Can anybody please explain to me the bread thing today. There were slices of bread all around the stadium and Stoke fans singing about it. I genuinely don't get it

 

[Flying Fokker]

Probably been posted already!

Used your loaf

Lampard very nearly got schooled by Robins. Hopefully it’s a lesson learnt for him. Derby is a huge game now

 

[junglej13]

I hope as many of them Stoke twats who were wooooing after the opening game of the season were there today.

Did you go for cheese, pickles and large fries with that?

MvE Achilles but was running about so who know what he’s done to his Achilles. EMC toe should be fine for Derby.

MVE one was so weird. Thought for sure we wouldn't be seeing him for at least a month then a minute later he's blasting down the wing again. And then subbed. Very strange.

Very bizarre. But he was celebrating like a maniac with the players and Frank when we got the winner.

Hopefully EMC was more precautionary.

And a moaning little c**t. I hate him

 

[Skybluedownunder]

Also BTA was nowhere near as bad as the match thread makes out.

Are you serious? He was awful! That long field cross to nobody alone was worth a rating of a 4

Really like Burger. Not had a great season but snap your hands off for him here.

Yeah decent player, think Man Utd were linked with him once. Just probably plays the same role that Sheaf and Grimes play so unless we’d sell Eccles I dunno where we’d find a requirement for him, that would be a super luxury signing

Maybe so, but today not at his best tbf

He did some top draw through balls today. Man he is a joy to watch.

Hope your lad is ok

Thank you, yeah he's fine. Cried a bit on the way out but he's fine thanks and when I spoke with him on the way home, he still enjoyed the day and would still come back!

Got some sweets in the family zone for decent colouring of the Cov badge, saw grandads brick in the wall, had a photo with Sky Blue Sam, got daddy to spend more money on him in the club shop...he's alright thanks mate.

He really isn't that good and not better than Eccles on today's display

Thank you...I think I'll buy a pair when I take him back again.

When I took him to his first game (Lampards first vs Cardiff) he cried when we won the penalty appeal for our equaliser.

Today he was fine with WLADITT and both Torps goals but he was starting to get bored on 75-80 mins and was emotional going into injury time. When we were attacking for the 3rd goal and everyone was on their feet, I was sat cuddling him as he was already in tears and didn't see Thomas's finish. Some things are more important right?!


But he still wants to go back!

 

[Skybluedownunder]

Derby 2 up against Blackburn in 7 mins. That is how an old manager comes back to haunt an old club!

Going to be a tricky game on Tuesday

It currently looks as though Derby go down, 4 points behind Cardiff & Stoke will be a hard slog.
Win on Tuesday night and it will be real difficult for them to start picking up points.
Fair play to Eustace leaving a club in the playoff places to join one fighting relegation. That takes some huge balls

Safe journey back home Skyblueweeman.

Invest in ear defenders for your son.

Thanks! Once we got out of the car park, it was an uneventful trip home thankfully.

Back in Pompey by 5.20pm!

 

[Skybluedownunder]

Lats at RB…

Would prefer Eccles there if I’m honest, Sheaf back in CM

Head loss of the year award goes to that away end today. The scenes after Bobbys winner were glorious.

FL’s comments post game were spot on. We have been far from perfect in our last 2 games but it shows the character in the side to keep finding these late winners after being pegged back.

Whilst Im not a fan of it, the frequency we concede sloppy goals against teams with blunt attacks means a move to a back 5 against the better teams/potential play off games would be a smart move, even if it’s to just start games.

Finally, it’s clear Bobby has his flaws defensively but that’s 4pts he’s won us at the death in the past month - could be massive come the end of the season. Roll on Tuesday, sold out away end under the lights could be pretty special.

 

[Marty]

Thought we started slow and could have been losing after 10 mins, defensively fragile all game. After that knocked it about well and got a deserved lead, it was almost too easy for us and we seemed to be a bit complacent second half. BTA was poor, gave away the ball for their goal and just shrugged his shoulders after being berated by someone else. Doesn't offer an option down the line for JDS as he always wants to come inside. Wright is the preferred option but I think Lampard sees him as a striker.

Onto the next one, a must win as it gives us a buffer as we'll inevitably drop points the following 3 games.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Maybe the shift to 4-3-3 is making us more vulnerable to conceding goals v 3-5-2.

But we do need to work of the defensive side.

 

[mrfang1987]

Didn't really see the 3rd goal as my son was in tears...apparently he's not good with loud noises.

He's not coming to Wembley with me!

Stuck in the traffic waiting to drive back South. Safe journeys home everyone..

What a result!

You could get him some ear defenders? When it’s a sell out at the CBS my kids find them useful as the noise is louder. Took them to Wembley as well!

I have supported Cov since 1976 and feel this is the best ever
