Leeds have sacked Uwe Rosler. Their 5th manager to get the chop since that Italian fella took over in 2014..

Derby missing the chance to go 3rd. Needed that.

Figured with the 4-2 on Sunday they would've turned the corner in terms of goalscoring.

Me mate listened to the Derby match and said they were poor, strange after a good performance and when you think they are on the right track. Still they kept a clean sheet so one positive.

For them to have played so poorly thus far and still have a sniff of the playoff spots tells you about the squad they have. Could go on a run at any time. Still early days.

Not qualifying for the Champions League in that period has really cost them, now have an owner who is nuts, 36 managers in 21 years as owner of Cagliari, is under investigation for attempted embezzlement and fraudulent misrepresentation following an investigation into the construction of the Stadio Arenas, Cellino has two prior criminal convictions, for deceiving the Italian Ministry of Agriculture out of £7.5m in 1996 and for false accounting at Cagliari in 2001.

Oh yeah I totally agree and for me they will get promoted this year I think, even if not they need to stick with Clement. That is unless they finish miles away and look dire for the rest of the season, what I just can't see happening.

If Derby takes their chances they win by three or four. Fantastic strike by Thorne. Only a point off second with a game in hand. When does Hughes come back anyone know?

Unfortunately, Derby are what Forest were 4-5 years ago under Billy Davies. Look very good for half a season but when the pressure comes on, they choke and stutter.
