1:1 after first half. A draw keeps them both down in the bottom half.
Crap game and a waste of time watching it. Derby denied a clear penalty before Cardiff got theirs. Seems to me that Cocu is trying to get them to play a style of football that they aren't technically equipped to do. Those carthorses at the back trying to play out from defence was excruciating to watch at times. A point for each of them suits us fine so long as we do our job tomorrow.

The bookies give us 53% chance to win (that's what they call expected odds) but they also say that the teams who get our odds normally win 88% of time. Fingers crossed.
They did what they had to. We didn't.
Watch MOTD tonight if you didn't see Watford v Arsenal. In case you don't know the result I shan't give it away but the second half in particular was a fantastic watch - easily the best half of football I've seen in a while. Not one player left anything on the pitch as they went at it hammer and tongs and I really enjoyed it. Shame they won't show the second half in its entirety because it deserved it.

Haven't watched yet it but I watched Norvich v Manchester City yesterday. Hats off to Norwich for being brave and playing their own curageous brand of football.
Watching Norwich v Citeh I'm sure the comms mentioned that the starting Canaries line up cost something like £6.5 million!!!!! If I did hear correctly that's an incredible statistic and begs the question: why are transfer fees so high? It seems to me that what clubs need rather than a big chequebook is a team of scouts who know what the fcuk they're looking at.
1-1 H/T

Two lots of cloggers playing each other. Let's hope they kick lumps out of one and other.
Cameron Carter-Vickers just standing there watching as a Forest header puts them in front.
You're not wrong.
3-2 and Forest go top. Oh well, I suppose someone has to go up with us but I'd rather it wasn't them. Stoke's problem is that Nathan Jones is trying to get them to play football but they've always been a long ball team and struggling like hell with the transition.
I thought Stoke were the better side for a good proportion of the game.
