Burnley 0 - 0 Leicester
Sheffield U 4 - 0 Crewe
Watford 0 - 2 Forest

Gary Megson has started to turn around Forest's fortunes as they made it 6 games unbeaten and 10 points from the last 12 on offer. They are still 4 points behind City but are now a team in form. Watford lost to Coventry on the weekend so over the two games have done themselves or us few favours.

Sheffield Utd bounced back for their defeat at Ninian Park on Saturday with a home thumping of struggling Crewe. Crewe have not won in the last 10 league games.

As you can see from the table below only 10 points covers 12 teams in the bottom half. Forget Rotherham, Miracles R Us is closed this season.
