And now 4 teams even on 66 points, Norwich a point behind.
Boro seem to have barely beaten a top side. If we do manage to get up, we’re not staying there long IMHO.
It’s going to be an amazing run in.
Derby at Norwich and Ipswich at Boro this week will be big!
Leeds and Forrest nil all draw in front of 30k at Elland Road.
Very tight at the top still. Bournemouth looked down and out 2 weeks ago. Looking like Bournemouth through to Norwich vying for automatic promotion with Brentford, Ipswich & Wolves vying for 6th. Notts & Blackburn not out of it and playing with form though. All the top teams are dropping points against mid table teams though.
At the other end Blackpool and Millwall look gone.
Mid week fixtures worth watching… Brentford at Blackburn, Middlesbrough at Derby, Sheffield Wednesday at Wolves, Bournemouth at Cardiff, Bolton at Ipswich.
AFC Bournemouth +39 69
Watford +31 69
Middlesbrough +31 69

Brighton & Hov… -4 41
Fulham -17 40
Rotherham United -17 40
Wigan Athletic -15 34
Millwall -31 31
Blackpool -45 22
Typical from Ipswich - gone from challenging for automatic promotion to just outside the playoff spots. Probably fade out to mid table obscurity.
Of the three teams vying for 6th Brentford look most likely with only 1 game against top sides. That said they just surrendered a lead and lost to Cardiff.
Forest are playing all 3 of these sides. Their destiny is in their own hands I guess.
Looking forward to Ipswich v Wolves - McCarthy against his old side with a possible playoff place on the line?
Ipswich - 61 points Brentford - 62 points Wolves - 59 points

Another amazing day in the topsy turvy championship league.
Derby goes down to Middlesbrough. Norwich steal a draw after 99 minutes. Brentford steal a win after twice being behind Blackburn. Blackburn would’ve been within 5 points of Brentford had they won…
Watford 38 +33 72
Middlesbrough 38 +32 72

Norwich City 38 +31 67
Derby County 38 +28 67

Nottm Forest 37 +8 54
Blackburn 38 +2 54Forest won their game in hand this morning. 8 points out with 8 to play, think they have too much work to do still
Fantastic 3-0 win over Fulham this morning. Turn around since New Years has been nothing short of amazing. 25 points from the last 12 games. 6 wins out of 7 away as well.
Both forest and leeds are probably the form sides in the league.
Forest have Norwich, wolves, brentford, Watford, Ipswich and Blackburn on the run in… Not easy!
Wolves 2-0 Derby
On advice from here, signed up with Bein sports as Wolves have 3 games televised over next month- watched the game this morning. Great result! Albeit fortunate- if you want to see a keeping blunder get a look at the seconds goal… Also derby were denied a clear goal before the half.
Wolves now sitting 7th, only out of the six on goal difference pending results.
Derby in abit of trouble now… And definitely have the game and firepower but played like abit of a rabble towards the end When things didn’t go their way.
Some huge games again tonight being
forest at Norwich, Middlesbrough at Bournemouth and Ipswich at Watford.
** love the wall to wall football coverage on Bein… Thanks for the tip fellas.
Leeds 1-1 away to Blackpool overnight, atrocious pitch.
Stick a fork in Forest, they are done!
One thing to be wary of with Bein sports is when they advertise a replay of a game, it’s 50/50 whether they actually replay the match they advertise.
Amateur set up.
In any other year Forest would be well in contention - the points tally of the top teams are so high this year.
Only 8 points separating the top 8 teams with wolves defeating Derby and taking a point v Watford it just shows anyone can beat anyone on their day.
Good night for setanta
Sorry BeIN
the Middlesbrough 11 out there each need a fkn haircut
Wolves Leeds finishes 4-3 in a pulsating match to see Wolves move into 6th position for the first time since their horror run in November.
Leeds went 1 up after a terrible Wolves blunder trying to clear the ball across goal. Wolves then showed their class to go 3-1 up only to then score an own goal in what should’ve been a simple take for the keeper, with Leeds then equalising through some sloppy Wolves defending. The Wolves winner came 4 minutes from time through a great header to Dave Edwards as substitute.
Wolves have Birmingham who are also in form after being 2 nil up over Bournemouth only to go down 4-2.
The big one this weekend is Derby v Brentford
