Brighton getting a point at Doncaster and Middlesbrough winning at Portsmouth forced City down two places in the table.
Reading continued to impress with a win at Millwall. Since Cardiff beat Reading on Jan 2nd the Royals have caught up a six point gap on City and further pushed themselves seven points ahead having played a game more.
Birmingham managed to draw at home with Derby after previously leading 2 nil.
Cardiff have at least one game in hand on all the teams above them except West Ham.
At the time of writing Leeds are playing Southampton. I would guess a draw would suit us.
