Cardiff looking at 2 new faces

Cardiff City boss Lennie Lawrence has identified strikers Juan Ugarte and Phil Jevons as potential signings.
Yeovil's Jevons is the League Two top scorer with 25 goals, while Ugarte has scored 19 goals in all competitions for relegation threatened Wrexham.

"He'll be keeping his options open and no doubt his agent will be looking to see what's available," said Lawrence of Ugarte, whose contract ends in May.

Cardiff have struggled for a goalscorer since selling Rob Earnshaw last August.

But with an ever dwindling transfer pot available at Ninian Park, Lawrence is aware he needs to look to the lower leagues for potential signings.

"There are lot of them around," added the Bluebirds boss. "I had Jevons at Grimsby so I know all about him."

Cardiff's interest in Ugarte will bring back bitter memories for Wrexham fans.

We need a win and a draw to be safe

Cardiff manager Lennie Lawrence on avoiding relegation

After winning promotion to League One two years ago, the Dragons lost Lee Trundle (to Swansea) and Andy Morrell (to Coventry) on free transfers.

The pair scored over 40 goals between them that season, and Ugarte's scoring exploits in his first season at the Racecourse suggests Wrexham will struggle to keep him for another season.

Meanwhile, Cardiff's battle against Championship relegation continues away to Preston on Saturday.

The Bluebirds are just one point above the relegation zone with five games left this season.

"We need a win and a draw to be safe," claimed Lawrence. "You never know - you can't be absolutely certain but I'd be quiet surprised if 50 points wasn't enough.

"We've got 46 points and the best goal difference [of the bottom eight] as well.

"It might just be one of those freaky things where you need 51 or 52 points to be clear of the bottom.

"But we'll just keep going and go to Preston looking for a win."

Doubt we'll compete with Cardiff's money to keep Jevons, our only hope will be promotion and a bit of loyalty I think...
