...at promotion. I said at the start of this run it would take a sustained run of that kind of form before I believed we were really in with a realistic chance. Today they didn't just look like different players from the start of the season, they looked like different people altogether, and I...

It's growing bigger isn't it? Kilbane and the fans having a pop at each other at the end of the game, now tweets from Jordan Clarke and Chris Hussey suggesting they feel they've received unfair criticism from Cov fans. One of the great things about lower league football is the community...

While we're throwing names around with little to no basis, how about Mark Yates? Not seen him mentioned yet. Did a cracking job with Cheltenham last year. Relegation candidates at the start of the season with a low wage budget and guided them to the play-off final. Got a decent record signing...

Bit of talk on a Derby forum that the Keogh deal includes us getting Callum Ball on loan for the season. What would we make of that? He's a big lad, did well when we played at their place last year. As with any striker we're ever linked with, his goalscoring record isn't great, but may score...

No fight. How many 50/50s did we win? How many chances did we have? It's not over 'til it's over, but that performance is a sure sign that we're a goner I'm afraid.

The two games next week are massive. If we beat Peterborough and win in Bristol, there's a decent chance we'll be 7 points clear of Bristol City with 4 to play. They have Forest away on the Saturday I think, which is not an easy game. Don't want to get ahead of myself, but today's win...

"Was it a toss-up between Jeffers and O'Donovan to start today?" :facepalm: And that, my friends, is why there is nothing AT can do to help the situation.

What's happened to him? He's not featured in the squad for a little while now. Thought he'd be in contention after he played at Palace, and I'd heard generally good things. What's the opinion then? Not good enough? Too many youngsters already?

Was incredible! Don't think I've seen many better than that.

What do we reckon? Barnsley have drawn 5 in a row, we've drawn 4 of our last 6. Draw again then? Will AT keep faith in the diamond or will we continue with the 4-2-3-1 that finished the game against Blackpool? I reckon we'll go: -------------Murphy-------------...

How on earth do managers keep getting such long contracts? Yes he's done an excellent job so far but what if it all goes tits up? We know as well as any club the kind of mess you can get into due to managers' compensation fees. That said I like Poyet and hope he succeeds.

Deegan was superb once he came on. Played plenty of clever one-twos, little one touch passes. It really quickened up the tempo of our play. In the first half we were taking too many touches, it was all a little too pedestrian. I don't think it's electric pace that's needed, but quick pass and...

Cheering off Bell and Hussey - pathetic. What good will that do?

Did I hear right? He was named on the bench today? :o

So, these banners get taken away for health and safety reasons right? At half time, they did that thing where they hoof a ball into the crowd and someone has to catch it to win a prize. Is this not infinitely more dangerous? There's people climbing over each other on the stairs to try and...

It wouldn't have taken an iceberg to sink it.

The players are not happy with SISU and the lack of activity. He mentioned 'making excuses of the things going on'. Not a good sign at all.

SISU are taking the piss now aren't they? 1600 Cov fans getting through the riots and going to Bury deserve some explanation. Where's the transparency they were preaching? What's going on in the club? Too much talk and not enough action. 'Irons in the fire', 'ducks in a row'? Bollocks. Sort...

How do we go about signing a 500k rated player when we have little (or no) money? We've allegedly gone in offering a straight swap, ROD for ALF. Clearly this is an unsatisfactory offer, but it is fairly sensible for us to offer player exchanges as we can tidy up our wage bill slightly as well...

Starting to really look forward to tomorrow lunchtime now. Looking forward to seeing us play, especially the younger guys I haven't seen much of (Christie, Bigirimana, Thomas etc). I've missed the trip to the Ricoh, even if the result isn't what I was hoping for most of the time, I'm always...
