Npower Championship definitely looks like the powerhouse of English football this year, the biggest clubs, the best managers and the most illustrious players.
Steve Keanâs Blackburn lead Hull 1-0. 
Simon Cox is already well on his way to establishing himself as a Reds legend, gave the assist to Guedioura in our 1-0 demolition of Bristol on Saturady and scored a beaut last night at Huddersfield where the jammy hosts drew level with an injury time peno.

Simon Cox took heart from The Redsâ 1-1 draw at Huddersfield last night and told Forest Player that his teammates deserve âmassive plauditsâ for the way they played.
Forest were cruelly denied all three points by an injury time Jordan Rhodes penalty after Cox had put the visitors 1-0 up.
The striker said: âThe lads deserve massive plaudits for some of the football we played. Especially when you consider that the team we had out havenât been playing together for long.
âWe dominated the game from minute one to minute 92. I think tired legs cost us at the end.â
Forest went in to the game all guns blazing after opting to play with two up front, Dexter Blackstock partnering Cox in his assault on The Terriersâ back line.
And the Irishman believes he and Blackstock can become a devastating strike force.
He said: âMost partnerships take a little bit of time and, as long as youâre both willing to put a shift in thereâs no reason it shouldnât work.
"Weâre both clinical in front of goal and weâre both comfortable with the ball at our feet. It should be a good partnership.â
Coxâs 68th minute strike was no more than The Reds deserved after an excellent attacking display.
He said: âIt was a great ball from Lewis. I knew that I had no-one on my left shoulder so I knew I could take it there.
"It was just about composure in the end and thankfully Iâm off and running now. â
All them boggers donât know what their missing mate
watched forest v bolton this morning having my weetabix. very good game. 2-2
Andy Reid with a fine goal. Not so sure about the Che Guevara tattoo on his forearm though. Reid was much more comfortable coming infield from his position on the left. That was how his goal came about. A run from deep that wasnt tracked and Cox played him in. Cox played pretty well, plenty of movement and effort. Lacks a bit of class up top though. Reid was Forestâs best player. Very comfortable on the ball and always available for a pass. Has definitely lost weight.
Was an end to end type of game but Bolton had the greater quality. Lee is easily EPL type quality and wouldnt mind Villa snapping him up. Eagles gave Moloney a bit of chasing on the left. Forest were more hardworking but have some truly dire players in their side. Harding, Halford, Moloney in the back four alone. Not to mention Dexter Blackstock up front. Andrews had a decent game for Bolton in the middle but can very conservative on the ball sometimes. He isnt going to change at this stage of his career but cant help feeling he could be far better with some self belief. Davies as expected will be very influential at this level. A blatant push on Danny Collins was key in the first goal.
Bolton if they put the graft in should be very strong in this division. Forest played some good stuff but have too many poor players to be promotion contenders.
Did you really watch the game kib? I find it increrdulous that anyone who watched and would bother their while commenting upon this game would fail to at least mention the utterly stupendous strike by Lewis. As good as it gets mate. Makes the rest of your comment somewhat redundant to be honest.
Bolton were gifted the draw, a clear push for their first goal and an error on ours that let them in for their 2nd, well taken as it was.
Decent draw away from home against the championship favourites with a team and management setup still in the getting to know each other stages. Reid is a class apart at this level now heâs proper fit
Didnât see that goal. Wow. The commentator was on about it alright but didnât see a replay. Goal aside McGuigan didnât seem much in the game. Gas to see Jonathan Greening come on, havenât heard anything about him in a couple of years. Didnât realise he was with Forest
Good point at Bolton for sure but think ye are desperately lacking quality in a few positions. OâDriscoll was on the coaching staff last season so there shouldnât be too much of an issue settling in. If Reid is still a class apart in March or April, Forest might sneak into the playoff picture.
Steve Keanâs Blackburn overcame Leicester City 2-1 today with Nuno Gomes and Gamst-Pedersen on the scoresheet.
Blackpool hammered Ipswich 6-0. Tom Ince has started the season very brightly, it seems.
Kevin Doyle was on target for Wolves in a home draw with Derby.
Leeds won 2-1 at Peterborough after a double from Luciano Becchio.
Jordan Rhodes scored in Huddersfieldâs victory over Burnley.
It has been some start to the season for Steve Keanâs Blackburn. He deserves great credit for the loyalty he has shown Blackburn, he could easily have gone the way of Owen Coyle and Paul Lambert who left their clus for the next available offer after they believed they brought their club as far as they could - but Steve Kean does not think of his reputation - he remained loyal to those who gave him his break and both Keano and Blackburn are reaping the rewards. Steve Keanâs burgeoning reputation continues to prosper with the utmost integrity while Lambertâs and Coyleâs continues to sink without dignity.
Steve Keanâs Blackburn lead 1-0 at Elland Road.
2-0 up.
Chants of Keano, Keano ringing around Elland Road
SKBR
Oh dear!!!
3-2 down now.
3-3, get in.
Excellent character and fighting spirit from SKBR. The players never panicked when the game was going against them and thatâs a credit to the manager.
