Nice to see Wigan get quickly back in the game 1-1, after conceding an early goal home to Forest. Now Wigan 2-1 up. BBC so slow to update scores, with Bet365 you see it there & then, which I guess is a requirement in the betting world. Blackburn 2-0 up against Bolton (Dunn, Rhodes - 2 goals in 2 mins) Derby 0 Burnley 1 - Charlie Austin's replacement, Danny Ings, just got his 5th goal of the season. Did we pick the wrong one? Somehow Barnsley 2 Huddersfield 0 Charlton 1 Leicester 0 (good) Ipswich 1-0 up at Brummie. Watching Newcastle v Fulham - Adel on bench. Loic Remy off bench, warming up, apparently all recovered.
Perfect results for us so far. 2 of the 3 teams who could go above us are losing and the 3rd one is drawing with Watford so a draw is what we want there.
No scoring so far in the other Premier League games - watching Newcastle v Fulham - would be interesting to see our loanees Adel + Remy come on - this game certainly needs something.
Remy on - makes an immediate impact for Newcastle. Wonder if Jol will bring on Adel to try and to do the same. Adel on - 10 mins to win game for Fulham, or will Remy for Newcastle? Adel immediate impact, almost scored. QPR are going to win this game for someone. Newcastle 1 Fulham 0, Ben Arfa - a true #10 goal!
Well us and Blackpool are now 3 pts clear of the others - next game is home for us (Birmingham), followed by Brighton (home), away for them (Bournemouth, who seem to blow hot & cold). They'll feel right at home beside the seaside! We need to work on our GD to stay #1 on days like this! At least we picked Matt Phillips out of their pocket, allbeit with a broken arm.
Interesting how Bournemouth, despite getting thrashed 6-1 at Watford and 5-1 at Huddersfield, have chalked up 3 wins, so with 9 pts are right up there in the promotion mix. Keepmoat can be a tough nut to crack.
