FOREST PEARCE DERBY IN DERBY

There have been a few managerial casualties over the festive season and Big Sam and Psycho Pearce must have been looking over their shoulders more than most. Just think if Stuart had done that against San Marino in that qualifier, the part timers would not have scored their goal after 9 seconds of play! Having a doze Stu?
With Pearce's team having beaten Derby in the East Midlands' derby at the weekend, he will be feeling more secure but not completely safe. Six Derby and Forest managers have bitten the dust after their failure to come up with the goods in East Midlands derbies.
Billy Davies was sacked on March 22, 2014 after losing 0-5.
Alex McLeish left by mutual consent in January 2013, after a disappointing 1-1 draw.
Nigel Clough was dismissed immediately after the 1-0 defeat by Forest in September 2013.
Steve McClaren resigned when his Forest lot were beaten by Derby 1-2 in October 2012.
Joe Kinnear resigned from Forest in December 2004 following a 3-0 drubbing.
John Gregory was sacked shortly after the final whistle when Forest won 3-0 in March 2003.
I wonder if the percentages of dismissals after "derby" defeats is greater than other? Stato? Over to you.
95 games played in major competitions: Derby 34 wins and 144 goals Forest 38 wins and 142 goals.
