Cardiff boss Warnock insists spirits high amid relegation battle

Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock insists the atmosphere is upbeat around the club.

Warnock insists Cardiff are not under pressure as they approach the relegation run-in, but says they must try to stay in touch with the teams above them over the next couple of weeks.

"We've got to try and stay in with these two difficult games and hope that other teams help us as well," he said.

"We don't want to be too far adrift for the last six games. It's not just Burnley and Southampton, I think there another one or two nervous teams above because you can lose four or five games at this level.

"I don't feel like we're under pressure because everybody knows we should be down there. Training has upped to another level, two sessions this week have been the best since I've been at the club. And we haven't had the international lads either. All credit to the lads for the way they've trained. I felt like a young manager, that the future is bright for me."
