Coventry (H)
Two home games back to back, before five away games in our last seven. They are all must win, but these next home games are especially important.
I think we’ll slowly start to see some rotation as we play pretty much twice a week until season end.
Can we win the next nine in a row? Probably not. But it will be bloody entertaining nonetheless!
League Form (last 10):
*Form Table: 3rd v 14th
*GF 22 GA 7 v GF 12 GA 14
*2.1 PPG v 1.2 PPG
Over the last six:
*Forest: W5 D1 L0 @ Home - GF 16 GA 4
*Coventry: W2 D1 L3 Away - GF 6 GA 10
Team News:
Cooper was at it again on Saturday. Grabban and McKenna back well-ahead of schedule and not even a hint of it pre-game.
Cook and Lowe will probably ride in by helicopter, such is the cunning of Mr. Cooper.
I think Samba will retain his place. I wonder why he doesn’t play for Congo? I think the team will be the same as the Blackpool game.
Our U18s drew 1-1 with Wolves, whilst our U23s beat them 1-0 thanks to a Swan goal. Our 18s play Chelsea in the Semi-final, our U23s have climbed to 5th in the table.
Prediction:
3-0 to Forest.
We are getting better every week and are bang in form. Coventry are a decent side, but I can’t see us losing this one.
COYR!!!

What a great result. Figs was was outstanding; had his one error in the first half, when headed it straight to the Cov forward instead of letting it go for Samba. Apart from that, he was really good.

Bringing the players on we did tonight is like have a brand new starting 11
Such depth and quality in our squad <appplause>

What a difference in attitude, performance, tactics, application, confidence and result from our opening game of the season
In a way, I’m grateful for Chris Hughton and what he did in our opening 7 games - I thankful we were so woeful, because if those result had been any different, he probably wouldn’t have been sacked and we probably wouldn’t have ever got Steve Cooper

Imagine the scenes if we carry on this form and win at home to brum and away to Luton. Bournemouth are away at sheff utd next so they could easily drop 2/3 points there we maybe inline for automatic promotion 😳

Game 38 April 6th 2022
Nottm Forest 2 - 0 Coventricity
Johnson (25), Garner (61)
FT
The journey through the forest grew mesmeric. Been here before, been here before growled the engine.
"The woods are lovely, dark and deep..." said Strum, his eyelids drooping as he spoke.
The Old Man stared sternly into the darkness. "But we have promises to keep," he said. "And miles to go before we sleep."
As The Big Red Train accelerated once more into an uncertain future, Strum's eyes closed, and he dreamed the strangest dream.
A group of small blue men were running around a green field in circles, and as they ran they sang this song, which Strum thought he had heard before in a musical show.
"We are the sky blue chappies and we run on electricity,
The other teams have trouble putting up with our intensity,
We're neither rich nor famous and we probably will never be,
But all we want is people to respect our Coventricity.
You see we've got you on the run with our creative quality.
How will you ever cope with our phenomenal mobility?
Oh crap that Johnson kid has scored a goal of sweet simplicity!
If only we possessed that kind of goalscoring facility...
You've got some players blessed with more than average ability,
That Davis for example is a mine of versatility,
But we don't need to worry yet or lapse into timidity,
We'll score a couple near the end, for we are Coventricity.
So persevere you blue men in exploiting their fragility,
We've got the will, the self belief, and oodles of fluidity ,
We must increase our levels of aggression and audacity...
Oh crap, they've scored again, a Garner shot of some ferocity.
Oh well, we'll put it down once more to goalmouth inability.
We're good at all the pretty stuff but lack penetrativity.
It's been a solid season though, and so, with all civility,
We'll leave you with our best regards, for we are Coventricity"
And then they all ran away like little blue fairies into a magic wood, where the wolves were waiting for them.
"I've just had the strangest dream," said Strum, as he woke to the real world of iron and steam. "Did anything happen while I was asleep?"
The Old Man's one good eye twinkled. "Not much," he said. "We despatched Coventricity quite cleanly. They seemed okay with the way things turned out. Well, the survivors did."
