Cardiff City boss Malkay Mackay insists that nerves aren't affecting his side's performances.

Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay has insisted that his side aren't playing nervy football as they approach the critical point of the season.

The Bluebirds have lost two of their last three games and looked to be heading for another defeat against Derby County before a Craig Noone strike earned them a point.

"It's not always going to go the way you want it to be, everyone is fighting for everything in this league," Mackay told reporters.

"If there were nerves surely we don't come back at the end, score the goal and nearly get the winner. We just have to focus on our own job, our own points and eventually the games run down."

Cardiff hold a five-point lead over second-placed Watford with 11 games to play this season.
