Warnock: We have to take our opportunities

Ahead of Cardiff City’s match against Crystal Palace on Boxing Day, Neil Warnock spoke to the assembled media at the Vale Resort.

“I’m looking forward to the game,” the Gaffer began. “Because I’ve got some good friends there and it’s always a great atmosphere.

“I think we can get something from this match. We need a bit of luck, and we need to defend well.

“We need points away from home, and it’s as simple as that. Although we have a tough run of games coming up, I also don’t think there’s an easy game in the Premier League, full stop.

“We’ve got to go into these games and do our best to come away with something."

Warnock's side head into the Boxing Day clash outside of the Premier League bottom three. The Gaffer went on to assess City's upcoming run of fixtures.

“As difficult as it will be in this run of games, we know we will have to take our opportunities," he said.

“The one thing that you can be certain of is the support will be there. They’ve been there relentlessly away from home and they’ve been amazing.

“Despite the result, they were superb the other night against Manchester United, and I hope that they all have a nice Christmas."

“If they remember where we were and where we are now, let’s hope we can look forward to a good 2019."
