Everything was going according to Donn's arrangement. Coventry were still lacking in attack, so seventeen minutes later, they replaced the underperforming Pipe, and it was Gary who came on; McShefrey. The 20-year-old is the team's leading scorer up front so far, scoring three goals in 10 appearances. If it weren't for the calf muscle he strained in training two days before the game, McAllister certainly wouldn't have put him on the bench.

A young man with yellow hair, who looks a little like Rooney. Of course, if he was as good as Rooney, Don would have cried.

Although not as good as Wayne Rooney, McShefrey's arrival caused a lot of problems for the Forest backline. He didn't appear in the middle, but pulled up to the left, facing Forest's right-back Frenchman Matthew; Louis Jean.

When Donn saw the change, he realized that he had thought of McAllister simply. The player-manager may not be able to see the big picture better than the off-field manager, but he has first-hand knowledge of many details. Forest's right wing-back is indeed a headache for Donne, the only Frenchman in the regular right-back is Smeka, who can also play at right-back, but obviously he plays better in defensive midfield. The other was John, twenty-one; John Thompson, although he can also play at right-back, is best suited for his position in defensive midfield and centre-back.

Watching Coventry from the stands, Coventry's head coach is watching his team from the pitch.

McSheefrey is not a master dribbling master, but his speed on the flanks is a headache for Luis-Jean, and with the rain slippery, he is always easy to get past and sometimes can only be blocked by fouls. More worryingly, the man was clearly better than Coventry's previous two strikers, with both shots hitting the woodwork. Donn shook his head in the stands, he didn't expect that, and he didn't tell Walker at half-time. At this time, if Thompson, who has better defensive ability, is replaced, he should be able to prevent McSheefrey, who is injured.

Pity......

That's when Donn discovered a bigger problem. Although McAllister was playing on the field, he could not make the most timely adjustments to the team. I watched the game in the stands, and even if I saw the problem and came up with a solution, I couldn't notify the assistant coach on the sidelines...... The result was the same, none of them could make the most direct adjustments to the team.

Thankfully, Bowyer and Walker on the sidelines made the change Donn had in mind ten minutes later, replacing Louis Jean with Thompson who had been burst into a sieve by McShefrey. The situation is back in balance.

As the minutes ticked by, the fourth official held up a sign on the sidelines for three minutes of stoppage time, five minutes left before Donn's first win in charge. The Forest fans in the stands kept singing, and the fans around them couldn't wait to come up and congratulate Donne, who seemed to them that the game was a sure win.

Don had a smile on his face again, and his bad mood gradually improved after being tossed by the two disciplinary committee members and the security guard at Highfield Road. In this black-and-white world, there is nothing more lovely and joyful than victory.

There is an old saying that has been mentioned countless times on many occasions, and the ears of listeners have become calloused. However, at this moment, it is still necessary to put this sentence Joseph, the godfather of German football; Herberg's famous quote is a rehash of the same old tune: football is round.

Just as the fourth official put down the electronic signboard and turned to go back. Coventry City won a free-kick in front of the box, approximately twenty-five metres from the centre of the box. They won five free-kicks up front in this game, the first four of which were conceded by McAllister. He probably had the same as Ian; Jace had the same complaint: the turf was too slippery, the soil was too loose, and the support foot was not strong.

But this time......

While McAllister was standing in front of the ball, the Forest fans around Donn were still singing and dancing, but he himself stood without saying anything, watching the field intently. The more moments like this, the more nervous he became. As long as you get through this ball, the rest will be easy to say. The Forest team can keep the football at their feet until the end of the game.

With McCollister's back to the cheering Forest fans, and with no close-ups on the big screen, Donn couldn't see the coach-player look on his face at this moment, and he was about to win in a game between two people.

The referee blew the whistle, McSheffrey duffled a shot, and McAllister followed up with a shot!

The soccer ball tore through the rain, over the wall, spinning and around Darren; Ward's hand then hit the net headfirst, and the splash of water shot out in all directions, even smudging Donn's eyes.

Don blinked vigorously, trying to confirm. He soon heard deafening shouts, not from among the Forest fans around him, but from the sky blue phalanx opposite......

McAllister was crushed by his excited teammates, and the commentator's voice echoed: "Eighty-eighth minute!" Coventry, Gary; McAllister! Direct free kick, beautiful! 1:1 Draw! They are unbeaten in eight straight rounds! He was greeted by a roar that sounded like thunder from the stands.

"I'm my uncle!" Don slammed his fist the seat next to him, and the fans around him fell silent. It was an outcome that no one expected, as Coventry, who had not had a few chances in the game, equalised with a direct free-kick. There's nothing more infuriating than a three-point in your hand turning into one. Even angrier is that Don doesn't know what the problem is, his team's performance is almost perfect, and just because of a balloon on the opponent, 88 minutes of hard work are in vain.

The Coventry players were still celebrating, while the Forest players stood on the pitch with a confused expression.

The rain was still falling, but Donn didn't care about what the weather would do to the game, and in his opinion, the game was over, 1:1, and he and McAllister were tied. The guy who was the player and manager, although he couldn't save the team with tactical adjustments, he did it with his own goals.

He turned to look at the disappointed fans and began to regret why he was sitting here. It was a terrible feeling to be around them, to see them transition from joy to disappointment.

"Back at home, I'll give you a winning ......," he muttered in a low voice.

※※※

The end result of the game was a tenacious Coventry equaliser before the end of the game, and the visiting Forest team took a point, but they looked even more regretful and unwilling than the home team.

After 29 rounds of league games, Forest, who have played one game less, even slipped to 14th place in the league, with only 39 points. The only consolation for Don is that the difference between 14th and 6th in the league is only four points. It's just two games apart, and they've got one game in hand.

His teacher left a mess for himself, and Don finally made the team have a little fighting spirit, and he must not be sluggish because of the results. There are no big problems within the team, and Donn only has one task left now - and that is to lead the team to a good result.

Good results require good players, and Donn is in an awkward position at the moment.
