Simms will be on the bench
Doesn't deserve to get picked crying off with a small niggle in his foot on Saturday morning
MR will not be impressed
Funny you should say that, didn’t think he sounded too impressed in his interview before the match.

Loads of tickets still available

Was quite shocked how few have been sold.

With 3000 Derby, it's almost certainly going to be a 27/28k crowd.

Shame really as I thought it could edge towards 30k for a more attractive fixture. Maybe people are put off by the previous trouble?

Midweek, unglamorous oppo, won't have sold many in our losing streak.

27/28 would be good, will there be many higher attendances than that in the midweek fixtures? Looking at the last set only Leeds managed it.

Ok guys need a bit of help or advice. My mate wants to go the Derby game with his 16 year old daughter but they’re refusing to sell him tickets because he doesn’t have a purchase history as he always pays on the gate. Because Derby have sold their allocation they think he might be a Derby fan buying in the Coventry end I was told. How can he get tickets and prove he’s a Cov fan?

Cant you buy them for him? Usually you just need proof of a Cov address don’t you?

They should be available at the ticket office before the game - they normally announce this

I guess we lost momentum during the early slump. People aren’t going to be throwing money at the club unless we are challenging for the top 6. As it is, I think 28k would be a good crowd.

Can’t he show his Biamou tattoo?

Can he go into the ticket office with proof of address and purchase them

:LOL: quote 'after the poor start to the season'

Stern John moved more for those two goals than the whole season

Hadn't we sent him on loan there, where he wasn't well received being an ex Forest player? If he wasn't always the most motivated player, he was certainly up for this game :)

Thought this would have been a slightly more attractive fixture really. Not as many local-ish away type fixtures now Leicester and Birmingham are out of the division. Plus a little bit of bite in the past 2 fixtures against them.

Would have been a good game for a bit of banter with the away fans. Shame they are 300 miles away from singers corner.

Why do people always have to have a dig at a player. Two good wins just enjoy it FFS.

BTA was really unlucky not to score on Saturday and reducing his pressing and work rate to saying he 'runs around a lot' is just petty
Just voicing my opinion.Is that not the point of a forum ? And I have enjoyed the wins as much as anyone

Stand by what I said. Some people just need somebody to moan about.

If you can't see the value in a player that does not stop running and pressing then that's on you.

I am not one of those that " need somebody to moan about " as you put it.
Again I am just voicing my opinion as are you . We just differ in this instance. And by the way some others on here have been in agreement .

I think Derby will come here to stop their away game rot and try to get a point or a lucky 1-0 cat hing us on the break.
they will sit back and try to frustrate us. We always struggle against these typeof teams who sit back and defend so hopefully an early goal for us will help to open the game up to our advantage

Still away for this. Fortunately (maybe) I’ve met a Derby fan so it’ll add some atmosphere to the game, even if we will be crowded round the iPad!

Game is 10:45PM where we are, which is actually perfect as kids (and probably partner) will be asleep so no distractions!

Pretty gutted to be missing it, especially as I expect a good result and a feel good atmosphere around the place again.

2-0, Wright, Torp.
