There's a break in play before half-time as Forest defender Loic Mbe Soh gets some treatment.

A loose Forest pass drops to Coventry forward Viktor Gyokeres.

He advances forwards but has no support, so he attempts a super-ambitious strike at goal.

From all of 35 yards, it's a harmless low striker and an easy gather for visiting keeper Brice Samba.

Martyn Waghorn tries to weave his way through Forest defenders in the box, but is shut down by the sheer numbers in front of him.

Err, yes actually!

It's never a good sign when the away fans are making more more noise than the home fans.

And, while it's not been the most enlivening of games so far, the red-shirted wall of Nottingham Forest fans were already having most to shout about even before they scored. Not much of it printable. But pretty loud, for sure.

And that opening goal has just made them even louder!

Some work for Forest keeper Brice Samba to do, as he comfortably fields a cushioned downward header from Julien Dacosta.

Coventry midfielder Ben Sheaf then picks up a yellow card for a tug-back on Alex Mighten just inside the Sky Blues half.

This game has turned into a bit of a midfield battle, with no-one able to exert any control.

Coventry's Julien Dacosta is penalised for a foul throw, which sums up the past few minutes.

Forest boss Chris Hughton knows his way out of the Championship, having won the title with Newcastle and automatic promotion with Brighton.

He stabilised the club last season and has had to contend with a somewhat bloated squad.

His usual pragmatic approach is lacking a sprinkle of quality in the final third so far this afternoon.

Joe Lolley is on set piece duty again.

He swings it in under the crossbar, but Coventry keeper Simon Moore claims again under no pressure from attackers.

The ball pings around from a couple of throw-ins, and then Coventry defender Dom Hyam brings down Brennan Johnson.

It's on the right about six yards outside the box.

A good opportunity for Forest to put in a cross.

Joe Lolley gets into the Sky Blues box and has a couple of efforts blocked, with the second one deflected behind for a corner.

The set piece is somewhat over-hit to the back post again, and goes out without causing the hosts a serious issue.

Referee James Linington has words with Coventry midfielder Ben Sheaf for a late challenge on Brennan Johnson.

No card, but a warning.

Ian Maatsen puts in a threatening cross after collecting a cross-field pass nicely.

But his centre is too close to Forest keeper Brice Samba.

This game is being well contested, but yet to really burst into life.

Good goalkeeping from Coventry's Simon Moore, who comes to claim a Joe Lolley cross which Lyle Taylor was interested in.

Better delivery from Lolley that time.

Nottingham Forest waste a corner, as Joe Lolley's delivery from the right goes really deep.

Lyle Taylor tries to stretch out a boot to bring it under control, but it drifts out of play on the far side.

Forest striker Lyle Taylor gets his first sight at goal.

He bullies Fankaty Dabo off the ball and gets into the area on the left.

Taylor strikes fiercely at goal but is cutting across the ball, and his strike swerves away and ends up going out for a throw-in.

Sharp passing from a throw-in in the Coventry half releases Callum O'Hare to advance through midfield.

Things open up for the midfielder, but he drags his shot well wide of Brice Samba's goal from outside the box.

Coventry striker Martyn Waghorn lets fly at goal from 25 yards out, but his effort is blocked by a defender on the edge of the area.

As expected both sets of fans are in full voice.

Coventry skipper Kyle McFadzean gives away the ball as the hosts look to play out from the back.

Joe Lolley takes his time over his cross before sending it straight into the hands of Simon Moore.

The Sky Blues are sloppy again moments later, and have a let-off as the ball bobbles behind off Lolley.
