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

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.

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 Liverpool to pile on the pressure, which ended in Darwin Nunez's goal.A very angry Steven Toplis is joined by a "f***ing furious"...2024-03-0344 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

A bad day for Forest at Cardiff as they failed to turn up, conceding a cheap early goal and never really recovering. 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's a bit of a shock to the system to lose two matches in a row after the run that Forest have been on since Chris Hughton left, but a Covid-disrupted Reds team will feel that they should have got at least a point, and probably three, out of this one - they certainly had enough chances.

West Brom huffed and puffed and occasionally got in behind the Forest backline, but they offered little upfront and Brice Samba only had one notable save to make.

It all boils down to composure; Knockaert could have done better with his first half effort, and all over the pitch, the Forest players seemed to want an extra half-second or another touch. After a reasonable first month at the helm, Chris...2020-11-2905 min
1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastForest fruitless against the Cherries: AFC Bournemouth 2-0 Nottingham Forest - The 1865 Forest Ramble PodcastWe all knew this would be a tough night for the Reds, and so it proved, with Bournemouth proving to be slick, composed and superior in many departments. Forest weren't entirely hopeless, but the concession of soft goals at the start of each half gave them too much to do, and even when Bournemouth took their foot off the gas, the Reds struggled to test Asmir Begovic in the Cherries' goal.
The Maradona Of The Midlands reports on a harsh lesson for Chris Hughton's men, which only proved to demonstrate that there is a lot of work...2020-11-2506 min
1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastMissed chances: Barnsley 2-0 Nottingham Forest - The 1865 Forest Ramble PodcastA decent away performance from Forest, but they left with nothing after two late goals gave Barnsley the points. Both teams had plenty of opportunities to wrap up the game, with Barnsley hitting the woodwork three times and Jak Walton earning his money to outfox Miguel Guerrero and deny Lyle Taylor.
We are joined by Carlo from the Barnsley podcast The Reds Report (@RedsReport_), to look back over the key moments in the game, including missed chances, substitutions and teamwork. We also discuss both teams' prospects for the rest of the season, including Carlo's thoughts about Chris H...2020-11-2207 min
1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastOut of jail: Nottingham Forest 2-1 Coventry City - The 1865 Forest Ramble PodcastPhew. Bloody hell. We didn't deserve that did we? Obviously Forest fans were concentrating more on the Reds' fortune than the Sky Blues' pain, but having taken a deserved first-half lead, Forest really played poorly in the second period, allowing Coventry to take control and almost take the points.
A draw would have been more than we deserved, but luckily Forest had two players who kept playing until the very end - Joe Lolley's throughball set Lyle Taylor away, and he drew the foul. Of course, there are few cooler customers than Taylor when it comes to...2020-11-0505 min
1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastPlaying catch-up: Middlesbrough 1-0 Nottingham Forest - The 1865 Forest Ramble PodcastIf Chris Hughton’s first job was to steady the ship, this match shows that there has been some progress but there is still a lot of work to do, especially in the opposition half.
There were never going to be too many chances in this match, but Forest really struggled in the second half against a Boro side with a four-month head start on them, in terms of organisation, playing culture and style. Hughton is obviously working on Forest’s soft centre, but there is still more to be done, and the next problem is to get t...2020-11-0105 min
1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastReds' endeavour: Luton Town 1-1 Nottingham Forest - The 1865 Forest Ramble PodcastAt half-time it looked a bit bleak, and a few Forest fans were rather despondent as the Reds were a goal down and a man down. Whatever the arguments about Nicolas Ioannou's red card, the inescapable fact was that Forest were down to ten men and would need to find a way to get a result. There were also a few wags commenting that Forest players couldn't see each other in the grey camo kit...
It was rather pleasing to know that Forest could find a level of performance and resilience that was lacking over the last...2020-10-2905 min
1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastIt's a Knockaert: Nottingham Forest 1-1 Derby County - The 1865 Forest Ramble PodcastOn the face of it, it was a fair result, but Derby weren't happy after their disallowed goal, which stole the headlines. In truth, the Rams were probably the better team for most of the first half, and the latter stages of the second, but Forest did plug away and deservedly drew level when the excellent Lyle Taylor showed a real striker's instinct (and real eloquence in his post-match interview).
Chris Hughton acknowledged that the performance mirrored that against Rotherham, but the talking point for Reds fans was 4-4-2. Grabban and Taylor were paired together in...2020-10-2430 min
