Nottingham Forest fans in meltdown at 'joke' EFL decision

Nottingham Forest supporters are furious after head coach Steve Cooper was overlooked for Manager of the Season at the EFL Awards last night (Sunday).

Cooper was beaten to the prize by Luton Town boss Nathan Jones, whose side are currently one point and one place (fifth) below Forest in the Championship table.

The decision has led to an outcry from Forest fans after Cooper turned the Reds' fortunes around following the departure of Chris Hughton back in mid-September. Forest were bottom of the Championship at the time but now look set to finish comfortably in the play-offs. Below is a look at how supporters have been reacting to the news.

@davo261088 : Even given what Cooper has achieved, I can't begrudge Jones this on the budget that Luton have. An absolutely outstanding achievement to get them to the Play Offs.

@rbikysx : What has he even done to deserve that?

@Cranky84 : How Steve Cooper has not got the manager of the season is beyond me

@shipman15_tim : Joke

@RichWest74 : Good luck to him deserved Cooper can just concentrate on promotion

@forestforever11 : To be honest I’d sooner Wayne Rooney got manager of the year

@1865luke : Did rate him until his anti football display against us
