine.

"Cardiff, at times, are not playing what they were playing earlier on in the season. They're not doing it at the same sort of tempo."
