If you’d have offered me 4 points from the first two before the Hull game I’d have taken it

Draw your home games and win away, won’t be far off

covcity4life · 2025-08-16T14:36:40+0100

Eustace Will do well this season. This is a great away result

HadjiChippo · 2025-08-16T14:36:45+0100

I trust Frank and co to sort out the issues. Away win, 5 goals, I’ll have that.

Not many teams in this league could come here and score 5 (and probably could've had many more)

That's what I said, a few games time he'll be moaning. He needs to manage minutes when he can.

Just looks like he doesn't trust his squad.

You're complaining about something that hasn't even happened. Just enjoy the win!

pusbccfc · 2025-08-16T14:36:50+0100

Really hope Grimes is alright

stupot07 · 2025-08-16T14:36:56+0100

Great win, entertaining game.

Mixed bag performance.

Grimes looks fucked

Not ideal timing. Was a very physical Derby team.

skyblueinBaku · 2025-08-16T14:37:20+0100

What a game. What a result.

Marty · 2025-08-16T14:38:14+0100

Superb, thought we played some fantastic stuff at times, Derby are nowhere near us. Dodgy at the back though, if anyone from Sheff Utd watched Thomas today, they would quickly advertise their attention elsewhere.

Sick Boy · 2025-08-16T14:38:18+0100

Great team spirit to come from behind and win like that.

HadjiChippo · 2025-08-16T14:38:30+0100

Confident Win against QPR and all of a sudden an odd start, starts to look like a strong start.

EalingSB · 2025-08-16T14:38:55+0100

Loving watching Frank with the fans now. Mental game but three points all that matters. Winning when below-par will make a huge difference as the team spirit was great. Should be an interesting week in the transfer market too.

I just don’t think Saka impacts away as much as he could, though th same could be said for EMC TBF

Good shout

fernandopartridge · 2025-08-16T14:39:34+0100

It was a really good away performance aside from some errors, on the ball we were excellent and looked miles more dangerous without Sakamoto imo.

Great result and some good performances. Defence still needs to improve. Thought Mason Clark and bta really did well as did grimes and Torp.

Paul Anthony · 2025-08-16T14:40:53+0100

That kit looks a totally different colour on TV than it does in person!

Good to get the win, especially after going behind. But we can't go through a season defending like that again. Its the same as last season, and even parts of the season before that. It needs sorting.

Leaving their penalty out of it, the other two goals we conceded were really poor.

God points, Thought Ephron had a good game, they didn't look like they could cope with him. Torp as well, took his goal well to wrap up the game.

Room for improvement certainly.

AFCCOVENTRY · 2025-08-16T14:41:28+0100

Don’t look at the table folks!

Enjoy it for 19 mins

RoysterE17 · 2025-08-16T14:41:51+0100

Sets up the weekend nicely! Great result in the end but shows we have the players to do the job but some work is needed!

Speedie's Head · 2025-08-16T14:41:56+0100

Great result. Torp excellent!

I've seen enough of Rushworth to last a lifetime I'm sorry to say!

Match Plot · 2025-08-16T14:42:06+0100

This game felt the opposite of last week where we were in control but not getting a result. I think Lampard will be thrilled with the result but not best pleased with how that played out. That said, historically against physical teams like that where it’s a scrappy game, we’ve been 2nd best. Top teams can play poorly and get results. Take it and move on to next week! If you told me we’d score 5 goals before this match started I would have rolled my eyes.

COVKIDSNEVERQUIT · 2025-08-16T14:45:05+0100

You bedwetters get back in your bed.

DT-R · 2025-08-16T14:45:13+0100

Positives:
•Shown great spirit to fight back from behind against a shithouse of a team.
•5 different goal scorers on the scoresheet, including BTA.
•3 points on the board and +2 GD
•First win at Derby in over 20 years, more shit streaks beaten by FL!
•Torp played well and if he carries on this way, Sheaf will struggle to get back in imo.

Negatives:
•Both MVE and JDS look awful at defending.
•Our defence look all at 6's and 7's when a team attacks with any sort of aggression and purpose.
•Rudoni was virtually non existent for most of that game.
•Rushworth looked shakey. His kicking was worse than prime Wilson, he came and flapped at most crosses and my heart stopped every time. Hope hes just had an off game, but against a team that put it on us, he looked ropey!
•Outside of scoring the penalty, Hadji offered nothing but a heavy touch.

Cant decide:
•BTA. Could easily go in to the negatives for his endless running down blind alleyways, but then reacts fastest for the 3rd goal and keeps a nothing ball alive to for the 5th.

So happy that we won. Lampard can walk away with e3 points against his old club.

Skybluedownunder · 2025-08-16T14:47:37+0100

Really need to strengthen up the back, far too leaky

The Underdog City of Middle England* getting exactly what they deserved for playing a shit Pippo Inzaghi tribute act in goal.

Also if anyone has taped the game there's a lovely shot of a very depressed looking sheep mascot in front of that banner at about 76min- enjoy.

THE OLD FIVE

*should someone explain to them the difference between 'Middle England' and 'The Midlands'?

Haha yeah I saw that.

Right, I know many of you are new to association football and have only been watching the game for a very short while, but just to let you know, a match lasts 90 mins plus added on time.

Looking back at this match thread, you would have said we were certainties for relegation.

Anyway, we were the better team the whole game and only wobbled when they got that 3rd goal, which looked to me, like a miss hit.

Lots and lots of posts calling for FL to change things around, but we did constantly look dangerous and obviously now it's been proved the manager was right to leave things as they were.

Defensively, it's still a worry, but if we can keep on scoring goals at the other end, we'll be fine

Sick Boy · 2025-08-16T14:49:06+0100

That’s the sort of game we’d have lost at the end of last season.

TomRad85 · 2025-08-16T14:49:34+0100

One thing is clear, whether people agree or not, Lampard prefers BTA to Simms. I do too fwiw.
If he can flip one of them it'll be Simms.

But better than Wilson and Collins

Raphael rewarded for his performance on tuesday with 20 whole seconds of action

Looked a bit of a defensive liability for those seconds too!!

SkyBlueStallion_89 · 2025-08-16T14:51:08+0100

Cracking result, happy Haji is off the mark and happy for BTA getting a goal, Torp is quality and finished his chance brilliantly.

Not only did we win and scored 5 goals, but those Derby supporting wankers who hate Lampard will be furious tonight! Justin Peach and his boyfriend must be livid

Not Wilson, not a chance. He looks like an U21 to me. Keepers need time to develop and learn the game
