Football League your thoughts: Newcastle top of the tree at Christmas


Derby County concede at last, Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday leave it late, cash in-hand for Yeovil Town and more drama in south Wales

• When Neil Warnock took charge of Cardiff City in early October, it was never going to be dull. Last week there was Sol Bamba’s bizarre behaviour and subsequent red card, and this week another entirely different escapade, as Barnsley snatched victory with a 95th-minute winner in south Wales. There were six other goals, Sean Morrison’s opener inside three minutes before Ryan Williams dug deep down the back of the sofa for a winner after Cardiff had pulled level at 3-3. “It was an exciting game for the neutral – on how not to defend,” Warnock said. Cardiff have now kept just one clean sheet in their last 22 matches.
