Southampton 3 Nottingham Forest 2: Derbyshire races to McClaren’s defence
MATT DERBYSHIRE says it is “disgraceful” that Steve McClaren’s position as Forest manager has been called into question already.
McClaren was taunted with chants of “you’re getting sacked in the morning” by home fans. But Derbyshire, above, said: “The manager is doing a great job. It is disgraceful his position is coming in for questioning.” Derbyshire gave Forest the lead in the seventh minute, but Rickie Lambert immediately fired Southampton level.
Lambert got his second in the 24th minute, but Radoslaw Majewski made it 2-2 before the break. Then Lambert won it for Saints as his late header completed a hat-trick.
