Chris Burke went back to school - and vowed that Cardiff City have learned their lesson ahead of Sunday's home clash with Ipswich.

Burkey cut the tape to officially open Hawthorn Junior School in Hawthorn Road West, Llandaff North, then took time off from chatting with young Bluebirds fans to size up Sunday's task against Roy Keane's men.

He said: "The last two games have been disappointing but we have to make sure we are back on track on Sunday. The only way to be promoted is to make sure we don't have a loss of form.

"Conditions weren't good at Barnsley but it was our job to dig out some sort of result. We didn't do that on Saturday. We didn't deserve to win the match but we didn't deserve to lose, so it was sickening to concede the goal right at the end. We have to make sure on Sunday that we start playing well again and start passing the ball.

"I think Ipswich are in a false position at the wrong end of the table. They are a difficult team to beat, and they'll have been disappointed not to get the victory in a few of their games but there's a fine line between success and failure as we saw at Barnsley on Saturday.

"We could have a few players like Jay, Anthony and Adam back on Saturday, and that could give the manager a sore head, but it's a good sore head to have.

"We've also got Kelvin Etuhu back and he was looking sharp today. It's good to have him back and he'll be a great addition. He gives us something different."
