1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast1865 kit bag: Podcast Extra, July 2025While the gossip and transfer rumours circulate, we offer an antidote to all of that, and possibly one for the kit nerds, as Tom Newton meets Mark Green (@nottmforestshirts on Instagram), an avid Reds fan and a collector of Forest shirts home and away over the last 40-something years.
Tom and Mark discuss what makes a good home shirt - is it a bad thing to have black on there ? What is the classic away colour for Forest - white or yellow? How much does the sponsor make the shirt, and do we revise our opinions of...2025-07-151h 02

1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastTottenham Hotspur 1-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match ReportIt was a much needed win for Nottingham Forest that took them back to third in the table, as the race for the Champions' League gets ever tighter. Early goals from Elliot Anderson and Chris Wood took the Reds into a half-time lead, but in truth, Nuno's substitutions didn't really work, and Forest were under the cosh for the last half an hour. Richarlison did get a late goal, but first Matz Sels made two great saves from the Brazilian, and Harry Toffolo made an incredible clearance off the line.Your match report is...2025-04-2235 min

1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastNottingham Forest 1-0 Man United: The 1865 Match Report, April 2025Forest have done the double over Manchester United for the first time since 1992BC (Brian Clough). Anthony Elanga's superb solo goal after just five minutes gave us the lead, and Murillo's goal line clearance at the death kept it for us. In between Man United played well but had little threat as Forest's hard work and tactical guile pretty much kept them at bay.Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to talk about the match and they are joined by Man United fan Ste Barnes to share the view from the opposition.

The Reds once again went through extra-time and penalties, and once again came out victorious as skipper Ryan Yates tucked away the last spot kick and sent Forest into the FA Cup semi-final, to play Manchester City.The match itself was not big on chances, but in truth Forest were the better team and mostly in control, although extra time had a few hairy moments. Then, despite Neco Williams' miss, Matz Sels, the captain, as well as Anderson, Hudson-Odoi and Milenković did the rest. Rich Ferraro is joined b...2025-03-3140 min

1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastNewcastle Utd 4-3 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report, Feb 2025It was a first half horror show from the Reds as, despite taking an early lead, they meekly conceded four goals to Newcastle in 45 minutes to forget. The second half was much better as the hosts dropped off and Forest regained some fight, and Nikola Milenković and a late Ryan Yates effort at least reflected the team's efforts to try and rescue the game.In our match report, the Maradona of the Midlands talks to Tom Newton who endured a long afternoon and a difficult journey home.

A second-string Forest team were given a scare by League One Exeter, who scored an early goal in each half to hold the Reds to a draw after extra time. Despite Ibrahim Sangaré assisting both Ramón Sosa and Taiwo Awoniyi in the first half, Forest failed to create enough chances and had to bring some of the big guns off the bench. The match was held up by lengthy treatment for Awoniyi's head injury (thankfully he will be ok), and in the end, Premier League class showed in the penalty shoot-out as Wo...2025-02-1336 min

Frank Clark’s side, who had just been promoted from Division One, took the Premier League by storm, sweeping teams aside with their counter-attacking prowess led by the likes of Stan Collymore, Bryan Roy, Steve Stone and Lars Bohinen. It was a season to remember as Forest mounted a title charge (sound familiar?!) and we tell the story of it all here.30 years on, Steven Toplis and Tom Newton look back on that season in this 1865 Podcast Special.

Things got off to a flyer with Chris Wood's early strike, and Forest held their own until sub Diogo Jota scored with his first touch. Forest then had to show true grit and resilience (and some great saves from Matz Sels) to earn the point on a night that left players and fans exhausted.Our match report is brought to you by The Maradona Of...2025-01-1635 min

1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastManchester City 3-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match ReportLike the Arsenal match, Forest were well-beaten in this one, but unlike that game, it could have felt a bit different if Forest had taken their chances at some crucial moments. Alas, it was not to be, and don't be fooled by Man City's recent form - with de Bruyne in the team they are still very much part of the Premier League elite.Rich is joined by Adam for a report from behind enemy lines, as goals from Bernardo Silva, de Bruyne and Doku settled this encounter and the Reds were tactically sewn...2024-12-0633 min

Ultimately the best team won and after the Chelsea-Arsenal game, the Reds moved down to fifth in a very tight Premier League table.It was a real shame for Murillo who finally scored his first Forest goal, but Newcastle played Forest at their own game and took their chances well.

1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastNottingham Forest 1-1 AFC Bournemouth: The 1865 Match ReportIt 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 being stretchered off.

It started badly when Steve Cooper confirmed that Chris Wood would be injured for a few weeks, just as he was coming into form, and Forest had no recognised attackers.

In truth, Dean Henderson only had to make one or two decent saves, and Leandro Trossard's effort hit the bar, so Roberto de Zerbi's men really should have made more of their territorial advantage.Steven Toplis and Tom Newton discuss a game which saw Forest's only real shot go out for a throw-in; Scott from We Are...2022-10-1937 min

Nottingham Forest's transfer window saw new players arrive at the very beginning (Keinan Davis, Steve Cook), middle (Richie Laryea) and end (Sam Surridge and Jonathan Panzo). Just as importantly a number of players left, including Joao Carvalho, Lyle Taylor and Carl Jenkinson, along with more recent acquisitions Rodrigo Ely and Mo Drager. However, the highest profile transfer activity was the retention of Brennan Johnson, with the Reds resisting a big money offer from Brentford, and also Djed Spence for the rest of the season.2022-02-0647 min

Jordan Hugill was given the freedom of the Reds' half after just six minutes and made no mistake, and more lax defending in the second half saw sub Isaak Davies score a second goal after the hour mark. Realistically, the match was over, although a late chance for Xande Silva and a stoppage-time consolation from Keinan Davis offered brief glimmers of hope.2022-01-3129 min

It has been an awful start to the season for Nottingham Forest, with an equally crazy transfer window. We are here to discuss transfers and the conspiracy theory that the players we have signed are more suitable for a back three with wing backs. Did someone say Chris Wilder?
