Cardiff 'in great position' to achieve their goal
· Yahoo Sports
Former Wales striker Iwan Roberts says Cardiff City are on course to achieve their goal for the season despite a dip in results hitting their League One title hopes.
Cardiff have led the way in the third tier for much of the season, but have been surpassed by Lincoln City having won only two of their past six league games.

With eight games remaining this season, the second-placed Bluebirds trail Lincoln by five points – but remain 10 points clear of Bolton Wanderers in third.
Roberts says that while it would be "great if they could win the league", Cardiff should be happy with either automatic promotion spot.
"The main objective before the first game of the season was to bounce back to the Championship, however they did it," he told this week's Feast of Football podcast.
"They are in a great position. They are five points behind Lincoln who got a 93rd-minute equaliser at Huddersfield [in midweek].
"Bradford only drew, Stockport won but they are not going to catch Cardiff, Bolton drew. It's still in their hands."
After Tuesday's home loss to Wycombe Wanderers, Cardiff have the chance to bounce back when they host relegation-threatened Blackpool on Saturday (12:30 GMT).
