Coventry City - Nottingham Forest

[Strawberry Avenger]

This season is transitional and people need to understand that. 

I’m not a fan of CH’s style and the dour let’s Nick a goal and defend attitude but the age profile and type of players that we seem to be looking at is positive and shows that we have acknowledged the problem and are trying to move forward. 

There will be some highs and lows but that’s just Forest. 

We can’t underestimate how much covid may have affected yesterday - we tired in the 2nd half and the cancelled 2 games took their toll.

From where I was sat 2 things changed the game for me - Mbe Soh injury and Mighten sub.

A big negative for me were a lot of fans near to where I was sat slagging off Yates for the free kick giveaway - we still had to defend it and didn’t. 

And booing Bong - please don’t. He might not be what we want or need at left back but he’s wearing a forest shirt and put in a shift yesterday. 

...

Highs and lows. But we’re slowly trying to turn the oil tanker around.

Decent post, Heb'.


SA.

One or two having a little pop at Bong, Yates and Colback which is all very predictable but strange how nobody mentions Samba who got up like a sack of spuds for his second attempt to stop Coventry's winner.

Horvath to start on Wednesday for me and to keep his place on Saturday if he does well.

I know this won't be a popular opinion but that's how I see it.

Hope you're OK Sniff.

I think Samba could've done better with the goal too, though it's very frustrating that both their goals came from deflections that went straight back to their players rather than ours.

Colback and Yates did a good job breaking up their play in the first half but not so much the second, and Colback was more to blame for their first goal than Bong was.

Real shame Mbe Soh got injured. I thought he looked very good and his pass played a massive part in the first goal. Hope he's not out for long.

Totally agree sniff. Again walked out yesterday saying the same thing. Samba at huge fault for the second goal.

I slagged off Bong - Ann’s I stick by the fact he isn’t good enough for championship football but agree that Samba was at fault for the winning goal and Colback at fault for first. I am confident we will be better stocked come August 31st but we could be scrapping about in the bottom half by then…

I actually think this would be the popular opinion surprisingly, I think most people are sneakily starting to wonder whether he makes too many blunders. Particularly combined with his weakness at crossing.

It was a really bad error too, pretty much cost us the game.

Horvath will play on Wednesday and probably would always have done so. The question is, will CH be prepared to drop Samba for Bournemouth if Horvath does well? I have no idea.

Yes. That is why he signed him.

Do you get dropped for one mistake though Sniff?

[tugger2018]

Get a grip guys would seriously drop easily by far the leagues best goalkeeper ?

Tugger what are you smoking pal?

He wasn't even the best of the two goalkeepers in yesterdays match.

Hope all is well for you and yours in Greece Sniff, it looks scary stuff there at the moment.
