'How refreshing' - Nottingham Forest fans' first impressions of Steve Cooper

Nottingham Forest fans are digesting Steve Cooper’s first day as head coach after succeeding Chris Hughton at the helm.

Cooper took training for the first time this morning as the team began preparations for his first match in charge against Millwall on Saturday.

The former Swansea City boss has also penned an open letter to fans and conducted an interview with club media.

Cooper addressed the importance of developing young players, his style of play and what he thinks of the squad he has inherited.

Here’s a round-up of what Forest fans have been saying on social media about Cooper’s first day in the job.

@PeterOHanrahaH: Concise, positive and decisive. Let's do this, you reds #nffc

@johnmichaelw: I know the first words are often the sweetest, but what an excellent interview! Really very impressive.

@KJMsport57: Good first impressions. #nffc

@Andy_thorpe48: Going off his first interview, he's no choice now. He's told us exactly how he wants the team to play. No defensive nonsense here.

@Trickygbh: Steve Cooper’s statement hit all the right chords with me. Wishing him every successful obviously.

@danfisherncfc: Not sure Swansea fans will say he played attacking and creative football whilst he was there but he did get results.

Dean Spencer: I like the letter, how refreshing to do this day one to the amazing support.
