Pearson taking nothing for granted

Pearson said: "I'm not going to spend much time looking at it. It can be dangerous to try and second-guess what can happen. We have a tough game on Tuesday at Crystal Palace, who but for their points reduction would have been involved in the play-offs themselves.[LNB]"Things can change very quickly if you let your eye off the ball.[LNB]"There are still 10 or 12 teams with a chance of reaching the play-offs. It's going to be very tight until the end of the season."[LNB]The game was settled in the 29th minute with a goal from Martyn Waghorn, who is on loan from Premier League Sunderland.[LNB]Andy King's header from a Bruno Berner cross found Waghorn, who reacted sharply to squeeze home an angled shot from six yards.[LNB]Pearson added: "It was a good win for us. I thought we played very well and were in control for the majority of the game.[LNB]"I know it was only 1-0 but I thought we were really comfortable. We played some good football and were very disciplined.[LNB]"We had to be at our best today because Cardiff are a very good side."[LNB]Cardiff manager Dave Jones refused to be downcast despite the defeat.[LNB]He said: "Every defeat is disappointing but now I can see light at the end of the tunnel. We are now getting back players like Stephen McPhail and Peter Whittingham, who are both very creative and high quality players.[LNB]"When they are all back, watch us go.[LNB]"Once we get our sharpness back we'll fly. I can see it coming but it might take a little time."[LNB]Jones conceded that Cardiff's financial problems have had a knock-on effect on the pitch.[LNB]He said: "It means you can't bring players in when you are down to the bare bones."[LNB][LNB]
