With the top two West Brom and Newcastle both beaten and the eight sides below them all winning, it throws this division wide open. Only four points separates 1st from 10th. Cardiff and Blackpool kept up their good form of late with comfortable victories. Forest chalked up their 5th win a row when beating Barnsley in the clash between the divisions two form teams. Boro also seem to have gotten back on a track after a few disappointing recent results. And Rangers, scoring 4 goals for the second consecutive game? Flavio must be smiling! I think Roy Keane will be out of a job very shortly, still no win and draws are no good to him. Reading also seem to be floundering pretty badly, leeking goals galore since last January.

Bad result for Newscastle and Reading. Roy with a draw.

Yeah, my brother was at the forest match ... deserved the win.

Woot Woot:p It's a long long time since we've had this sort of run of results.

Is your brother Neil from Newport by any chance?

Yep, great to see us doing well, but we should expect this sort of thing with the players we've now got at the club. And we play decent football too in the old style of Clough which is nice to see.

Here's Forest's winning goal against Barnsley - 92nd minute. Moussi, who was already on a yellow card, received a second yellow and red for the heineous footballing crime of celebrating his goal :rolleyes:

Gotta love that caption comment at the end!

Thats an incredible table - top ten seperated by 4 points, top half by 6! Hopefully it stays as competitive for the whole season.

LOL at Reading.
