    Fair comment. I probably got carried away with Coventry's point at Norwich.

    Terrific Championship dogfight tonight.

    Derby County versus Coventry City.

    Due to Social Distancing I can't sit down with my 10-y-o great nephew Oggie tonight.

    He is quite the Derby supporter along with his Dad. Puts on his shirt for every fixture. Bless him.

    Of course, I am hoping the Sky Blues do something. But for family peacefulness and happiness would settle for 1-1.

    I surprise myself sometimes. We (Sky Blues) got Rotheram next week. We always beat them.

    Poor start tonight, much improved as the game went on 3-2 wind and through to the last 32.

    A better result than performance, but a sign of a good team. Still top too thanks to the head to head win over Benfica.

    THe second half was much better, and should have scored a couple of others, but as you say sign of a good side to win when not at your best. Everything ok Grant? No whisky posts for a couple of days - have you run out?

    Yeah a good performance by Rangers last, especially Steven Davies, Celtic let down again by some shocking defending.
