Talking Reds: a Nottingham Forest podcast

Nottingham Forest continued their European campaign with a hard-fought 2–1 away win over Utrecht, showing resilience, discipline, and growing maturity on the road. In this episode of Talking Reds, we break down the key moments, standout performances, and tactical takeaways from last night’s victory — what worked, what still needs sharpening, and what it tells us about Forest’s direction. We then t...

Hosted by Greg Oram with Richard Spray and on the panel it’s Danscape and Raf, The Random Pundit. Forest are off to Utrecht — near the bottom of the Europa league table and struggling for form — making this is the ideal moment for Dyche to rotate the squad. With injuries stacking up and Sangaré about to head to AFCON, we’re expecting big minutes for the fringe boys: Abbott, McAtee, Bakwa, and Kali...

It was a terrible 3-0 defeat for The Reds away at Hill Dickinson Stadium and to be honest, none of us much felt like talking about it for an hour. Greg and Richard with the help of Danscape, Raf, Steve, Bruce, Jamie and Ross bring you the frustrations of all Forest fans in this mini review. Learn more about your ad choices.

Forest go to Molineux, stay organised, stay switched on, and nick it 1–0 — and, seeing Igor Jesus get his first Premier League goal felt massive for him and for the club. We’re going to get into all of it today: the performance, the discipline, the little patterns that are starting to show… and of course what that goal might mean for Igor from here. And then we look ahead to Everton on Saturday —...

It’s a big week ahead for Forest — a midweek premier league match under the lights, another away day, and this time it’s a trip to Molineux to face Wolves. There’s always something about those fixtures where you feel anything can happen, and Forest fans will be travelling with that mix of hope, nerves, and absolute belief that we will come away with all three points. Wolves are yet to win at all t...

Host Greg Oram is joined by Mark Turner and Ross Taylor. Forest have just slumped to a 2–0 home defeat to Brighton — a really disappointing one, especially after the optimism we’ve been building in recent weeks. It was a flat, disjointed display, we struggled to create, and Brighton punished the moments we switched off. We’re diving into all of it — the key moments, the concerns, and where Forest...

H osted by Greg Oram and Richard Spary. Joining us we have Raf, the Random Pundit and the Statman, Danscape! It was a night of nostalgia and celebration and any thought of the game itself becoming a damp squib was comprehensively put to bed as Nottingham Forest dominated their Swedish opponents to run out 3-0 winners. In truth it could and should have been more as the gulf in class between the two...

Hosted by Greg Oram and Richard Spary. Joining us we have the Statman, Danscape! Following the demolition of Liverpool just a few days ago all eyes are now back on the European campaign and the visit of Malmo to the City Ground on Thursday night. A fixture that carries sentiment and nostalgia as the club and fans will of course reflect on that famous victory over the Swedes in the 1979 European Cu...

Forest travel to Anfield and come away with a all the points! To go there and not only win for the second consecutive year in a row but to actually put Liverpool to the sword and come away 3-0 winners is something that will go down in history and must now surely again be the ultimate turning point again for Forest this season. Sit back for our review of the thriller on Merseyside, hosted by Greg O...

The September international break saw Nuno sacked and the October international break was effectively the end of Ange. It’s definitely a different story as we come off the back of the November international break with what certainly feels like a more calm and settled atmosphere at Nottingham Forest with the rocky rapids of the first quarter of the season now well and truly behind them. Less player...

We’ll do our best to give you our opinions on things like a possible formation switch, to who Forest should sign in the January window, to how Sean Dyche keeps Mr Marinakis happy… If you’re w...

Nottingham Forest hosted Leeds United at The City Ground today in what many described as a must-win match for The Reds! Forest showed a discipline and belief that’s growing steadily under Sean Dyche — it’s not just about heart, but about structure, precision and each player taking responsibility and putting in the kind of shift that reminds you why we love this club. We’ve waited weeks for this fe...

With us on the panel we’re joined by The Statman, Danscape and Raf, The Random Pundit… It was another frustrating night for Nottingham Forest as the away day in Europe at Sturm Graz of Austria petered out to a flat nil nil draw.

Good morning and welcome back to Talking Reds — where the caffeine is strong, the opinions are stronger, and the post-match hangover for many of our friends we met in the Nav, is even bloody stronger! Today we’re unpacking the big match from yesterday at The City Ground, as Nottingham Forest pulled off a second-half blitz only for Manchester United to strike back with a thunderous volley and grab...

Sharpening his facts and data like blades — ‘The Stab Man’, Danscape! Muttering prophecies from beyond reason — Raf The Raging Psycho! And presiding over this twisted circus of terror… with a painted grin wide and wild, Greg Oram — The Clown of Chaos! As the mist crawls over the Trent like a living thing, and the City Ground stands there — hulking, ancient — a cathedral of noise and fear. You can...

Greg Oram and joining me on the panel it’s The Stat Man, Danscape and Raf, The Random Pundit… Nottingham Forest travel to Bournemouth and lose. In other news, water is wet and the sun is hot… The flames of elation from the win versus Porto were quickly extinguished as Forest failed to fire and the most predictable result on your betting slip dropped in to place. A tepid first half didn’t get much...

“It’s a start and it’s a good start”. Those were the words of a delighted Sean Dyche following the superb victory over FC Porto in the Europa League last night. Forest rolled the Dyche and in his first match came up with a two and a zero in favour of The Reds! In the next hour, we’ll talk about Sean Dyche's first win as Forest’s Head Coach and also squeeze in a look ahead to the trip to Bournemout...

Nottingham Forest have announced the appointment of Sean Dyche as the Club’s new Head Coach and as expected he will be joined by his experienced coaching team of Ian Woan and Steve Stone — both former Nottingham Forest players who together made more than 400 appearances for the Reds during the 1990s.

Hosted by Greg Oram. & Richard Spray. On the panel, we're joined by Steve Battlemuch, Ross Taylor and Jamie Tatler.. In a reign that was shorter than the time it takes to explain VAR to your dad, Evangelos Marinakis acted swiftly and ruthlessly within 19 minutes of the final whistle of Forest’s 3-0 home defeat to Chelsea to bring to an end the failed experiment of Big Ange at Forest. The shortest...

Hosted by Greg Oram & Richard Spray! Joining us on the panel we have The Statman, Danscape and Raf The Random Pundit. A rest is as good as a break they say. Or is it a break is as good as a rest? Either way, Forest have had the benefit of a rest over the international break and all the talk has continued to be about the manager’s position and the candidates waiting in the wings… We’ll chip in with...
