Talking Reds: a Nottingham Forest podcast

Forest face Wolves in what feels like one of the biggest nights of the season. After the defeat at Leeds, the pressure has grown and the table is tightening. Wolves sit at the bottom, but that only adds to the tension — because these are exactly the games that define whether you stay up or get dragged into a real fight. No glamour. No distractions. Just a must-win at the City Ground. Greg is joine...

Forest went in front through Morgan Gibbs-White, but the game turned just before half-time when Neco Williams was sent off for a goal-line handball, bringing Palace level from the penalty spot. Reduced to ten men for the entire second half, Forest didn’t simply cling on — they stayed compact, carried a threat on the break, and looked capable of nicking it late. Greg Oram & Richard Spray are joined...

Greg Oram and Richard Spray welcomed Paul Morley for this one. Forest are in season four since their return to the top flight and in that time have been able to beat every member of the so-called top six on numerous occasions, including the Gunners in that famous 1-0 victory that secured survival in season one. Since then, contests between these two huge clubs have generally favoured the Londoners...

It was a game that was definitely must-not-lose but more than that it really had to be must-win. And win they did. It wasn’t pretty – in fact at times it was darn ugly but Nottingham Forest bucked their trend and came back from a goal down to win by two goals to one at the London Stadium against Nuno’s West Ham… Over the next hour we’ll unpack the key talking points – and there were a few to say t...

The Monday night football and Forest go to Fulham and lose… In other news, the Pope is Catholic, the sun is hot and water is wet… Forest’s lack of consistency may well be their undoing this season as they conspired to lose a drab 0-0 affair 1-0. A chance missed to go above the Cottagers in the table and a place in 17th confirmed for Christmas. Reviews are never much fun when we lose, but we’ll do...
