What they're saying

"
European football commentator Kevin Hatchard says Coventry would be in "a very different scenario" going into the extended international break had they not secured their first win of the season by beating Nottingham Forest 1-0 on Saturday. It was the Sky Blues' first goal and win in the Premier League since 2001 and ensured Frank Lampard's side moved off the bottom of the table. "The win at Forest is enormous because to go into that international break on a high is really important," Hatchard told BBC CWR.
