What a shame Wigan won. That would have been a great draw for Forest, Number 6.

Well, I suppose not playing Man Utd will save us from a humiliating battering, Eddie!

Forest sack their manager, lie 20th in the league, 2pts from a possible 22, are only 5pts above the relegation zone & the takeover of the club has collapsed! Unfortunately, the person who is responsible for the chaotic plight of the club still remains as chairman! Doh!

Bad day at the office, Eddie! Still, it's not the end of the World for the seagulls & they should bounce back quickly. One defeat in 19 games is good going. They're still second, so no real damage done. The Baggies were beaten by a good Spurs side, so no shame there.

A good day for the Owls. They're sitting nicely in the play off positions. They need to keep the momentum going now & try not to drop too many points in the next few months.

It certainly was a bad day at the office for the Baggies and the Seagulls, Number 6. It was a good day for the Owls, who are on course for the play-offs and it was nice to see Forest get a point away at Birmingham.

Match Of The Day this coming Friday January 20th on Sky Sports live.
Brighton v Sheffield Wednesday. I would take a point now.

A match to look forward to, John.

Eddie, it's a bit of a shock to hear that one of Brighton's young defenders has an heart condition & will miss the rest of the season. I think his name is Conner & he's only 24 years old! I hope it's not a long term problem & he gets it sorted ready for next season!
A bit of a stutter for the Seagulls at the moment, which was bound to come sooner or later. Just hope it's their last from now on!
Sheff Weds have nipped back into the play-off places, after some indifferent form. If they could find consistency from now on, I'm sure they'll remain firmly in the top 6.
Nice to see Forest pick up some much needed points, despite the off-field chaos. We had to replace our last manager to give us a chance of staying up! He just wasn't experienced in the rigours of Championship footie. He was a nice guy, but being nice doesn't win you games!

It's certainly a shock to hear that Brighton's Connor Goodson has a hear defect at the age of 24, Number 6. I, too, hope that it's not going to be a long term problem. I wish him a full and speedy recovery.

A bit of a stutter indeed for the Seagulls at present. As I write they are 2-0 down at Brentford. Good results for both Forest and the Owls over the weekend, Number 6 and John.

A good result for the Baggies too.

Well, Brighton eventually managed a 3-3 draw at Brentford.

All teams hit a bad spell sometime during a season and Brighton look to be having theirs. Sorry to hear about young Goodson and his heart condition. At least it was found before tragedy struck on the field.
I still tip Brighton to be champions, Newcastle look fallible to me and Benitez isn't happy with the lack of transfer activity.
Forest should be safe but I wasn't surprised that Nigel Clough turned them down, too much baggage there at the moment.
The Owls need to have a run of wins and the next few fixtures present that opportunity. I shall be there next Friday night to support them against Birmingham.

A point is better than none, Eddie! It's not like Brighton to concede so many goals in a game, so they need to sort that out! It's a good job that Newcastle have dropped points recently, too, & that teams around the Seagulls have also failed to take advantage of the situation! I still think they'll get promoted, though.

I agree, John. The Owls need to go on a good run to help cement a play-off place. They've got the talent there to do it, but they've just not been consistent enough. I'm still confident, though, that they'll be in the top 6 at the end of the season!

I knew Nigel Clough wouldn't come to Forest. He's a loyal lad. He knew in his heart that he had to stop at Burton & help them avoid relegation, repaying the faith his Chairman has put in him! However, it was a close call. It was an heart wrenching decision not to take the Forest job.
We've got two good chaps in charge at the mo & they've stamped their authority on the team, getting them to play as a unit & not as individuals!

Good results for Brighton & Sheff Weds. The Seagulls gained another valuable 3 points towards automatic promotion, & the Owls exposed the usual frailties of Forest to get a firm foot in the play off spots.

If the Reds don't get a result against relegation rivals Burton Albion in their next game, then I honestly can't see them escaping the trapdoor! Darn my predictions!

Forest won't go down, Number 6.
Four wins on the trot for the Owls and Brentford at home on Tuesday night. Watch out, Eddie, we're right behind you.

I don't think Forest will go down either, Number 6.

Great results for both the Seagulls and the Owls, John. I'm hoping that Sheffield Wednesday will be promoted with Brighton and Newcastle at the end of the season.

Brilliant results yesterday for the Owls and Forest, John and Number 6. You must both be over the moon.

A poor day for the Baggies, the Seagulls and Kidderminster Harriers!
