'Tiger Woods has been written off that many times and we have too': Neil Warnock insists Cardiff will prove doubters wrong in relegation battle Cardiff City sit 18th in the Premier League table - five points adrift of safety They can be cut that to two points with a win at 17th-placed Brighton on Tuesday Tiger Woods won his 15th major against the odds on Sunday with the Masters By Adam Crafton for the Daily Mail Published: 22:31 BST, 15 April 2019 | Updated: 23:07 BST, 15 April 2019 Viewcomments Cardiff boss Neil Warnock has called on his players to use Tiger Woods' Masters comeback as motivation to overcome the odds and stay in the Premier League. Warnock tuned in on Sunday evening as Woods won the green jacket at Augusta, his first major in 11 years after battling demons in his personal life and serious injuries. A Cardiff revival seems similarly improbable as the club have five games remaining and a five-point deficit to overturn if they are to remain in the top-flight. Cardiff manager Neil Warnock believes his side can take inspiration from Tiger Woods Woods won his first major in 11 years as the golfing legend was victorious at the Masters Cardiff travel to 17th-placed Brighton on Tuesday night knowing a win will take them to within two points of Chris Hughton's team, who would still have a game in hand. Brighton are in desperate form and lost 5-0 at home to Bournemouth on Saturday - their fourth defeat in a row. Cardiff, meanwhile, have been dogged by hard luck stories after falling foul of poor refereeing decisions in recent defeats by Burnley and Chelsea. Warnock said: 'We just have to look at the golf and at what Tiger has done - amazing. 'Nobody gave him a chance either. He has been written off that many times and we have too. Obviously over the last few weeks we have felt sorry for ourselves a few times. 'We haven't got time to do that at Brighton and if it's not good enough then we accept it. But this is an opportunity to give ourselves a chance till the end of the season.'

The management and players sat through the gruesome footage from the Vitality stadium in a bid to provoke a backlash this evening. Hughton said: 'The players want to prove a point on Tuesday. 'They will want to show an attitude that says they were that disappointed with Saturday. 'We had a meeting, went through the game and the goals that we conceded. 'It was probably our worst performance of the season. 'There isn't one player in that changing room that wouldn't have gone through a bad defeat, a bad performance, and what it's always about is how you respond to that. 'I expect a reaction from our players.' Share or comment on this article: All rights reserved for this news site dailymail and under his responsibility
