Championship Results 16th March Part 1

Barnsley 2-1 Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest’s poor away form continued as they lost to Barnsley. Robert Earnshaw conceded the penalty that led to the second goal but I still love him. And he did score an equaliser in the last minute, it’s not his fault it was ruled out. He and Chris Gunter both played the full match.

Coventry City 1-2 Cardiff City
Coventry took the lead after 32 minutes but Cardiff equalised just before halftime, before literally stealing the points in stoppage time. Cardiff remain in the play-off places.
Freddy Eastwood was a second-half substitute for Coventry. Darcy Blake and Adam Matthews – who is apparently not going to Arsenal - both kept their places in the starting line-up. Darcy nearly scored but it went over the crossbar but it didn’t matter in the end Aaron Wildig was on the bench.

Crystal Palace 0-1 Leicester City
Crystal Palace remain out of the bottom three on goal difference while Leicester moved above Swansea City in the play-offs.
Andy King played the full match for Leicester and nearly opened the scoring early on. Nicky Adams was a late substitute.

Derby County 2-2 Middlesbrough
Both sides took the lead in this match and Derby probably thought they’d won it, only for Middlesbrough to score in the 90th minute.
Robbie Savage started the match but he was substituted after 63 minutes, only for his replacement to score four minutes later. Don’t you just hate it when that happens?
Middlesbrough’s Rhys Williams played very well until the 87th minute when he was sent off. Danny Coyne did make at least one fine save but as usual the Boro fans are concentrating on the two he let in.
