Always going to get those people that can't enjoy a win without taking a swipe at other players. He's been playing through a niggle the last few weeks, as has Eccles and a couple of others. BTA succumbed to his. All the more reason to be happy that Wright and EMC are back for the run in, and...

Performance of the season! Controlled from start to finish. Haji Wright proving why we paid £7.7m for him, he'll get MOTM today and rightly so, but Jamie Allen was sublime. He was integral when we started our good run under Lampard and he's come back in and done it again today. Torp was...

Absolutely! My dad thinks possibly the best time to play them, he is probably right. Someone from Burnley shown a straight red tonight as well?

That's just not the Coventry City way is it 😂 It did feel a bit like that. Disappointing we couldn't put more distance between us and those behind. The international break will hopefully do us good. Sunderland at home is arguably the best scenario we could of had before the break, will take that...

I was a little worried about this too, my dad just pointed out though that the teams above us are on shaky ground themselves, a little of the nerves creeping in perhaps? I hope so! Leeds, SU, Burnley and Sunderland not capitalising as yet. Hopefully the pressure gets to the 3 we have to play.

Pretty lethargic performance all round. I think Derby just wanted it more. Tactically wrong tonight i feel. I don't think there was really any standout players. Feel like we could have changed formation at half time, possibly needed 2 up top against these. Slightly frustrating that we are not...

This is spot on. It's clear we are attempting to play a different style of play under Lampard. The goal contributions from the midfield and wingers are exactly what you would want from a team. It sometimes leaves our CF's looking isolated, but he is doing the ugly stuff and in most matches...

Absolutely, man. We were saying before the game we don't expect any game to be a walk over from here on in, I can't help but feel that after the early goal a little complacency crept in, we can't afford to let that happen. It will be a test of mental strength now. You're right that it was...

A better team would have probably punished us, i think too many having an off day. Don't get me wrong though, as i said it was gritty, as you would expect next week will be too. Teams fighting a completely different battle to us as they are doing anything they can to pick up points to survive...

Hard to dissect that. We couldn't decide if it was sloppy, gritty or just a bad combination of both. A couple of players off their game today. We seemed wide open down the left, i'm sure that will have been picked up on. I'm probably not the only one who thought the Allen substitution should...

When it was rumoured there was interest him in January, i asked if he knew what we would let him go for, he said he had heard £9m+ GBP. Whether or not any other clubs value him at that price remains to be seen. This is why i think we stand a chance of holding on to him.

I think you're right about Andrews, have a feeling he has the ability to make the breakthrough. Also as a side note, i think BTA may leave if we can recover what we paid for him, there is interest in him from other championship clubs and we obviously had the approach this window from one of...

I think this list is spot on, based on whispers that are going around. Eccles would fetch a decent enough fee too. The only thing i'd say is that if Wright were to go anywhere it would have to be a sizeable fee, and it's not been said that there has been any interest in him as of yet. So i...

Yeah, we were saying yesterday that what we don't need is another transition type season. We've been unlucky with injuries too this year so by the time we have a fully fit squad it will be easier for people to see it's not as bad as they think. They all know each others game now and i think too...

I think he would improve like most young players, given the time and the right coaching. I think it's more of a case that it was identified pretty quickly that we needed more experience in the midfield and defence, if we want to make the step up. Like most have been saying on here all season...

I agree about MVE (if valuation met) and Sheaf. It sounds like a few others are not in the long term plan from the whispers going round. Like you say, hopefully this time around recruitment and Lampard get it spot on.

Battle of the sources there i think. Mine said Lampard was told he would be backed, others have said we have no money. I can only pass on what i'm told. Grimes is not a bad start. The RB was to be a permanent transfer so would've been a reasonable fee. Obviously we'll have to move players on...

I wouldn't be surprised.

Interesting talking point today was that most of the players linked to leaving are signings that MR pushed for.

Although it was a short cameo the other night, i liked that it seems he always knows his next move and where his pass is going, before he receives the ball. He looks a very good player.
