Not All Gloom And Doom

Preston breathed a huge sigh of relief after watching the Saturday fixtures after only losing a point on leaders Cardiff. The Welshman were leadin gup until late on when Derby equalised to take a share of the spoils meaning Cardiff have a four point lead over the Whites going into the midweek fixtures.

Third place West Brom were defeated in a local derby at Birmingham with Burnley remaining fourt. Wolves only managed a draw and so the top half of the table all bunched up with North End still holding onto second place with a tough run into Christmas ahead.
