EDITORS COMMENTS
Great photo capturing the determination and focus of Roland Nilsson during Coventry City's unbeaten start as his manager in the Nationwide League, on August 27,2001 against Nottingham Forest. Nilsson, a former Coventry player, took over the managerial role on a permanent basis following Gordon Strachan's departure earlier that month. Under Nilsson's command, Coventry City enjoyed an impressive run, winning five games and drawing two of the eight matches played. The only blemish on their record came in the Worthington Cup against Chelsea. Nilsson's appointment came at a crucial time for the team, as they looked to bounce back from a difficult season in Nationwide League Division One. The Swede's leadership and tactical acumen were evident in the way Coventry City played during this period. The team was organized, disciplined, and showed a fighting spirit that had been missing in the previous campaign. Nilsson's appointment also provided a sense of stability and continuity, allowing the players to focus on their performances on the pitch. This photo is a reminder of an exciting time in Coventry City's history, when they were able to turn their fortunes around under the guidance of their former player and captain. Nilsson's unbeaten start as manager gave the fans hope for the future and set the tone for a successful season. The photo was taken during the Nationwide League match between Coventry City and Nottingham Forest on August 27,2001. It is a testament to the passion and commitment of both the manager and the players, and is a cherished memory for Coventry City fans.
