But he is fully intent on taking all three points when the sides meet on Saturday.[LNB]Palace were hit with a 10-point deduction in January after the club fell into administration, with manager Neil Warnock leaving for QPR recently.[LNB]Cardiff go into the game five points clear of fifth-placed Blackpool and a win would give them clear breathing space in the race for a play-off spot.[LNB]Jones told his club's official website: "They have been very unlucky because they were trying to challenge for a play-off spot and all of a sudden they're struggling to stay in the division. Neil Warnock was doing a fantastic job and got the rug pulled from under him. Now Paul Hart has gone in there and he's fighting for his life. But we can't worry about anyone else at this level because you could lose focus on what you're trying to do.[LNB]"The battle for the play-offs will probably go to the final day. Forest appear to have cemented themselves into third spot for the play-offs and the other three are up for grabs. Everybody was saying that only sixth spot was available, but there'll be three places to fight over."[LNB][LNB]
