Nottingham Forest fans are all saying the same thing after Coventry City defeat

Nottingham Forest were defeated 3-1 by Coventry City as the club begin their pre-season schedule.

Steve Cooper's side are currently out in Spain on a training camp and faced Championship side Coventry at the Pinatar Arena as new signing Giulian Biancone scored his first goal for the Reds in the friendly. All four of the club's new signings, Moussa Niakhate, Dean Henderson, Taiwo Awoniyi and Biancone started the game.

Biancone opened the scoring late in the first half, but Matt Godden replied almost instantly. Two second half goals from Tyler Walker took the game away from Cooper's men after he elected to make 10 alterations at half-time.

And Forest fans have been reacting to the loss on social media. Here's a taste of what is being said on Twitter...

@ RobertR31279978: It’s about fitness not result’s all that matters is the first match of the season

@garytucker_81: Seriously... its a friendly its about fitness and assessing players

@scarletone77: It's pre season it's not about winning but getting minutes in the tank fitness etc #nffc

@sammiej8787: Folk actually whinging about the score It's a friendly, fitness and new ideas that is all! #NFFC

@TrevChapmanNFFC: It's about fitness and trying new things etc...

@_jonny_rotten: #nffc fans who are panicking need to calm down. It’s a meaningless run out for fitness. 2nd half side wasn’t even a reserve team

@TheHonestOne22: Surely fans know that pre season games are for gaining fitness, trying out tactics and in essence result wise - they mean absolutely nothing?
