Post your apologies to Frank Lampard here….

Personally I think Lampard owes a thanks to Glasner, 5 at the back at home, passive side, and their best striker on the bench gets the last 20 minutes. He lined them up like they were away to Villa again.

Not complaining because it’s exactly what we needed to kickstart our season, but let’s not pretend that was a tactical masterclass. Newcastle won’t be so forgiving so we need to be on it.
 
if people didn’t have opinions it would be a pretty boring forum…..

people are allowed (and given the concept, encouraged) to express those opinions, and if you can’t understand that it’s purely what someone is thinking or feeling at the time, personally, and may or may not turn out to be correct, then you probably could do with some time off this forum?

I hate criticising managers and genuinely try to be positive but if anyone saw that starting xi today and thought we would perform like that I’d suggest you were lying

What a load of bollox.
After the week we've had ?!! Conceding 8.
To select an 11 from a newly assembled & injury/ suspension hit squad. Organise & motivate them to a man, to believe from the 1st minute was impressive from the Manager.
The confidence from which we can take into Newcastle. Win that & our season is on track.

Who cares what Forest did.
They been a Prem team for 3 seasons & spent money like you can't believe.

I'd congratulate Frank & coaches & our players for turning our week on its head.

Yep

But can we please just stop writing us off and also new players, after just a handful of games

I was puzzled by the lineup today, but Lampard proved he got it spot on.

That’s the thing. It seems to be fine to write off new signings after a few games, talk about sacking the manager who got us promoted and generally laugh at the club. As soon as the tables are turned they don’t like it though.

I'm afraid there are some curious characters in Coventry ( some even claim to be fans ) who are pleased when we lose.
I think they enjoy the misery of proper Cov City fans. When we win they just quietly disappear or claim the victory.

There was a massive overreaction to the starting 11. Other than playing BTA instead of Simms it was probably what people should’ve expected given the enforced absences.

why? Who would anyone have actually been changed other than BTA who actually did well. The nonsense belief grimes shouldn’t be included is exactly that - nonsense

Typical on here, say something is bollocks but do nothing to refute it. I’m talking about Forests tactics (quite important in a game between two sides you’d think) against a side they were expected to dominate at home (5 at the back, passive, set up to counter). The difference between the sides ended up being a touch of magic from Dasilva, not some tactical masterclass. The stats show Forest were wasteful, and we rode our luck at times (we were due some). Not often we’re going to win games up here with a 0.6xG. Anyone can look at that and say Glasner got it wrong, as much as Lampard got it right.

Agree about getting players up for it though and how important that is, the work rate was night and day from Brighton/Villa and they all to a man put a shift in, But nothing I originally said took away from the effort showed, or the massive confidence boost of just getting that first win by hook or crook.

Forest hardky had any real chances of note despite a lot of pressure. We constantly rotated the front 3 round the park and we advanced the wing backs rotational to virtually play as wingers at times
 
Yes, the Lampard talk was utterly ridiculous. But it was gathering traction and unfortunately the same will happen if we lose again. Glasner is the sort of coach that gets hyped up for tactical mastery but Lampard did better last night and had his team playing a fairly complicated system well.

It's fucking idiotic

Let us be dickheads and when we proven wrong it's soooo out of order to call us out on it.

😂

people need to get a grip of their chilling emotions and stop slagging everyone off when they lose their nerve. Yeh it’s a forum but you are also an adult

Oliver glasner said he was surprised by Frank's team setup and put him on the backfoot!"
 
Don’t see why we shouldn’t have a thread like this. There’s plenty of utter, knee jerk nonsense when we lose
 
Was meant to be a light hearted post, ironically calling out all those who over-reacted so much.

Ironically, loads of people seem to have then over-reacted!

If we finish 17th we have had a great season. We’re currently 18th. The reaction on here reminds me of Dec/January last season.

Few missed chances here and there, then a great touch and finish from JDS and the world looks a different place!

Enjoy the 2 weeks off
