On February 7th, Nottingham Forest was back on their journey in the English Football League Championship. After more than a dozen days of rest and reorganization, they scored a modest 1:0 victory against Coventry City on their home field.
While the dozen or so days of break gave Tang En the time to adjust the team's tactics, and once again prepare for a new battle, it interrupted the Forest team's rhythm. It was a tough game for them to play on their home turf, and they finally beat their opponents by scoring a somewhat suspect, offside goal.
After the game, the Coventry City manager jabbered on about the referee's decision, thinking that his team should have been the winner. But Tang En, who got off lightly, insisted that the referee was right, and did not want to further mention the goal.
