Twelve (!) clubs in the Championship - half the total - changed managers in the 1st half of the season. Leeds are onto their third (!) permanent manager of the season.

The old saying holding true: there are two types of managers - those sacked and those waiting to be sacked.
Con, a manager knows he is gone, when the board announce that he has their full support.
With Stuart psycho Pearce now sacked by Forest, what will be the all-time sackings record?

ps, ozzie owl - with all those scoreless games you mentioned, is it time for IFAB to trial 4 points for a win, 1 for a draw?

Con, with the fact that nobody is responding to your drivel, is it time for you to STFU?

Good result for Huddersfield...played last 40 minutes with only 10 men...losing Nahki Wells for a second yellow when the scoreline was 1-1...

New manager and a win for Forest!

I'm disappointed Pearce wasn't successful. But I'm not surprised.
I've never been a fan of hiring club-legend players as managers. Rarely works.

4-4 draw with bottom of the table, and championship embarrassment, Blackpool.

Very poor result.

At least there was 8 goals to see, must be better than 0-0.

So you don't take into account if level with points and GD with another side, the team with more goals scored rates higher?

Good point, but a clean sheet is a good sign. Letting in 4 goals isn't.

Especially against the bottom team.

I'd take a 4-4 draw against the top team though.
