Lawrence Wants Win

Lennie Lawrence wants to ensure a disappointing season ends on a positive note with his Cardiff City side securing a final game win over QPR at Ninian Park on Sunday.

Neither team has anything but pride to play for, Cardiff having secured their place in the Championship for next season while QPR cannot challenge for a place in the play offs.

Lawrence said to the media: "We want to finish with a win and that's the message I have put across to the players.

"We have done well over the last month or so and a win against QPR would finish things off nicely."

The QPR game also sees the final game in Cardiff colours for Austalian international defender Tony Vidmar who leaves for Dutch side NAC Breda.

"I've always wanted to finish my European career in Holland," Vidmar told the South Wales Echo newspaper.

"I told the gaffer that I would have left Cardiff even if the club was in a better position and could offer me a new contract.

"No disrespect to the Championship, but the quality of some of the opposition in Holland is very good.

"You come up against teams like PSV Eindhoven, Ajax and Feyenoord, who are always involved in European competitions.

"Also, it's important for me to be playing regularly because I want to be involved in Australia's World Cup qualifiers."

Such is state of the Championship QPR could find themselves finishing as high as ninth or as low as fourteenth, while Cardiff could climb to sixteenth or finish just a place above the drop zone should they lose and Gillingham and Brighton win.

The last time QPR visited Ninian Park Cardiff won to secure promotion to Division One.
