Taylor and Johnson looked a right handful in the first half. Taylor hasnt played in any forest side that provides as much threat as that going forward.
And colback firet half was immense, winning challenges and tackling.

But yeah sure blame the manager why not.
We played decent first half, better team. Second half played worse, faded badly, clearly tired. Draw fair result, shame about the mistake at the end.
Beat me to it Wassy.

Also we made a sub first half due to injury so only had two. He made one at a normal time and saved one for injury, which was required.

Opposition make good subs whilst CH doesn’t realise the game is drifting away and does nothing, they score, we still remain on the back foot as Coventry continue to go forward, take a striker off to bring a defensive midfielder and end up losing. Reap what you sow keeping a manager with a 28% win rate and the same old story! And lack of signings means relying on players like Bong and Colback and no forwards on the bench.
The game was drifting away. But he did put on PZ. And Forest almost scored from his corner.
Reap what you 'Sow.' (see what I did there?) ;)
Forest ran out of steam because the squad is thin.
But it's hard for any team to lose two CHs.
It's a slow market. Forest could do with signings.
Coventry got a lucky ricochet for the 1st goal. 2nd goal. Our own fault. Clumsy tackle from Yates gave Coventry the impetus. Dangerous area.
Coventry barely had a shot on goal until 84 mins. Then when they got the goal the momentum really swung their way.
Forest just ran out of ideas and energy. Signings needed. 'Soon.'

Look we weren't bad but we definitely weren't good either. The best team won they controlled the game for larger spells in both Half's and push on final 20 mins with a view to win when we just hoping not to lose. It happens and it is only the first game of the season so let's see how we do over next few games.

It's hard to be rational, sane or balanced when you're team loses.
But props to Wassy04 fairly sums things up.
Frustrating. But that's football.
Forest looked fine with the set up 1st half. Brennan and Mighten causing all sorts of problems.
Not many teams can lose their star CH and main Striker. You can only pick what's fit and what's your strongest team available.

Can anyone tell me where you all bought the "ready made excuses book" :D
RE: Coventry City - Nottingham Forest - Paplane - 08-08-2021
And we were really unlucky for both their goals. On another day Samba saves that one at the end and the deflections dont happen for the first.
Rash challenge by Yates at the end to give the free kick away but i can put that down to tiredness.

I think that's a familiar feeling over the last two seasons.
But it's going to take some quality signings to get out of that mentality of conceding late in games.
A point away from home would have been fine.
Back to the training ground for Wednesday.
I'm a Yates fan, but his tackle was rash and put the result at risk.

RE: Coventry City - Nottingham Forest - Widdow - 08-08-2021
Look I have already predicted the excuses two weeks ago
Lack of pre season threadbare squad
I saw that two weeks ago and yet here we are
Johnson put a few more thousands on his fee, can we hold onto him?

On another day the Coventry defender doesn’t kick the turf and clears Johnson cross.
RE: Coventry City - Nottingham Forest - Paplane - 08-08-2021
I also thought we were a bit less dynamic when Soh went off. We lost a bit of composure at the back.
And Mighten better get ysed to the treatmemt he receiived today because the minute he gets away from the defender he gets hacked down.
