1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast

45 minutes of heaven, followed by 45 minutes of hell - however, Forest scored three goals in the first period and withstood the Fulham offensive in the second half, to earn a welcome three points and make up for the points deducted due to the PSR breach. The first half was probably the best we have seen from the Reds, with good goals from Hudson-Odoi, Wood and Gibbs-White, who recreated the Forza...

A draw wasn't the result that we wanted, but was enough to pull the Reds out of the relegation zone on goal difference. It could have been so much worse as a tepid first half performance drew the ire of the fans, but the introduction of Gio Reyna on 60 minutes brought instant dividends, as the young American fed Morgan Gibbs-White, who in turn played it into the box where Chris Wood's clever heade...

At the end of a tempestuous week for Nottingham Forest Football Club, we take some time to reflect upon the four point deduction imposed by an independent commission and what impact it could have on the Reds' season, and indeed for the wider world of football (especially as Leicester are in trouble and Everton await their next punishment). Should Forest appeal? Has Nick De Marco KC done his job we...

It's been a big week for Nottingham Forest Football Club, as they digest the four point deduction handed down for breaching profit and sustainability regulations. We will have a special show at the weekend to discuss this in more depth, but in the meantime, here are this week's top five stories: Forest receive PSR points deduction Injury updates: Taiwo and Wood Forest need to sell to avoid future...

It was so near and yet so far for the Reds, as despite having the best chances, they only scored one goal, before the inevitable sucker punch when Luke Berry scored from (you guessed it) a set piece for Luton. Some fans were angry at the inability to take chances and also the substitutions made by Nuno, which left Forest with five at the back and no striker. Steven Toplis is joined by Tom Newton t...

Another disappointing result as Forest had chances, but failed to take them. The truth is, for all the grumbling about the referee not sending of Jakub Moder, the Reds could have played all day and not scored. George Edwards is joined by Adam and Tom Newton to discuss the game and the ref, and also Nuno's team selection and substitutions, which raised some eyebrows amongst the Forest supporters. T...

It's our Friday 5 show, in which we bring you the top stories coming from the City Ground this week. Rich Ferraro and The Maradona Of The Midlands discuss: Forest leaving the City Ground? Felipe definitely leaving the City Ground The club and Steven Reid receive FA charges after the Liverpool debacle Neco Williams is Forest's Player Of The Month Injury update - Boly and Sangare to return? The news...

It's the return of The Forest Ramble, our discussion podcast in which we cover the Reds' refereeing woes, the possibility of leaving the City Ground, and the issues around fan safety that have recently cropped up. We try and stay polite but the blood pressure was running a bit high on this one, which is already our 50th podcast of the season! In a show recorded just as Felipe was announcing his de...

For the second time in a few days, a promising display by the Reds but a controversial late winner - but the way that this one went in makes Wednesday's goal look just fine. In case you missed it, Forest were attacking the Liverpool area in stoppage time, when the ref stopped play for a head injury (hmmm) and erroneously gave the ball to the away team, stopping the Reds' attack and allowing Liverp...

A disappointing result as the Reds conceded a late goal to a set piece (again) to exit the FA Cup. In truth, Forest more than matched the visitors for much of the match, and even though United probably were the better team, the commitment and performance levels from the home team were good. As well as reporting on the game, Rich Ferraro and The Maradona of the Midlands also discuss the top five ne...

Forest lost away to an Aston Villa team who look exceptional under Unai Emery, but you could argue that the Reds were once again masters of their own downfall with poor defending leaving them 3-0 down before they even got going. Moussa Niakhate and Morgan Gibbs-White scored either side of the break to give hope to the visitors, but Villa took control again and scored a fourth after more poor defen...

After a week off, it's the return of the 1865 Friday 5, in which we bring you the top five stories coming out of the City Ground in the last seven days. Rich Ferraro presents, and is joined by the Maradona of the Midlands and Tom Newton to discuss: Mark Clattenburg joins Forest as an analyst City Ground redevelopment plans Joe Lolley interview Jon Fearn leaves his role as Head Physio Forest's AFCO...

Well, that felt good didn't it? A strong performance by the Reds at home to hapless West Ham was capped by a goal in stoppage time at the end of each half by Taiwo Awoniyi and Callum Hudson-Odoi respectively. Forest had much to be pleased about, and will only wish that they had scored the five or six goals that they threatened, with keeper Alphonse Areola the strongest player for the visitors. Baz...

Annoyingly, frustratingly and disappointingly, Forest's poor home form continues, as despite fighting back twice, poor defending cost them three goals and Newcastle took all three points. The big talking point was the penalty shout when Martin Dubravka clearly made contact with Taiwo Awoniyi in the area, but the ref didn't give anything and VAR chose not to ask him to have a look. George Edwards w...

It's the Friday 5, presented by Rich Ferraro, joined this week by Baz and Tom Newton. In this specially extended edition, we report on the FA Cup shoot out win over Bristol City, and the announcement of the Reds' 25-man squad for the rest of the season. As usual, Jamie Martin brings us the top five stories coming out of the City Ground this week: Joe Worrall leaves on loan Divock Origi's Forest fu...

A great goal by Callum Hudson-Odoi was the only real moment of quality in a scrappy game that was epitomised by Phillip Billing's red card for a nasty challenge on the Reds winger. Forest had conceded an early goal in a slow start, and after the late sending off, will feel that they should have got more from the game. Steven Toplis is joined by Adam after a long journey back from the south coast;...

A defeat that wasn't that surprising on paper, but was disappointing in practice as mistakes at the back (yes, including another one from Matt Turner) cost the Reds two goals. A glimmer of hope came with the return of Taiwo Awoniyi and Antony Elanga, but the former's late goal proved to be nothing more than a consolation. Baz is joined by Tom Newton for a discussion of the match - key topics inclu...

It wasn't exactly the most exciting game, but at least Forest kept their first clean sheet since Nuno Espirito Santo took charge. In reality, there wasn't really much for either keeper to do, with both Danilo and Callum Hudson-Odoi hitting the side netting, and Cameron Pring doing likewise for the hosts. It's back to the City Ground in ten days or so for a replay. Match report presented by Steven...

It was defeat for Forest on Ivan Toney Day, as Ivan Toney's Brentford came back from an early deficit to win the game, with returning hero Ivan Toney unprecedently getting Sky Sports' Player of the Match award before the game even started. In reality, Forest will be kicking themselves about two of the goals conceded, and it would be nice to have a game where we weren't talking about our goalkeeper...
