'Cardiff won't feel play-off pressure' - Bassett
Jan 21 2006 Ian Hunt, Western Mail

THE race for a Championship play-off spot remains wide open, Cardiff City being one of 11 clubs who entertain realistic hopes of claiming one of the four places on offer....a long list of chasing teams - from Leeds in third right down to Stoke in 13th - harbouring hopes ....Burnley, Norwich, QPR, Luton and Stoke in their wake cannot yet be discounted from the play-off equation....
Dave Bassett...., believes Cardiff are one of seven teams - Leeds, Watford, Palace, Preston, Wolves and Norwich being the others - who have a good chance of getting into the play-offs....
, ......The former Wimbledon manager, though, is unequivocal about the prospects of his most recent employers - and QPR - squeezing into the top six.
"Southampton have got no chance," he says...""QPR aren't good enough either. I wouldn't write off Luton just yet, but they've slipped away in recent weeks and it could be just beyond them for this season."

QPR - January arrivals: Andy Taylor: Defender brought in on loan from Blackburn to beef up the back-line. The youngster, whose loan spell at Loftus Road could be extended, can play anywhere across the back four.
Marcin Kus: Polish international defender signed on a six-month loan from Polonia Warsaw.
Next six matches: Luton (a), Leicester (h), Leeds (a), Millwall (h), Crystal Palace (a), Stoke (h)
Play-off prospects: Currently five points adrift of the top six, Ian Holloway's side lack a prolific goalscorer and it is doubtful they have the strength in depth to make the play-offs.
