FT: Nottm Forest 0-1 Coventry
Coventry City
Coventry City boss Frank Lampard, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "The players deserve it. It's really important for some of the players, for many of them it is their debut in the Premier League, they haven't been here before and they need to feel like they belong and play like that. They took on the gamplan really well. I am delighted for the players to have that feeling.
"It's not a nice feeling [losing] albeit the Brighton result looks a bit better today after what they've done against Arsenal.
"There are lots of things we can learn and sometimes this year we may take those hits, it's a reality for teams that get to the Premier League. It's important we overcome them in terms of how we take it on board and stay together. It is easy to point in different directions when you lose but the groups really strong, really together, there'll have a good feeling from this one but we'll keep our feet on the ground because it is one win but it was needed for us."
On Jay Dasilva's goal: "He reminded me of Ashley Cole because he scored a few of those. And it was really good. The first touch was outstanding and the finish was outstanding and what a time to do it. He has been brilliant for us."
FT: Nottm Forest 0-1 Coventry
Forest are 12th after that loss, while Coventry are 17th.
FT: Nottm Forest 0-1 Coventry
Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner, speaking to BBC Match of the Day about the international break: "Half the team will be here, nobody knows how to cope with this situation.
"I always try to get the best from every situation, we will have players return day by day before Crystal Palace.
"Every team has the same situation. It's important to switch off and get this disappointment out of our mind."
FT: Nottm Forest 0-1 Coventry
Forest's next game is against the club Oliver Glasner left in the summer, Crystal Palace.
But it is three weeks before that game because of this mega long international break we're getting.
FT: Nottm Forest 0-1 Coventry
Forest have only won one of their first six games under Oliver Glasner this season.
Remember last season they got through four managers...
FT: Nottm Forest 0-1 Coventry
Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner, speaking to BBC Match of the Day on the VAR decision: "Of course I have thoughts but I don't want to speak about it again.
"We had this big discussion after Tottenham, referee decided and we accept it, that's it."
FT: Nottm Forest 0-1 Coventry
Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner, speaking to BBC Match of the Day on his thoughts to the loss: "Frustrated, disappointed.
"We wanted three points and the players gave everything until the end but we made one big mistake, one big ball from the goalkeeper.
"We knew he had a very big strike and we got punished. We tried everything until the end but we have to blame ourselves. It's the third home game without a goal and that makes it difficult to win.
"We have to find a solution, today was the first time I could feel the heaviness of the past, it was very quiet in the dressing room. When we conceded the goal, everyone was nervous, the entire City Ground was nervous and I think this is the reason of last year.
"There is nobody to blame, the solution is to play with more freedom and more confidence."

Coventry City
Coventry City boss Frank Lampard, speaking to Sky Sports: "I feel great, I feel amazing. The way the players worked for it. Tough place to come we knew that having lost our first four games all in different circumstances it's easy to think negatively and think where is the goal and where it the win coming from?
"The reality in football is you have to fight for it, you have to work for it, you have to have organisation.
"I can go through so many players today and how they worked. You make your own luck in terms of VAR, I think it was a foul but when you work that hard I think the boys deserve it. It's huge mentally for the team. We are a team with a lot of players having their first stint in Premier League football. Not everyone is a Wayne Rooney or a superstar that can just own it. This can now hopefully give us confidence. The boys today have shown they can do it.
"We know their system really well. We have played a couple of good teams and maybe gone a bit more direct than we wanted to, so we tried to set up to give ourselves a chance to play against them. The first half we played well and I just wondered if we had enough conviction to score a goal and that's what I said to them at half-time and Jay [Dasilva] popped up.
"I was worried. I went back to the bench and they said it looked like he'd stumbled but as they took time on it you can see he has that step on him which puts him off balance and it's a foul. It's VAR getting the right decision."
FT: Nottm Forest 0-1 Coventry
Among ever-present sides since the start of last season, only Tottenham Hotspur have won fewer home games (three) and earned fewer home points (16) in the Premier League than Nottingham Forest (four wins, 21 points).
FT: Nottm Forest 0-1 Coventry
Only Brighton's Pascal Gross (15) has created more chances in the Premier League this season than Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White (14).
He’s responsible for two of the three occasions a player has created six or more chances in a game this season (including seven v Aston Villa last week).
FT: Nottm Forest 0-1 Coventry
Nottingham Forest’s 24 shots today were their second most in a Premier League match since they returned to the division in 2022.
Their most was against Wolves in February, a game in which they also failed to score (35).
FT: Nottm Forest 0-1 Coventry
Coventry City
Coventry City defender Jay Dasilva on how difficult it's been to adapt to the Premier League: "We knew it was going to be a big step, we've had some real tough games to start with.
"It was really important to get that first win, the first clean sheet, moving into the international break."
FT: Nottm Forest 0-1 Coventry
Coventry boss Frank Lampard is getting interviewed on Sky Sports now.
"Frankie," says his cousin Jamie Redknapp.
Imagine if they had a family member come on to interview every manager.
FT: Nottm Forest 0-1 Coventry
Coventry City
Coventry City defender Bobby Thomas speaking about their first win of the season: "It gives us a right boost going into the break.
"We've had a couple good performances in the first five games but no points to show for it. This is a real good stepping stone today and something we have to build on and not get too carried away."
FT: Nottm Forest 0-1 Coventry
I thought it was a foul personally...

The referee standard needs to be looked at, another weekend where a mistake was made. Another apology on the way?
Jordan, Birmingham
How is that goal disallowed, the defender was falling over his own player more than anything else. VAR is ruining the beautiful game. The referees might as well not even be on the pitch.
Richard, Kent
People saying the foul wasn't a foul because he took a few steps before going down don't realise that attitude is why players go down so easily. He's tried desperately to stay on his feet to prevent the goal but was still fouled originally, shouldn't be punished for that.
Jesse, Leeds
FT: Nottm Forest 0-1 Coventry
Coventry City
Jay Dasilva speaking to BBC Match of the Day about his first goal for Coventry: "I've been waiting a while, the lads have been giving me stick for a long time, so I'm happy it came today and gave us the win."
FT: Nottm Forest 0-1 Coventry
While this was Coventry City's first top-flight win of the season/the last 25 years, it was their 100th Premier League victory overall.

Nottingham Forest have won each of their last six home league games against Coventry, with this their first since a 2-0 Championship victory in April 2022.
This is the first Premier League meeting between Nottingham Forest and Coventry since January 1999, and a 4-0 home win for Coventry. The Sky Blues have won two of their last three top-flight games against Forest (L1), as many as in their previous 23 (D9 L12).
Nottingham Forest have failed to score a home Premier League goal this season but have never started a season failing to net in their first three at home in the league, while Coventry are also goalless and last failed to score in their first three on the road in 1998-99.
Coventry City have lost each of their four Premier League matches this season without finding the net. In top-flight history, only Crystal Palace in 2017-18 have had a longer losing start without scoring, losing the first seven.
Since last Christmas, the only ever present Premier League side with fewer home points than Nottingham Forest (11) is Tottenham (8), while Forest are the lowest home scorers in that time with nine goals.
Coventry City are looking to avoid losing five consecutive league games for the first time since February 2017, when they were in League One. In their first Premier League spell between 1992-93 and 2000-01, they only lost five on the bounce once, in October/November 2000.
Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner didn't lose any of his first 10 Premier League games against promoted sides (W6 D4) but he's picked up just one point in his last four against them (D1 L3). The most recent of these games was a 0-0 draw between his Crystal Palace side and Leeds in March, a game which had the worst overall passing accuracy (73.2%) in the 2025-26 season.
Since the 2022-23 season, 38 managers have taken charge of 25+ Premier League games and Coventry boss Frank Lampard's win ratio of 12.1% (P33 W4 D8 L21) is the second worst in that time, ahead only of Kieran McKenna (10.5%, P38 W4 D10 L24).
Only three Premier League players have had more shot involvements (shots & chances created) without registering a goal or assist this season than Coventry City's Jack Rudoni, who has had five shots and created eight chances without success so far.
Only Bruno Fernandes (7 goals, 15 assists) has been involved in more Premier League goals in 2026 than Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White (13 goals, 5 assists), with Gibbs-White the leading scorer this year. Only Chris Wood in 2024 (18) and Stan Collymore in 1995 (14) have netted more in one calendar year for Forest.
