1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast

A welcome three points, and five goals in two matches, as Forest beat Brighton with a battling second-half performance, showing that Forest are magic on and off the pitch. Despite missing a first half penalty and conceding another soft goal, Forest drew level in first half stoppage time through Pascal Gross' own goal, and this set them up to win through Danilo and Morgan Gibbs-White (with the second penalty of the match). Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to talk tactics, formations and injuries, as well as Steve Cooper's post-match words, and the influence of the City Ground crowd (who were LOUD in the second half). Callum Castel also joins us with a news roundup, and finally, we announce our new partnership with Football Prizes - check our social media for more.

Forest 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 a view from the opposition.

The billionaires of Manchester United beat Nottingham Forest as £100m Antony and £80m Casemiro shone for the visitors. It was the Brazilian winger who took the headlines as he scored one and made one, and provided threat from the wing, while £70m Bruno Fernandes also peppered the Forest goal. At least £50m Antony Martial and £80m Harry Maguire had to sing for their supper, with the England defender fortunate not to concede a penalty which VAR saw, but decided not to give. Rich Ferraro and Baz dissect the action and the talking points, including game plans, formations and injuries, the VAR call and the future of Steve Cooper. We are also joined by Man United fan Steven Barnes who provides a view from the opposition.

A change in formation and personnel, but the same old result. Following a reasonable showing in the first half, a moment of madness from Jonjo Shelvey gifted a goal to Bertrand Traore. The Reds (yellows) were up against it from that moment on; substitutions were unsuccessful, and the misery was compounded when Forest went down to ten men after using all their subs. Ollie Watkins sealed the result in stoppage time. Steven and Tom discuss the match after getting home from Villa Park, and having a night to sleep on it. Naturally, they discuss the pressure on the manager, and the performance of some of the team, and the effects of injuries as we lose Kouyate and Niakhate again. We also get a view from the opposition, as we are joined by Neil from For The Love Of Paul McGrath.

Forest took an early lead at Elland Road but after that never really laid a glove on a resurgent Leeds side. Orel Mangala's well-taken goal gave the travelling fans some hope, but Jack Harrison's soft equaliser and Luis Sinisterra's curler ensured that the hosts had the lead at the break. The Reds shuffled things around but couldn't make an impression, leaving Steve Cooper eight games without a win. Rich discusses the game with Steven, who is fresh back from Leeds, and apart from the match action, the conversation is dominated by the Head Coach's future - we report on the statement by Evangelos Marinakis and speculate on what this could mean for the rest of the season and beyond.

A late equaliser from Daniel Podence made a good performance feel like a disappointing result, as Forest failed to capitalise on their chances and take all the points. Brennan Johnson's first half goal gave the Reds the advantage, but it could have been more, especially when Emmanuel Dennis failed to square to Morgan Gibbs-White in the second half. Rich and Baz discuss a feisty encounter, touchline bust-ups and ask the eternal question of "what the hell is VAR for?". We also consider Steve Cooper's tenure on a day when the City Ground faithful showed enormous support for the Head Coach as rumours swirl about his job security. It looks like Forest are going to need to buck their away form - we'll be back after the Leeds and Villa games, Subscribe to 1865 via your podcast provider, and please leave a review, as it helps other Forest supporters find our content: Apple - Spotify - YouTube - Google. Join us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or TikTok. 1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is part of the Sports Social Network, and partnered with FanHub.

After 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, Tom Newton, Steven Toplis, and Adam.  Subscribe to 1865 via your podcast provider, and please leave a review, as it helps other Forest supporters find our content: Apple - Spotify - YouTube - Google. Join us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or TikTok. 1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is part of the Sports Social Network, and partnered with FanHub.

A stoppage-time penalty from Alexander Isak saw the Reds fall to their first home defeat since October, and record consecutive Premier League defeats. Emmanuel Dennis had given Forest the lead with an expert finish before Isak scored his first at the end of the first half. There was also time for another curious VAR call in the home team's favour, before Moussa Niakhaté's mistake gave Isak his chance to seal the win. Rich and Steven discuss the game, with expert analysis from Beth of Newcastle Fan TV, and our very own Adam. We are also joined by Callum with the latest Forest news, and take some time to dissect what Forest need to do after the international break, as things look a bit bleak right now.
