Must win for Warnock, and hopefully it sets up a load of survival battles for the last day with Cardiff v ManU and Brighton beating ManCity 8.5 minute delay just there with an injury .......... Goalmachine Long at it again(I think he's looking for a new contract  ), funny how players start performing then Bournemouth equalise though |

Into 9 minutes of added first half time due to serious injury to Fulham's Odoi.

And that just about sums up these two sides. Fulham's Babel receives it unmarked just outside the Cardiff box. He's got a moment to line up the shot from a good angle. All he has to do is keep it low and keep it on target. But he goes at it like a bull in a china shop and blasts it high, wide and out of the stands and into the river.

would love to see Cardiff escape as Warnock has actually done a great job, but it looks unlikely.

Look at that. Bluebird crosses low ball into area. All it needs is a knock in. Three Bluebirds in the area and not one of them gets to it. American co-commentator say Brighton will be loving this. Warnock looks nervous. It could be a decisive day if Fulham could only pot here.

Cairney feeds Bryan on '70. Six yard box. Shoot! But no, he is too slow and dispossessed by a Bluebird. Real chance for Fulham there to drag Cardiff down with them.

Oh Babel! He started the move on the halfway line, and the ball was passed between Christie and Cairney, and Babel was there to finish it off with a 25 yard rocket which almost burst the Cardiff net. One-nothing, and a fantastic goal.

Colin has never won a game at Craven Cottage.

Too little too late for Cardiff as it suddenly dawns on them in injury time that Championship football is a probability. Look at them scrambling for it. No urgency until now. Warnock having spasms on touchline. 1 minute left.

Morrisson free header for Cardiff with seconds to go! He's headed it straight at the keeper!

It's all over. A stern-faced Neil Warnock, one arm jammed in the pocket of his coat, shakes hands and weighs up the circumstances as his team leaves it too late to show any real urgency. Can Hughton's boys take advantage of this later at Newcastle?

Look at Chris Hughton going mad on the touchline because Brighton have just equalized v Newcastle for 1-1. About ten minutes to go. That was Brighton's first goal in eight games. Murray's head connected and it flew into the Toon netting. That could mean curtains for Cardiff.

Brighton were godawful in the first half but they've got the all-important leveller. If it stays level it's a 4 point cushion over Cardiff who would have to win their last two games and hope that Brighton, far better GD, get no more than a point from their last two, isn't it? 5 minutes left here.

Oh Brighton's Glenn Murray spurns a golden injury time chance from 2 yards out. His head doesn't connect properly with the ball and it sails over.
It doesn't matter because Mike "I'm a celebrity, keep me in here" Dean has blown up. There aren't too many smiles at all from the Brighton players or Chris Hughton - you'd think they'd lost by the look on Hughton's face, or maybe he's a man who knows the job isn't quite finished. It does look very desperate for Cardiff, though.
Brighton are largely a poor outfit these days. One shot on goal, one goal. Picked themselves up a bit in the 2nd half following an unwatchable first half (non) performance.
So Cardiff need to beat Palace at home, then go grab three points at Old Trafford.
And hope that Brighton get less than 2 points against Arsenal away and Man City at home (a perfectly reasonable prospect)
Certainly Cardiff can do the Palace - it could yet all hinge on that Man Utd game on the last day of the season.

Cardiff are gone.
No way will they win their last two games.
