Coventry City - Nottingham Forest

[Strawberry Avenger]

Quite an exciting team! I hope Carv comes on and plays a blinder, a bit of confidence in him could be like having a new player ??

Well, it IS!  Exciting.  This is what many fans wanted.  The journey men are out. All 14+ of them.

And whilst Forest are recruiting the necessary quality in the market, the Academy graduates get their chance.

Same with Car on the bench.  They have to perform. And what fan doesn't want them to? I hope this adventure is rewarded in a result.

They can't say Hughton hasn't given them a chance in pre-season or to start the season.  It's a clear departure in strategy. It's night and day from last season.

Thought Prutton just did a reasonably good background piece on us covering Murphy, recruitment, academy etc

CH confirmed Worral injury but stonewalled reason on Grabban missing. Im guessing Covid.

2 of whom have yet to make their first team debut?

But Hughton doesn't pick youth lol.

One of the strangest complaints of any manager ever. I can't remember the last time we started a league campaign with so many academy products in the side?

[stefanduma]

Any idea where the commentary is on the official site

Yup.  Let's not get facts in the way of complaining.  For sure.

Did we even start with that many Academy graduates under Hart?  Jenas, Williams...
