Coventry Fans Pre Match Comments.....

We' re at home against forest not away at Chelsea. Must win!

None of them 3 worry us their not a great side we should be looking to beat them tomorrow my only worry is fatigue kicking in after 3 games in 6 days with no subs used to keep players fresher than playing 90 mins but let’s see,We should beat them

I let you get away with it last time, but it is 3 games in 7 days (not 6). Think Murray is a clever player, but he shouldn't worry our defence with pace. Taylor hasn't started recently, they've played Grabban on his own, so I'm hoping they leave Taylor out again (as although I don't like him, he always worries me when we play against him). Think Garner will be a good player, but he and Krovinovovovovovic won't have had time to gel in midfield.

Bad feeling about this one. They've added some quality.

Remains to be seen if they will work out or not. Hughton hasn’t exactly set them alight since he joined

Yep, and everyone thought Oxford had the best window last year. Sometimes continuity is best. Hughton will do ok there, he'll keep them up, but nothing to say new signings will gel - and this is probably the best time to play them.

We hammered Forest earlier in the season and got nowt for it after giving away another daft penalty and missing guilt edged chances we should be chomping at the bit for this one.

Definitely a big game tonight and it’s one I’m looking forward to.

I would stick with the same team, albeit I’d be slightly worried about tiredness as this is the third game in a week for the same set of players. Important for MR to manage this properly through his substitutions - which isn’t a strength of his.

Their new signings look good on paper, but hopefully they won’t have settled yet and aren’t fully match sharp.

I’m hoping we’ll be offensive from the off, as we always look so much better when we are.

3-1, Gyokeres, Hamer, Ostigard.

Anything less than a win tonight and it will be a disappointing return from the last 3 given what’s to come

Draw is a minimum here but Forest are a decent side on their day and they’ve made some excellent signings in the last dew days. If Anthony Knockaert plays he is going to wreck McCallum’s career. Sam really struggles against tricky/pacy wingers, as he did against Brum.
Forest struggle up top with goals a bit like us.

My pal is a big forest fan he says they are hit and miss he don’t get why they play counter attack as their too lazy and not quick enough,regardless how they turn up they still struggle to score...he thinks we beat them tonight.

I think my concern is more that if we can only take 4 points from 9 from the teams around us then I don’t see the optimism v the teams above us. That’s my (somewhat muddled) thinking. That said I guess a draw also takes 2 points away from Forest so fair enough

Coventry City are saddened to learn of the death of former player Peter Hindley

played for us and forest
RIP in sky blue heaven....

I know Watford have a good squad but Garner and Murray barely got a kick of the ball at Watford I think this says a lot about where Murray is at in his career when you consider he was behind Andre Gray in Watford's pecking order who has only scored one goal this season which was against us. Krovinović is a decent player though he should be a good signing for Forest.

Forest are a strange team on paper they have a decent team but look poor.

Huge opportunity tonight. If we win we have a real chance to open a lovely gap given that derby are playing Rotherham too. They’re all big ones in this league but I actually think this is our biggest game of the season. Points will be hard to come by in the next month and I think if we come out of the back of that month with very few, we may well be occupying 21st or 22nd place.

Didn’t realise Forest have Cyrus Christie - be interesting to see what he’s like these days.

Played against us in the first match, past his best imo

[Strawberry Avenger]

Past his best, eh? Enough to disrupt the Coventry back line.

Great cross in and a Coventry player chokes, banging in an own goal.

Panic. :p

Coventry Fans Match Comments.....1st Half

Sheaf thinks he's in the U23's, look at those sleeves

Come on you sky blues

Inches away from a goal for Forest

Here we go. Knockers is going to take the piss out of Sam.

They should have scored

Lots of long ball tonight.

Great ball in for them don’t know how they didn’t score.

Crosses again our Achilles’ heel

Christie and Knockaert on their right that’s tough

McCallum is going to get turned inside out

Great cross there by Christie

Pitch looks awful.

Offside really? Osti good header

Gonna be a long night for young Sam

Good start. Hopefully an entertaining game.

Positive periods of play so far. Sheaf looking confident and wanting to play forwards.

The pitch looks terrible again but to be fair the ball looks to run well. The bounce is like a plastic pitch from the 80s though

Lots of pretty passing but no threat

Sam has no chance against Knockers

Knockaert has McCallum on toast

He needs to be smashed early before the cards start coming out

Knockaert in diving shocker, who'd have guessed?

Knockaert is a horrible little S**t

Too many attacks down our left side. Robins has to bring Shipley on now

Forest are just going to pepper us with crosses by the looks of it.

Biamous touch has been awful

Max in acres of space should have bought it down but just a weak as piss pass to the opposition. I love him but the more he plays the more obvious it is he’s a good impact player but nowhere near a championship starter.

BOOM
Biamou!
Get the f**k in!!!!
1-0

What a finish after Saturday’s weak efforts

He's had a really poor start but took that brilliantly.
Excellent work from O'Hare & Sheaf.

Come on city let’s keep going forward

Good goal. Need to put another past them and they’ll crumble I reckon.

No lets settle for a draw
Shipley get warmed up lad!

f**k off
So easy FFS
Poor defending
1-1

Pask just ghosts his man, so poor

Absolutely awful from Pask - nowhere near him and then a half-arsed attempt to tackle him - and WTF was Osti doing not closing him down?

Pask waved a leg and Ameobi just strolled by him. S**t goal

Sheaf should be tracking grabbon there

Could dry my washing on Pask's leg... Poor

DaCosta is no better

Why didn’t osti get out to ameobi
Pask poor defending and lucky finish he Mishit it to score

Oggy rightly fuming

Grabbon left in the kind kind of space you'd expect for a man with that beard

Pask not tracking Ameobi at all

Pask walks around like he’s stoned all the time
Wake the f**k up

Gyo hits his own post

Thought that had gone in for a minute.

We cannot live with crosses

We look like conceding at every dead ball delivery. Really missing Fadz in these situations I feel.

Tearing us open down the wings.

Nobody near grabon for goal or header

Grabban needs to be booked soon surely? A few intentional fouls now

f**k me how are we not defending these corners better.

Blatant foul by Grabban, lino a yard away gives nothing. Thankfully ref saw it.

Conditions are nasty out there. Going to be some mistakes
Rain is torrential

We've been poor since we scored. Although the conditions are horrendous.

We can’t get on the ball.

How are they getting so many unchallenged headers
Another foul by grabban

I think this is going to be abandoned

They look better team right now

We're too narrow. Full backs exposed and no options when we get on the ball

I think I'd be happy to take the draw right now. Conditions make this a bit pot luck.

Sam might as well watch from the stands.

Forest should be ahead and without Mcfazdean we look rather vulnerable
Forest forwards movement is miles above ours

Forest go close again

This could do with calling off

Ludicrous challenge ostigard

You need to double up on knockart not just blame McCallum

Looked like their foul to me. How's it a Forest free kick?

Ostigard challenge was awful

Knockhart giving it loads. Smash the p***k

We need to dig in here and get to half time at least on level terms

[Joe Baker Legend]

It's a good game. We need to get on the ball a bit more. Forest like being on the ball too but we must make sure we pass accurately.

Full backs shocking again, same as Saturday but didn't get punished for it. Dabo a huge miss and not convinced by Sam in a back 4.

Knockhart will give most full backs trouble in this division

He will but basic positioning helps.

Getting taken apart a bit here

Just a matter of time before they score from one of these crosses

We look suspect when they get the ball wide. Both Pask and McCallum not at their best today

Our 3 are losing the midfield battle Hamer can’t get near it

Midfield battle being lost

Their player should have been sent off then and hamer booked

Just need to get in at 1-1 at half time & reset... Needs to change it up.

Cafu is sent off for that in the Premier League.
If ref saw that he'd have to send him off, naughty by Cafu.

Definite kick from their player on hamer ref ignored it

Dacosta on and 3 at the back at half time?

Forest not staying down for long on this evidence

Their Humber 3 is following Biamou every time

Forest the better side for much of this half, we've struggled down both flanks

I think I'd put Rose on at HT and go 5 at the back to stop theircwide men, don't ask me who I'd take of though

Something needs to change second half, or we'll lose this.

[Joe Baker Legend]

Coventry Fans Match Comments.....2nd Half

Would take a draw now to be honest, not really in this and so sloppy in possession

Second best for most of the half. Look decent going forward in patches but losing out in midfield. Their wide men stretching Pask and mccallum and always look like getting the better of them. And their set pieces could be our undoing.

Can't see both teams finishing this game with 11 players

They're clearly targeting Hamer, he needs to calm down.

Just looking at the benches we're going to struggle to see this out

They are so much better than they were in the away game!!

We are playing long which works well when we pick up the second balls
Pask recovered well from his awful defending and has done well since
Need to get Ohare on the ball he’s our outlet and Dynamo and key to winning the game

Big second half performance here. Need to play our game a bit more. We’ve been very reactive just trying to keep up with Forest here. Could be a very bad night if we concede again and Wednesday go on to win.

Their midfield is teaching ours a lesson we start passing around in thst middle you can see them smashing us....needs a re think

Don't see Forest or Derby staying down near the bottom

Watching the game in a local bar with a Forest fan. He has to buy all the beers as we scored first, love you Max.

What bar?

Barbacoa, just a short flight away if you to join us for the second half lmao

Forest have better players and offer more of a threat. This is a game where a point will be gratefully received.
They should be near the top. That said it would help if our midfielders were not being overrun. A game to dig in.

He's been fine, best left back the club have had for a very long time. No coincidence that we've tightened up massively since he got into the team. Can't recall him being exposed in recent games. Tonight he's up against two players in Christie and Knockaert. Full backs will get beaten from time to time especially against somebody with Knockaert's ability.

Forest are a much better team which surprises me but we aren’t losing so as long as we don’t it’s a result

Dacosta and Rose coming on

3 at the back. Like the proacvtovity
Really not sure about Rose.

yes 3 at the back...Mccallum and decosta to bomb forward

Rose misses first touch

Good to see Rose back

Rose hasn't played for months. Hopefully he is sharp

Bit risky changing the whole right side of your defence mid-game, especially if you’re bringing on two players who’ve barely played in months.

Good work from Da Costa

Great move. Looking better!

Rose OG
f*****g hell.
FFS. That was terrible.

Crosses eventually do the business for them

Once again Christie runs free, what is James doing?

Rose has had a stinker from his first touch.

f**k sake. McCallum rinsed yet again, Marosi doesn’t claim it and then who knows what the f**k Rose was doing.

All that from a clear free kick on O'Hare...

Going down

I'd like to apologise for suggesting that we should bring Rose on. We'd started the half well

If we’re having relegation rivals doing the double over us we’re asking for trouble.

The only suprise is Forest aren't in top half of table.

It was only last week on here they were being labelled as dreadful.

Rose is S**t. Just because he can pass doesn't mean he can defend.

Our set pieces have been f*****g terrible of late.
They look like scoring from nearly all of theirs.

Forest just been gifted 6 points

Da Costa looks decent so far, going forward at least.

DaCosta looks great

Of course an opposition defender is again there to save on the line

Great header. Goal line clearance ffs.

Dacosta is already my new favourite player. Looks a bit mad

Hope we win a 97th minute penalty to equalise.

O'Hare wiped out.

Dacosta is the real deal!

DaCosta looks amazing, can't believe this is the first time we've properly seen him...

They’ve done f**k all this half but of course lead

Been by far the better side this half. Dacosta looks really dangerous. Keep getting the ball to him.

Substitution roulette. Baka coming on?

[Joe Baker Legend]

With the players Forest have, you'd think they'd be better than this. If we don't equalise it'll be a travesty.

The awful Colback on

DaCosta is running the show

Cannot believe we’re losing this

Dacosta is heading for the premiership

They’ve been pretty happy to let us have the ball since they scored.

Bloody hell, how good is Dacosta!?

Quick reminder to all those that had completely written off Dacosta as a failure by our recruitment team...

Two dreadful goals conceded, Forest done nowt this half

DaCosta is definitely our best player for about 10 years

By design. They’ve been sitting back since they took the lead.

35 seconds to take a goal kick but nothing will happen until he books him on about 87 minutes

There's a bobbly late equaliser in this, i can feel it.

We've got a goal in us here, surely. Playing really well atm.

Da Costa is unplayable!

Keep hearing about these great balls from Dacosta, how about getting some f****r on the end of them?

f*****g hell, our strikers are S**t

Remember when people slated dacosta after 10 mins against Norwich

Forest are so S**t. A lucky own goal will give them the f*****g win.

They’ve got 9 men in the box every time we get forward

Da Costa could have made 10 assists this half alone

I want a bit of luck. We’re all over these and are about to hand them 6 points because we defend like toddlers.

We have got to take one of these chances ffs

Forest are like the 3rd little pig and have built there house out of bricks, we will huff and we will puff

There's the difference between the two keepers...

Dacosta has a chance of making the France squad for EURO 2020 if he keeps playing like this ...

Bong is absolutely terrified of Dacosta, calling help over every time.
If we had a natural goalscorer in the middle we'd probably win this never mind scrapping to rescue a draw

Ref just give us a penalty to make it fair

Any decent striker would’ve loved a ball like that to the front post, just unfortunate it was Bakayoko who made the run.

James could have gone over Bong's outstretched leg there

If Walker and Godden were playing this game is out of sight

This is the most frustrated and pissed off I've been watching us all season


Nah the Forest away game was worse, after the Biamou pass and S**t penalty

Cannot believe we’re getting 0 points from these

Sure as hell they're looking to double on Dacosta with this change.

I've no idea how we're losing. I hope we get a thank you note from Forest for the 6 points we've gifted them this season.

Free f*****g header completely missed

This is a fantastic second half performance. Very unlucky if we get nothing out of this,

Forest panicking. Come on City!

Forest awful and getting away with it

These fuckers are definitely going to be a bogey side of ours...
2 wank wins against us as it stands

If we score, this'll feel like a win. We've battered them for 30 mins solid.

5 mins added on

Baka knocked out.

Has to be a penalty that.

How the f**k isn't that a foul on Baka?

How come a keeper can flatten a player for no foul, but if you sneeze in their general direction, it's a booking?

This second half is one of the poorest performances from a pair of strikers you’ll see all season, lack of movement and intelligence from both.

Did anybody genuinely expect us to get an equaliser?

Anyone catch the replay? Penalty?

100% knocked out

Guarantee the ref hands them the f*****g ball here.

It's never a penalty ffs

Nah, clearly comes & gets a good punch on the ball, just an unfortunate collision.

Pissed off with the manner we've lost this..

Really desperately need walker to come back strong

f**k Forest

One shot on target in 90 minutes and they're going to win 2-1

Even harder to take after what happened at their place

Result 1-2
Absolute disaster night. Everything that could have gone wrong has done.

[zicorice]

Brilliant read after taking 3 points. From How are Forest not in top half, to how are we not getting anything off these they are sh1t..

[Tricky]

Thanks for sharing Joe. Good job my friend!

[Sabricadabra]

They’re right about one thing. Our squad is so much better than our current league position.

[Fumanchew]

I hope other fans on their forum called out that one post of casual racism against grabban :/

[Strawberry Avenger]

It's nice to be someone 's bogey side.

Knocker is a "pr*ck.". Yes, but he's our....

They really rated him. Sounded like he was burying them. :)

You could smell the fear and panic in the comments.:D

They think we should be top half. ;)

SA.

[Strawberry Avenger]

Not for the beard, surely..?
