Town remain third in the Championship after fourth-placed Bournemouth lost 2-1 at Nottingham Forest this evening.

The Cherries went in front in only the third minute through Andrew Surman but Forest hit back via Jamaal Lascelles and Henri Lansbury on 21 and 44 to claim all three points.

Following the midweek fixtures, the Blues (60 points) are five points behind leaders Derby (65), three short of Middlesbrough (63) in second and a point ahead of Bournemouth, fifth-placed Norwich City, who they face in Sunday’s biggest-for-some-while East Anglian derby at Carrow Road, and Watford in sixth (all 59). Seventh-placed Brentford (58) are a point further back.

On Saturday, the Rams are at Fulham, Boro are away against Sheffield Wednesday, the Cherries are at home to Blackburn, Watford travel to Leeds and the Bees are at Birmingham.

Bergholtblue added 12:56 - Feb 26 How much longer do we have to wait for the 'League predictor'? I can't wait to have a play with that. It is incredibly tight anyone of the top 8 still have a realistic chance of automatic promotion, although now Derby are finding the net with ease, they look like favourites to finish top. Take this week end, by Sunday night we could be third or could be 7th. Its bonkers!

It goes without saying the away support at narwich will be massive & noisy throughout - away supporters always rock. Would just live to hear PR rocking a bit more too! COYB!
