1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast

Five points from the first nine for unbeaten Nottingham Forest, but could it have been more against Wolves? Two early goals ensured that it was honours even, with Chris Wood's header quickly cancelled out by Jean-Ricner Bellegarde's screamer. Wood had a second half effort ruled out for offside, and both teams had penalty claims, but in the end settled for a point. George Edwards is joined by Baz t...

It was an early away win for Nottingham Forest, resplendent in their new sky blue kit, away at newly-promoted Southampton. It was a well-deserved victory and frankly the margin of victory should have been greater against a team who have earned the title of "Possession FC". George Edwards and Tom Newton report back from St Mary's, and we are also joined by TheStatsSaint with the view from the home...

It was an opening day draw for the Reds against bogey team Bournemouth, as the visitors scored a late equaliser that was "preventable" according to both Nuno and pretty much every Forest supporter. Chris Wood's opening goal came midway through the first half, but the game had already been overshadowed by a serious ankle injury to Danilo, who needed lengthy treatment behind privacy screens, before...

Looking at the table after the match, well it was easy wasn't it? Forest ended up six points clear of the drop zone, despite the PSR deduction, and hopefully this game will have helped to lay the ghost of Stoke to rest. Chris Wood also got back in form, sometimes strikers just need to play against their former clubs. Steven Toplis is joined by Tom Newton, who is fresh back from Turf Moor, and we a...

On a day when Forest were confirmed as "all but safe", the Reds failed to rubber stamp their Premier League status as they conceded two late goals to money bags Chelsea. In truth, Forest didn't look like a worse team than their wealthy counterparts, until the subs were made, which strengthened the visitors and weakened the hosts. Steven Toplis is joined by Baz to discuss a topsy-turvy game which t...

A much-needed three points, as despite scoring first through ex-Red Ben Brereton Diaz, the Blades proved how bad they are at defending, allowing Callum Hudson-Odoi to score two of his trademark goals, sandwiching skipper Ryan Yates' first Premier League goal. The Maradona of the Midlands is joined by George Edwards, as our match reporters recover from their dip in the Trent to review a potentially...

A creditable performance, but Forest missed their chances and the champions took theirs. Goals by Gvardiol and Haaland saw the points go to Manchester, but the general consensus was that the Reds did ok. The real question is whether thay can produce the goods in the last three games of the season? Presented by Steven Toplis with Baz, and the view from the opposition comes from Mike Passaris. We'll...

As predicted, it has been one heck of a week for Forest fans, with the defeat at Goodison followed by THAT tweet, and the ensuing fallout. Jamie Martin brings us the latest: Post-match tweet Forest request VAR audio Legal action against Gary Neville? Clattenburg contract extension? Stuart Attwell: Luton fan Rich Ferraro is joined by the Maradona of the Midlands to discuss a turbulent, tumultuous,...

The key fact is that Forest lost a relegation six-pointer, to two long range goals. The underlying facts are that there were three clear penalty shouts waved away, including (at least) one where the ref clearly got it wrong but VAR chose not to correct him. The headlines go to the club's tweet on the full-time whistle, which accuses PGMOL of bias and suggests that the club will explore their optio...

It definitely felt like two points dropped, despite the Reds actually scoring from a corner, and fighting back from conceding a poor goal to take the lead. The old Achilles heel of set pieces hit us again as the defence failed to defend and the keeper could have done more. In the end, it was honours even and no-one was really happy. Steven Toplis presents the match report, along with Tom Newton, a...

In reality, the best team won, although it was a match that seemed to hang on a series of incidents: Murillo's own goal, Chris Wood's miss, Maddison's punch and Spurs' half-time subs. After a slow start, Forest actually played quite well for much of the first half, but the natural order was restored in the second period. Rich Ferraro and George Edwards report on the game, with contributions from T...
