Talking Reds: a Nottingham Forest podcast

Forest left it late—but when they came alive, they blew Burnley away. Join Greg Oram, Richard Spray and Bruce Johnstone tonight at 8pm as we break down a game of two completely different halves at the City Ground. A lifeless, frustrating first 45… A response full of urgency, intensity, and belief after the break… And then — Morgan Gibbs-White takes over. A stunning hat-trick. A statement performan...

Under the lights at the City Ground, Nottingham Forest edged through—just. A 1–0 win over FC Porto, decided by Morgan Gibbs-White, but shaped by an early red card and a second half that refused to settle. Forest had control. Then doubt crept in. Ten-man Porto pushed, the nerves followed, and what should have been comfort became tension. But this side—Vitor Pereira’s side—found a way again. Semi-fi...

Tomorrow night it’s the second leg at the City Ground — and it’s perfectly set at 1–1 after the first leg away at FC Porto. This is properly in the balance.

We’ll look at the tactical side under Vítor Pereira, the areas Porto caused pr...

A point on the board — but it doesn’t tell the full story.

There were spells of control, periods of resistance, and a result that can be viewed in more than one way depending on how you read it. At 1pm, Greg and Richard a...

Forest 0–0 Fulham | Missed Chances Again Nottingham Forest were held to a 0–0 draw with Fulham at the City Ground, and once again the key issue was clear — Forest created chances but couldn’t convert them.
