1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace. THE PORTUGUESE PRINCE IS BACK! Well, that was the headline. Of course, it was *only* Bradford, but Forest fans will have taken real heart from the battling qualities, skill and guile shown by the young Reds in a match that was still a step up from what most of them will have experienced. Particular plaudits go to Fin Back and man of the match Tyrese Fornah, who was wonderfully humble in his post-match interview. The Maradona of the Midlands reports on a pleasing night as fans returned to the City Ground, and the Reds overcame injuries and nine minutes of stoppage time to hold out. Did we mention that Joao Carvalho scored twice? Like what you hear? Subscribe via your podcast provider, and please leave a review, as it helps other Forest supporters find our content.

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace. A disappointing start to the season as Coventry took the three points with a last gap goal. After a decent first 45 minutes, the Reds ran out of steam and paid the price for poor defending as they conceded first an equaliser, then a stoppage-time winner to a Coventry side buoyed on by their home fans. Tom Newton reports from the Coventry Building Society Arena, and then we are joined by Joey from Coventry podcast the Nii Lamptey Show, to dissect the action, and how much of a difference it made to have fans back in the ground.

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace. In case you hadn't noticed, the football season starts again this weekend. Following our series of Magic Moments, we ramp up the excitement by discussing: Can Dane Murphy's football background help him to succeed where others have failed? Should we be worried by Gaetan Bong still being in the squad, and do we have enough creativity? The return of the fans - we hear from friend of the pod Mark Dennison about going back to the City Ground For the first time this season, we welcome back our quiz, Guess That Red! Rich is joined by Steven Toplis, Baz, Tom Newton and the Maradona Of The Midlands - with special guest appearances from Second Tier Podcast's Ryan Dilks and FanHub's Russ Johnson.

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace. We begin our pre-season countdown by looking back at some of our favourite memories of following Forest through the years. These aren't necessarily great goals or great matches - just something that has stuck in our minds. In the last episode of the current run, the Maradona of the Midlands looks back at one of the great opening day performances by a young Reds team, as Paul Hart took over at the City Ground and the Reds played total football (and Marlon Harewood decked the linesman).

These aren't necessarily great goals or great matches - just something that has stuck in our minds. In this episode, we look back at a historic moment on a hungover New Year's Day in 1992. A match where more or less nothing happened, and Forest fans were leaving the ground, but then Sir Desmond Sinclair Walker scored his one and only goal in professional football. Like what you hear?

For Part 2 of our season review, Rich Ferraro is joined by regular contributors Steven Toplis, Baz and Tom Newton to discuss how we all feel about the season just passed (not good). Chris Hughton's prospects as Forest gaffer (not bad), the players who have made a difference, and the ones who haven't (can you guess?). We also discuss the second part of Nicholas Randall QC's interview with the Supporters' Trust, and play this season's final game of Guess That Red.

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. In Part 1 of our season review, we all agree that we wish that this season could be deleted from history. Hangover doesn't even begin to describe it. Rich Ferraro presents views from a number of guests, including Nottingham football journalist George Harbey, Second Tier podcaster Justin Peach, and a guest opinion from Stoke fan Jack Oulton, comparing the situations of two sleeping giants. Plus we get perspectives from a number of Forest supporters, including YouTuber Ben Dore, Pat from The Famous Club, and Reds fans Bethany and Kate. Part 2 of the podcast is coming up soon, in which we will discuss players, the manager, and the club's transfer policy (or lack of it). Like what you hear?

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. Saturday saw Forest travel to Hillsborough to take on relegation-threatened Sheffield Wednesday. With plenty at stake for the hosts, it was Forest who came closets to scoring, as Lewis Grabban saw his penalty saved by Kieren Westwood in first half injury time. Wednesday created chances in the second and forced a couple of saves from Brice Samba, but in truth neither team looked like carving out big goalscoring opportunities as the match finished goalless. The point takes Wednesday's survival battle into a final day showdown against Derby County, while Forest have their last game of the season at home to Preston to look forward to. We speak to Jamie from Sheffield Wednesday podcast Wednesday Til I Die about the match, the performances of the two sides and how Wednesday will get on their crunch clash next weekend.

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. The last time Forest hosted Stoke at The City Ground, the hosts saw their play-off hopes dashed by the Potters amid a dramatic evening on Trentside. This time, the match wasn't quite so eventful but Chris Hughton's side did enough to earn a draw and with it, secure Championship safety for next season. After Rabbi Matondo had put Stoke ahead in the first half, Lewis Grabban made up for an earlier miss by netting five minutes into the second period, latching on to a poor piece of defending to poke the ball home. Forest saw more of the ball and edged the game in chances created but had to settle for a point. We speak to Ben Rowley from Stoke podcast The YYY-Files about the game, the performances of Forest and Stoke, their attacking shortfalls and look at where the sides can take stock of this campaign and improve next season.

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. Forest were awful. Let's just get that out of the way. If Chris Hughton was annoyed on Saturday, he was fuming last night. Lee Bowyer was also fuming as Birmingham conceded a late late penalty, coolly and ably converted by Lewis Grabban, to rescue a barely-deserved point. We hear from Tom Newton with his thoughts on the match from a Red perspective, and are joined by Matthew Elliott from the We Are Birmingham podcast with his thoughts on the penalty, the referee, and Chris Hughton's Forest.

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. Forest made a bright start in this one, but failed to take advantage of a nervy-looking Huddersfield defence, and some of us had a feeling how things would go after that. The Reds then helped the Terriers, as James Garner's loose pass sent Aaron Rowe through on goal, and Anthony Knockaert also gave the ball away cheaply, allowing Juninho Bacuna to take a run and shot which powered past Brice Samba. Baz reports on this match, which saw Chris Hughton publicly admonish his players afterwards, warning that Forest are not yet safe from the drop. Like what you hear?

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. A special podcast, with two very special guests! Rich Ferraro is joined by Alex Noble and Arun Verma from BBC Radio Nottingham, telling us what it is like to be Reds fans talking about Forest on the radio. We discuss the pain and torment of covering the Stoke match last season, as Forest's play-off hopes went down the toilet; we find out their favourite football songs; we have a game of Guess That Red; and we have a quickfire round which inevitably ends up with Arun expressing his love for Joao Carvalho.

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. It was a goalless draw, and a fairly unexciting encounter between two teams now mired in mid-table obscurity - but what a relief for Reds fans to be able to say that after looking over their shoulders all season. Alex Mighten came closest for the visitors, hitting the post in the first half, before former Reds skipper Henri Lansbury returned the favour from the other end, with Brice Samba stranded. Erm, that's about it - neither keeper had much to do, and although Forest were probably the better team, Chris Hughton was disappointed not to have inflicted an eighth straight home defeat on City. Rich Ferraro is joined by Stanley Hughes from the One Stream In Bristol podcast, to dissect the match and wallow in the misery of lockdown football - we didn't even mention the annoying swimming pool noises over the Tannoy.

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. Get in touch to claim your exclusive FanHub Golden Ticket - but hurry as there are only a few left! Following on from their Good Friday victory at Cardiff City, Nottingham Forest hosted Queens Park Rangers on Easter Monday and rounded off the double-header by making it maximum points from their two Easter matches. A confident, attacking display from the Reds saw them comfortably see off Mark Warburton's Rangers, with goals from Alex Mighten, Lewis Grabban and James Garner securing the victory. Mighten's recent bright displays were rewarded with his close-range finish in the first half, while Grabban bagged his fourth of the season as he rifled home a curling drive from 25 yards before Garner rounded off the win. A late consolation for the visitors couldn't take off the shine as Chris Hughton's side put in a dominant display against the in-form Hoops to move 13 points clear of the relegation zone with six games of the season remaining. Steven reflects on an enjoyable Forest display and a level of Forest performance which provides optimism not just for the remainder of this season but for next season too. Like what you hear?

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. Get in touch to claim your exclusive FanHub Golden Ticket - but hurry as there are only a few left! Forest started their Easter programme in the perfect way as they secured a hard-fought victory away at playoff-chasing Cardiff City. On a glorious sunny afternoon in South Wales, James Garner rounded off a neat team move to score the only goal of the game and earn Chris Hughton's Reds all three points. The hosts had a few opportunities in the second half but Forest battled their way to the win and move 10 points clear of the Championship's bottom three in the process. We are joined by Ben Price from the View from the Ninian podcast to discuss events at the Cardiff City Stadium; in particular what Forest did so well on the day to keep Mick McCarthy's men quiet and where this result leaves the Bluebirds in their playoff chase.

You, the fans, have also been in touch; is it really possible that Joao Carvalho could come back to Forest next season, and could Forest actually make the top half of the table?

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. Get in touch to claim your exclusive FanHub Golden Ticket - but hurry as there are only a few left! Forest faced another match against one of the Championship top six as they travelled to West London to take on Brentford. The hosts took the lead through an Ivan Toney penalty early in the first half but Forest responded by dominating possession and were rewarded for a positive display just past the hour mark, as Filip Krovinovic netted his first goal for the club, slotting home after The Bees failed to clear Gaetan Bong's cross. For Chris Hughton's men, it was a case of a point well-deserved whilst Brentford were left to rue missed opportunities. We are joined by Robin Hood from the Beesotted Pride of West London Podcast to mull over events at the Brentford Community Stadium, looking at the performance of both sides, where Brentford's promotion hopes stand after this latest result and how Forest's prospects look for the remainder of the season.

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. Get in touch to claim your exclusive FanHub Golden Ticket - but hurry as there are only a few left! Another defeat at the hands of one of the top teams in the division - well, THE top team. Norwich tore the Reds to pieces, especially in the first half, and Chris Hughton admitted that Forest just didn't get close enough to their opponents. It was probably a surprise that the scoreline stayed at 0-2 after such a bad start to the match, but Forest did have opportunities, most notably for Ryan Yates and the hapless Lewis Grabban. We are joined by Norwich fan Tyrone Bradford, dissecting not just the match but also having an in-depth chat about Chris Hughton, footballing philosophies, and the importance of long-term strategic thinking (contrasting Norwich's stability and success with the inconsistencies and stop-start nature of life at the City Ground).

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. The Reds releasing their financial figures last week, and as expected there were significant losses, which was followed by the news of Football Index's demise leading to the loss of shirt sponsorship. Initial forecasts suggested that the Reds were likely to be mid-table in terms of expected losses, but with nearly £150 going out for every £100 coming in, is this sustainable? We were delighted to be joined by football finance expert Kieran Maguire to discuss wages, losses, the City Ground, and whether it is promotion or bust, especially with the effects of Coronavirus on Championship football.

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. Forest put in a creditable performance against Reading, but once again we discovered the difference a good striker can make. After Glenn Murray forced Tom Holmes to put through his own net (OG is now the Reds' joint top scorer), Reading were able to turn up the wick in the last twenty minutes. The irrepressible Lucas Joao (probably the best striker in the division this season) caused all kinds of problems, and eventually set up Yakou Meite. Somehow Brice Samba managed to dive out of the way and Reading were back in the game. Only one team were going to win after that, so a point was probably a good result for the Reds in the end. Baz reports on the match, and is joined by Alex from the Elm Park Royals podcast to dissect the match and the prospects for both teams this season. Like what you hear?

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first.

The Maradona of the Midlands gives his take on Forest's failure at Watford, and then Rich Ferraro is joined by Mike Duffy from the Voices of the Vic podcast, to get the view from the opposition; Mike is despondent about his own team, but is also surprised at how poor Forest are, particularly going forward.

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. A really disappointing night for the Reds, as they dominated proceedings for an hour, before the inevitable smash and grab. Forest had more than enough chances to win the match, with Anthony Knockaert once again threatening, and Simon Sluga making decent saves from Glenn Murray and James Garner, amongst others. Chris Hughton was his usual mild-mannered self after the match, but admitted to being disappointed. We hear from our correspondent Baz, and then Rich Ferraro is joined by Luton Town fan Ryan McCole, for a discussion about chances, saves, and Luton and Forest's hopes of mid-table obscurity.

Forest's upturn in form: the Reds could even have gone into the top half of the table at the weekend! Transfers and midfield magic: Garner! Cafu! Krovinovic! Knockaert!

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. Before the match many Reds fans would have taken a point, but after a dominant display, Forest were once again left to rue a lack of clear opportunities on goal. James Garner's first-half effort should have been saved by David Marshall, but after the goal the Reds were very much on top, until Colin Kazim-Richards found a second-half equaliser out of almost nowhere. After that it was frantic stuff and Derby will feel that they have the better chances, but Forest kept plugging away and retain the Brian Clough Trophy. Rich Ferraro is joined by the Maradona of the Midlands and special guests Cory and Jason from the Rams Review Podcast, to discuss the evening's big talking points. Like what you hear?

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. Forest made it back-to-back wins and clean sheets as they secured all three points at Rotherham. In a scrappy game played in blustery conditions, the Reds put a shift in on their way to victory, which moves them further away from the Championship drop zone. Ryan Yates replaced James Garner in the midfield and it was he who got the crucial breakthrough midway through the second half, turning the ball home after Rotherham failed to clear. There were some questions over whether he was onside and it looked like he might have got away with one! On a night where Forest were again guilty of missing a few opportunities, Yates and Cafu provided industry in the middle of the park, while at the back Joe Worrall and Toby Figuereido were impressive as they kept the Millers at bay. Matt from The Rotherham United Podcast joins us to discuss the game and we also hear the views of Baz, as he reflects on a well-earned three points in South Yorkshire. Like what you hear?

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. After a great, but pointless performance against Swansea midweek, Forest earned three points that they might not have deserved against Blackburn. In the end they were indebted to Brice Samba for saving Adam Armstrong's penalty, but it shouldn't have come to that - Samba and Knockaert didn't cover themselves in glory when they conceded the spot-kick. It's also worth noting that Forest did have more chances; Knockaert combined well with Murray and had an effort cleared off the line, the veteran striker also could have scored in the first half, and his replacement Lyle Taylor couldn't convert when Cyrus Christie's shot came back off the post. Armstrong had hit the post with a long-ranger in the first half as well, but the key intervention was Alex Mighten's deflected effort - it was a bit lucky, but if you don't shoot... Baz reports after a good three points for the Reds. Like what you hear? Subscribe via your podcast provider, and please leave a review, as it helps other Forest supporters find our content.

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. Forest travelled to high-flying Swansea looking to avenge their January FA Cup drubbing and put in a much-improved performance against the Swans. Lewis Grabban and Anthony Knockaert missed their opportunities to give the Reds the lead and, in the end, it was Forest who fell agonisingly to a late Connor Roberts header to return from South Wales empty handed. Steven is joined by Tom from TotalSwansTV to discuss the game, including the performance of Chris Hughton's side, the improvement since that FA Cup meeting a few weeks ago, the spurning of several key chances and examine if the match has been typical of the way Swansea have performed this season.

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. The headlines will say that Forest held Bournemouth, and the Cherries may well have been the better team, but the Reds actually came closest to taking the lead on more than one occasion. Rich and Baz discuss the game, including: defensive resolve; the impact of new signings Krovinovic, Garner and Murrary; the lack of substitutions from Chris Hughton - was this the right thing to do? Also we discuss how the Reds have quietly started to look more like a Championship team, after a disastrous first half of the season, and the symbolism of getting a point against a team in the top six - will this give the team a confidence boost ahead of a tricky away match at Swansea?

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. Forest were aiming to put more distance between themselves and the bottom three as they travelled to lowly Wycombe and Chris Hughton's side put in a commanding display to return from Adams Park with all three points. Glenn Murray caught the eye as he netted his first two goals in a Red shirt, the first an instinctive lob from just outside the penalty area and the second from the penalty spot after being felled in the area. Anthony Knockaert the scored the third as he tucked away Joe Lolley's ball into the box to wrap up a strong team performance. Steven reflects on the win that moves the Reds four points clear of danger and takes their recent run of form to just one defeat in the last 10, on an afternoon where Murray, Knockaert and James Garner all impressed and Lolley looked more like his old self.

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. After the heavy FA Cup exit at Swansea, Forest were looking to bounce back as they faced Barnsley at The City Ground. What followed was not a classic, as Chris Hughton's Reds picked up a point against a hard-working, energetic Tykes side. The vistors saw a big penalty shout waved away in the first half, while Lewis Grabban spurned a big chance that could've been the difference on the day. Baz speaks to Carlo from Barnsley podcast The Reds Report to mull over the events of the 90 minutes, including the performance of the two teams, the standard of officiating and look at how Forest and Barnsley will fare after this draw.

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. As 2020 turned into 2021, Forest embarked on a seven-match unbeaten run, pulling themselves away from the Championship relegation zone as well as progressing into the 4th Round of the FA Cup. However, two defeats in four days, including a disappointing cup exit at Swansea, have seen some concerns resurface. Rich Ferraro is joined by Steven Toplis, Baz and Tom Newton, where they discuss that heavy cup defeat in South Wales, a lack of streetwise smarts from the Reds and ask if Forest are suffering from a crisis of confidence. Also, the team looks into how Chris Hughton can turn the team's fortunes around and pick their moments that sum up Forest's season so far. Like what you hear?

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. The Reds' recent unbeaten run came to an end in disappointing fashion, as the level of performance rarely got out of first gear against a Middlesbrough team who used their Warnockisms to good effect. Despite Loic Mbe Soh's late goal, any faint glimmer of hope extinguished when Yuri Ribeiro lost his head (he wasn't the only one) and got a red card. We are joined by Phil Spencer from Bonkers For Boro to discuss mind games, performance levels and surly striker-skippers. Like what you hear?

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. Following successful FA Cup exploits the week before, Forest and Millwall returned to league action at The City Ground and it was the Reds who came out on top. They put in an impressive all-round team performance to secure a 3-1 win; two goals from Sammy Ameobi and one from Ryan Yates giving Forest a deserved three points. We are joined by Henry Morgan from Millwall fan podcast No-One Likes Us Talkin', to discuss the result, the performance of both the Reds and Lions and reflect on where the teams' fortunes are at the halfway point of the season.

An early goal from Lyle Taylor was just about the only goalmouth action in this tight affair between two teams who created little. However, there are signs that this is becoming a Chris Hughton team, with Joe Worrall and Scott McKenna looking strong at the back, although the midfield again lacked spark and creativity. We are joined by Ben Price from the View From The Ninian podcast, who offers his opinion on the similarities between the Bluebirds and the Reds, notably a lack of cutting edge; Ben predicts a season of mid-table safety/mediocrity (delete as applicable) for both teams.

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. Forest got their 2021 off to the best possible start by picking up a crucial 1-0 victory at Preston North End. Despite the home side hitting the bar twice, Forest put in a strong team display to return from Deepdale with all three points, courtesy of Lewis Grabban's second half penalty after Cafu's shot was blocked by a Preston hand. The win moves the Reds three points clear of the Championship drop zone and extends their unbeaten run to five matches. Manager Chris Hughton was understandably delighted with the result and in our match report, we reflect on a big three points gained on the road. Like what you hear?

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. After making it three games without defeat with the draw against Birmingham City on Boxing Day, Forest continued their Christmas programme with a Tuesday night trip to Stoke City. The Reds fell behind in the first half after some poor defending which seemed to sum up Forest's 2020 in a nutshell but fought back in the second, forcing an own goal to level the scores. Chris Hughton's team might even have claimed all three points had Cafu put away an opportunity that had been gifted to him by some generous home defending. We are joined by Dave from Stoke City fan podcast Wizards of Drivel to discuss the result, the performances of both Stoke and Forest and how the game was viewed by the Potters supporters.

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. Forest have been known to serve up their fair share of Boxing Day drama down the years. This year, however, was a different tale. The Reds saw a familiar face return to The City Ground in the form of ex-gaffer Aitor Karanka, now in charge of Birmingham City and the Spaniard saw his side head back across the Midlands with a clean sheet and a share of the spoils. The game wasn't a classic, with neither team looking likely to win it. Despite that, Forest did have some chances, most notably Ryan Yates and Tobias Figueiredo, who saw their efforts saved by Neil Etheridge. 26 years after a similarly uneventful Boxing Day stalemate, Rich Ferraro reflects as Forest were left to rue missed opportunities, after failing to put away a Blues team who were content with a point. Chris Hughton made some positive substitutions in the second half and he will have seen small signs of progress to build on as the New Year approaches. Like what you hear?

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first. After a really turbulent and difficult run of defeats, Forest have just managed to pull out a win and a draw to give us a faint glimmer of hope as we head into the Christmas period. However, even the opposition fans have been telling us that Forest aren't performing that badly, but conceding soft goals and failing to create chances isn't going to get you results. Rich Ferraro is joined by Steven Toplis, Baz and the Maradona Of The Midlands to discuss whether the bad results tell the whole story, and whether Chris Hughton needs more new players in the January transfer window. We also return to the impact of Covid - whether it has affected the unity of the squad and how much the Reds have missed having supporters in the stand. Like what you hear?

In the second of our long-form podcasts this week, we meet the Chair of the Nottingham Forest Supporters' Trust, Elliott Stanley, to discuss what the Trust are for, what they do, and how they interact with the club. We also speak to founder member Tom Newton, to hear how the whole thing started, at a time when fans felt alienated during the Fawaz regime. Elliott and Tom tell us about what the Trust can and cannot do, and respond to accusations from some fans that the Trust is simply a mouthpiece for the club. Like what you hear?

In this special podcast, we speak to Bethany Didsbury who received a shirt from Nottingham Forest in recognition of her contribution to the NFFC Tricky Hub. Beth candidly discusses her story, from spotting the club's "It's Tricky To Talk" campaign, and plucking up the courage to visit the Tricky Hub. You can read Beth's story on her blog. We hear from Beth about the work of the NFFC Community Trust in supporting fans with mental health disorders and illnesses; although the campaign was targeted towards men (who may otherwise suffer in silence), they welcome everyone. We also hear how the work of the Community Trust has adapted to Covid restrictions. Like what you hear?

After both sides got their first victory in ages in midweek, it was important to pick up another result straightaway; while the Reds might not have got three points, they showed some of the fight and desire that was missing earlier in the season. Alex Mighten's first senior goal was a good reward, despite the concession of another soft goal. We are joined by Henry Morgan from Millwall fan podcast No-One Likes Us Talkin', to discuss the result, the performances, and to continue the ongoing debate about how much the players miss the fans.

Three points? Remember them? A good night for Forest, albeit against the worst team in the division. An early goal from Yuri Ribeiro and a (controversial) late one from the returning Lewis Grabban secured a much-needed victory for the Reds after an awful run of defeats. Baz reports on a night where Alex Mighten and Loic Mbe Soh finally started, and Cafu exerted some forward-facing impetus. Let's not get carried away, but we hope that the team, the manager and the fans can feel a little more positive before visiting an empty Den on Saturday. Like what you hear?

Another match, another defeat. The results are awful, and some fans are laying the blame at whoever they can - players, managers, CEO/owner, each other. However, after an awful first half (and another cheap goal conceded), Forest actually gave Brentford something to think about, just as they did against Norwich and Watford. You might not believe it, but there are signs of life. We were once again asked to appear on Talksport2 to share our thoughts about the situation at the City Ground, and we are also joined by Billy Grant from Brentford podcast Beesotted, for a review of the match and a summary of Forest's hopes for the rest of the season.
