Things are looking pretty bleak for Cardiff City right now.
Hovering just above the Championship relegation zone, their tier-two status is literally on the line; the three teams below them - Wigan Athletic, Huddersfield Town and Blackpool - all have games in hand over the Bluebirds and could move above City with a win.
Sabri Lamouchi has overseen three games and three defeats thus far; there have been shoots of optimism, as pointed out by Bluebirds correspondent Glen Williams here, albeit they are caveated by a number of problems he still has to solve to pull them out of this mess.
