Hull, Burnley and Ipswich. Can't see past Boro though.

Who does everyone hope gets promoted this year ?

Absolutely no preference so long as they get relegated instead of us.

A good point for Blackburn yesterday drawing 1-1 away to Boro.

Pretty ruthless by the Derby board, not allowed to have a slump these days in most places.
I know Derby are desperate to get promoted but it wasn't Clement's fault that they've messed up the last couple of years.

It's entirely his fault this season surely.

It still seems a bit harsh but I don't know the full goings on. They did look very static in the game against Burnley recently. There's no time to take stock of a slump and adjust things these days.
It seems the change from the elite of La Liga to the Championship slog was too much for a new manager.

These converted assistants hardly ever seem to work do they?

He'll be alright, wherever Anchelotti finishes up (possibly Bayern ??) he will be assistant again

Most sides have a period of disappointing form, to be sacked as soon as you have one is shocking. You have to give a manager a full season at least.

Wonder if they've got Pearson lined up? Derby I mean. Midlands club, he's got a history of promotions. Good fit there possibly.

Legend · « **Reply #1288 on:** February 16, 2016, 10:43:29 PM »

Great win for Blackburn, 3-0 against an in form Fulham side.

It's getting difficult to see who will get automatic promotion. Hull and Boro looked nailed on a couple of weeks back but Burnley have come on strong at the right time.
If Hull and Boro win their games in hand it should be them but I think Hull will choke and end up with a play off place.

He only scored six goals after leaving us, we had the best of him, terrible signing for Stoke.

Whats with the Middlesborough manager walking out on the team

Training ground row apparently, Boro have spent a lot to get promoted, a bit of a gamble.
