Big match in the championship tomorrow night between Burnley and Derby.
Middlesbrough may look back on yesterday as a really big missed opportunity. The goal they conceded wasn't of great quality, either. Quite a low, trickling finish into the corner. The shot should have been closed down.

Big week for Derby, starting tonight with their trip to Burnley. Man United this weekend in the FA Cup, too.
Bit of an annoyance for them with TV making them play Monday and then Friday night.
Wow. Burnley 4-1 Derby.

They scored three times in 12 minutes in the second-half, after both sides went in level at 1-1 at half-time. An own goal set Burnley on their way, before Gray and Vokes scored penalties after Butterfield's equaliser. Arfield wrapped things up.
Good game, thoroughly enjoyable
Defensive horror show from Derby
Derby actually played extremely well in that first-half, but my word, that defending for the second-half spell in which they conceded three was nothing short of farcical. I felt the second penalty was harsh, and Arfield was so lucky with the fourth, but Burnley were well worth their win purely for the quality of their passing/interplay.
Jason Shackwell especially had an absolute nightmare return to Burnley, he actually said when he left them for Derby that he was moving onto bigger and better things.
What a boring, boring night:

Brentford 1-1 Leeds
Nottingham Forest 0-0 QPR

Blackpool 0-0 Sheff Utd
Bradford 0-1 Barnsley
Bury 0-0 Crewe
Doncaster 1-2 Port Vale
Peterborough 0-1 Burton
Shrewsbury 0-1 Oldham

Leyton Orient 1-0 Newport
Another loss for Bradford. Parkinson needs to go

Barnsley win again though...

Isn't that like 6 or 7 wins on the bounce for a team who were dead last in League One?
Mental.
Yeah they are on an amazing run up to 13th now, another great win for Burton as well away to Peterborough.
Burton just keep on keeping clean sheets. They've only conceded more than once on three occasions this season. Their promotion challenge has been built on a solid defence.
Another loss for Coventry this time at home to Scunthorpe.
Hey look, Barnsley won again.
This is getting ridiculous.
