1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastNottingham Forest 2-2 Blackpool: The 1865 FA Cup Match ReportHmm. After the high of the victories over Newcastle and Man Utd, Forest were almost brought crashing down to earth when they fell two goals down at home to League One Blackpool in the first half an hour, with ex-Red Jordan Gabriel scoring the first (and refusing to celebrate).Fortunately Nico Dominguez headed home to make it 1-2 before half-time, and Morgan Gibbs-White's rocket in the second half saved the Reds from total embarrassment. Despite some chances, Forest will need a replay, disrupting the plans for a winter break.Steven Toplis is joined by Adam...2024-01-0832 min
1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastNottingham Forest 2-3 Bournemouth: The 1865 Premier League Match ReportThe headlines for Nuno's first game were dominated by the referee, who dropped an enormous clanger by sending off Willy Boly and then compounded it (alongside VAR) by not giving anything when Adam Smith handled the ball whilst in the area. Unfortunately the upshot is that, like last year, Forest gave up the lead at home to Bournemouth and ended up on the losing team.Steven Toplis hosts the discussion with Baz and Tom Newton, with the Reds' lack of defensive solidity and the goalkeeping conundrum as hot topics. Can ex-keeper Nuno make a difference? We also...2023-12-2450 min
1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastSteve Cooper sacked: 1865 Podcast SpecialFor our 25th podcast this season, we reflect upon the tenure of Steve Cooper, who was today sacked as Head Coach of Nottingham Forest. We discuss the highs of his time in charge, and why we loved him; we also think about the reasons why results have declined and what might have gone wrong.With Nuno Espirito Santo expected to be confirmed as the new Forest Manager, we talk about the potential reasons for his appointment, and what he might bring - we will have more on this later in the week, after his appointment is rubber-stamped.2023-12-2055 min
1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastWolverhampton Wanderers 1-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match ReportSteve Cooper went for seven first team changes to stop the rot, and to an extent it worked as the Reds showed a better level of performance and effort to gain a point - and it could have been three as Harry Toffolo should have added to his first-half header which would surely have seen Forest get the win.Steven Toplis is joined by Tom Newton to discuss a game which saw Cooper go back to basics, with the fans once again showing their love for the Head Coach. Rich Ferraro also chips in with his views...2023-12-1153 min
1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastFulham 5-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match ReportIt was nothing short of a disaster at Craven Cottage, as Forest produced arguably the worst performance of Steve Cooper's tenure, leaving the Head Coach looking nervously over his shoulder. Two goals each from Alex Iwobi and the Ghost of Raul Jimenez, plus a closer from Forest-supporting Tom Cairney, frankly embarrassed the Reds on a night with no redeeming features.George Edwards and Steven Toplis share their thoughts after a deep breath and a night's sleep. What does this display tell us about the commitment of the players? Do the Forest supporters really back Steve Cooper? And...2023-12-0844 min
1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastNottingham Forest 2-0 Aston Villa: The 1865 Premier League Match ReportIt was back to winning ways for Steve Cooper's Reds as goals from Ola Aina and Orel Mangala led to a welcome three points after what felt like a long time without a victory. The Head Coach and his players got most things right on the day, and although Villa probably weren't at their best, a combination of team and fans kept them at bay.Steven Toplis and Ellie Molloson discuss the game, the early goals and the return of a feelgood factor. We also hear from Neil from For The Love Of Paul McGrath with a...2023-11-0735 min
1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastLiverpool 3-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match ReportThe sporting weekend was overshadowed by the sudden and tragic death of Panthers forward Adam Johnson, and all of us here at 1865 send our condolences to Adam's nearest and dearest.On the pitch, Forest were very much second best and were never in danger of getting their first win at Anfield since 1969. 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. Two goals in four minutes put the Reds behind, with a comedy third conceded as...2023-10-3139 min
1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastManchester City 2-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match ReportAfter ten minutes it looked like this was going the way of last season's match at the Etihad; in fact when Forest conceded the first goal they hadn't even managed to string two passes together and barely had 10% possession. However, they did manage to regroup a bit to keep the score down, and the second half was a different proposition after Rodri's red card.Steve Cooper had mixed feelings, knowing that the Reds had given the Champions a two goal start, but despite the improved second half showing they didn't create enough chances. Our match report is...2023-09-2542 min
1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastArsenal 2-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match ReportIt was an opening day defeat at The Emirates, although a late rally from the Reds gave the home team a bit of a scare, when an electric break from Awoniyi and Elanga led to the big number 9 netting his first goal of the season.There's still work to do, as discussed by Steven Toplis, with George Edwards and Ellie Molloson, fresh back from north London. We also hear from Arsenal fan Chris, with his views on the game and what he thinks about Forest. We'll be back with a report after Friday's home match against Sheffield...2023-08-1456 min

1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastLiverpool 3-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match ReportForest huffed and puffed, but despite scoring twice away from home, it was Diogo Jota and Mo Salah who blew the Reds' house down, as defensive indiscipline from set pieces led to cheap goals conceded. Still, Neco Williams and Morgan Gibbs-White both scored deflected efforts to give the away fans some hope that there is some spirit in the Forest ranks.Steven Toplis and Tom Newton discuss the action after a day when Forest supporters showed solidarity with Hillsborough victims, survivors and their families. We are also joined by Harriet Prior from The Anfield Wrap, who provides...2023-04-2351 min
1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastFootball decisions: The 1865 Nottingham Forest Podcast, March 2023After looking in fine fettle, the last few weeks have seen Forest's form fall away. In this month's 1865 Forest Ramble:
The table is getting tighter and tighter - can the Reds beat the drop?
Has Forest’s January transfer business actually made the team weaker?
Why so many injuries?
All this and more, as we also have our regular sketch from Jeremy Davies, and we have another round of our Nottingham Forest quiz (and a surprising appearance from an early 90s indie band). Presented by Rich Ferraro, with Baz, the Maradona of the Midlands, To...2023-03-2459 min
1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastFulham 2-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match ReportForest were deservedly beaten by Marco Silva's Fulham, and despite a 20-minute period of pressure in the second half, can have no complaints about the result as the hosts offered far more threat in front of goal. The Reds were also hamstrung (ahem) by the loss of centre-halves Willy Boly and Scott McKenna after just five minutes.The Maradona of the Midlands is joined by Steven Toplis to discuss things from a Red perspective, and we also hear from Matt from Fulham Focus, providing a view from the home end.

1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastManchester United 2-0 Nottingham Forest (5-0 on aggregate): The 1865 Carabao Cup Match ReportThe result we dreamed of was overtaken by the result most likely, as Manchester United scored two quick goals in the last quarter of the game to well and truly put this tie to bed. Again, Forest put in a creditable performance, but United will feel as though they were in control.As well as the match, we also include a discussion about the Reds' deadline day transfer activity, as Shelvey, Felipe and Navas (and then Ayew) join the Forest ranks.

1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastBournemouth 1-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match ReportA late goal by sub Sam Surridge earned the Reds a share of the spoils away at Bournemouth. The hosts had taken a first half lead and although the Reds had a good number of efforts on goal, Ryan Yates' first half header was ruled out for an offside. Even when Surridge did equalise, VAR had to check for offside, but the former Bournemouth man's goal stood.The Maradona of the Midlands is joined by Steven Toplis to discuss the game, with a view from the home end provided by Jon Sparks from the Cherries Red Army...2023-01-2227 min
1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastBlackpool 4-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 FA Cup Match ReportEleven changes to the starting line-up and most of them underperformed as Forest crashed to a deserved FA Cup exit at the hands of Championship strugglers Blackpool. The Reds deservedly went behind but then had more than enough chances to put the game out of sight, before more defensive errors allowed the Seasiders to convincingly put the game to bed, and leave Steve Cooper absolutely fuming.Steven Toplis presents alongside Adam, who is fresh back from his disappointing day at the seaside. We'll be back with reports after Wednesday's Carabao Cup semi-final against Wolves; how many team...2023-01-0931 min
1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastNottingham Forest 1-1 Chelsea: The 1865 Premier League Match ReportIt felt a little bleak when Forest managed to concede yet another soft goal in the first half, but they came out fighting after the break to really take the game to Chelsea; Morgan Gibbs-White was unlucky with a 20 yard thunderbolt, and the number 10's corner caused havoc in the box, and Serge Aurier took advantage to score his first goal for the club. In the end, Forest were disappointed not to get the win which would have elevated them out of the drop zone.Steven Toplis is joined by a rather hoarse Tom Newton to review...2023-01-0235 min

1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastNottingham Forest 2-2 Brentford: The 1865 Premier League Match ReportA point gained, or two dropped? A late late own goal rescued a point for the Reds in a game laced with refereeing controversy - Steve Cooper said that either all the penalty claims should have been given, or none of them, and even the OG needed VAR to confirm whether or not there was an offside. Oof.Steven Toplis and Baz discuss Morgan Gibbs-White's first goal in a Red shirt; the penalties that were, and weren't given; and whether a draw at home to Brentford means that Forest are destined for the drop, or does a...2022-11-0639 min
1865: The Nottingham Forest PodcastBrighton and Hove Albion 0-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match ReportNot one for the neutrals, this game saw Forest finish with an XG of 0.13, as the hosts' inability in front of goal, coupled with some resolute defensive play from the Reds, saw Forest leave the Amex with a hard-fought point. 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

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
