Championship round-up: Pressure on McClaren as Forest flop

Nottingham Forest boss Steve McClaren had blamed off-field “squabbling” for his side’s poor start in the npower Championship this week and they responded by going down without a fight at Burnley.

Forest were 4-0 down at half-time against a Clarets side who started the night below them in 21st position in the table, and their 5-1 defeat must surely now leave McClaren’s City Ground tenure hanging by a thread.
