Barry-Murphy focuses on promotion, not opinions

Brian Barry-Murphy says he is focusing on Cardiff City's promotion push rather than outside opinions about the team's form.

BBC Sport published the interview on Wednesday, with the Cardiff manager saying the club's bid to go up is his priority as the season reaches its decisive stage.

The comments come after recent scrutiny of Cardiff's performances, but Barry-Murphy said the team remain in a strong position in the League One promotion race.

Cardiff's official site also published recent comments from the manager in which he stressed the need to keep improving in attack and create more clear-cut chances.

With the run-in underway, Cardiff's promotion hopes are still central to the story, and Barry-Murphy's message is that the focus inside the club remains firmly on results rather than outside opinion.
