    Who won the coin toss on Saturday to decide who would be attacking which side first? Anyone know?

    Matt on iFollow seemed to think Derby won it but surely they wouldn’t choose to play with the sun in their keepers eyes for the second half? If so that decision could well have lost them the game. Keeper made a fair few mistakes with the sun in his eyes and even if it didn’t directly cause the corner or goal it kept the pressure on them.

    Considering the sun didn't come out until about half an hour into the game, I doubt that had any bearing on the decision to turn us round. If Conor won the toss, he would have known we prefer to attack the ponte second half so obviously turned round.

    Wish we would exploit the sun more at times. Mowatt hit a long ranger from 25 yards a couple of seasons back that the keeper never even picked out of the sky. Simple pot shot. Wish it happened more. We should pepper the goal and be quick on the follow up.

    We kicked off, so they must have won the toss.

    Derby won the Toss, had us kick towards the Ponty first half. Sun wasn't a factor then. The first time I saw the sun out was as I went back to my seat for the start of the 2nd half

    Selfishly I prefer the way it was on Saturday. I prefer seeing the opposition attack more clearly second half, stops me being so jittery!

    True, the sun is famously unpredictable and sometimes decides to set in the opposite direction :D:D;)
