Nottingham Forest fans fume at Sky Sports coverage during Coventry City clash

Nottingham Forest supporters were left without match commentary for stages of Wednesday night's Championship clash with Coventry City.

The match coverage, available on Sky Sports' red button service, was marred by technical issues throughout the first half, primarily concerning the commentary available, of lack thereof. Several Forest fans were able to hear BBC Radio Nottingham's commentary of the match rather than Sky's own talent, or none at all, while watching.

Others also reported issues with the on-screen graphics displaying the time and scoreline disappearing before the Reds went into half-time with a 1-0 lead. Here is a selection of the social media reaction to Sky's technical issues.

READ: Forest vs Coventry TV channel, live stream and how to watch

Georgia R Mayne: Woohoo commentary! Only took 40 mins of the first half.

Kevin Wilson: We have commentary but now no score in the top left that they keep referencing.

Chris Tönnies: The clock and score have disappeared from the screen now. Shambles. Forest v Coventry.

Simon Hunt: Seems you can either have better sound and a commentary and slightly better picture quality but you can’t have on-screen graphics as well. The reliability of Red button football games involving Forest this season has been awful.

Paddy Dakin: Please turn the commentary back off Sky.

@philipjustice66: Where’s the time and score gone?

Alan Wildman: Ok with all the talk on sound have we never had a clock on the screen??

Liam Stanhope: Sky Sports, you’ve sorted the audio now the scoreboard's gone.

George Woods: So on the red button tonight lads we can have the score or commentary you can actually listen to, but not both at the same time.

Ant Lord: Sky Football, can we have a clock and scoreboard now, please?

@tobytayles: Sky Football, your red button coverage is an absolute shambles tonight

David Smith: Sky’s coverage of the Coventry game on the Red Button has been absolutely diabolical so far.

Alfie Fox: The absolute state of the Sky coverage today.
