"Sod this, I'm going to shoot!" Nottingham Forest 1-1 Aston Villa: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 15:16:00 -0000

Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - watch or listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - watch on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Overall you would have to say that was a good point against an Aston Villa team who create a lot of problems, and will feel that they should have scored more than one goal, with Watkins and Rogers converting in the rugby sense, rather than netting.

Forest were thankful to Neco Williams who had been told to shoot more, and could have had more than one, and also for the return to Premier League action for Chris Wood, who made an immediate impression, not just in chance creation but also improving the shape and effectiveness of the team.

The Maradona of the Midlands is joined by Baz to report on the game, with a view from the opposition by Neil from YouTube channel For The Love of Paul McGrath.

HOT TO GO? FC Porto 1-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 European Match Report, April 2026

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 15:14:00 -0000

On a warm evening on the banks of the Douro, Forest got off to a torrid start, and could have conceded three before Porto took a 10th minute lead. Fortunately the hosts were in a generous mood and gifted an equaliser to the Reds with a comical 40 yard own goal.

After the first 20 mins or so, Forest settled down, and achieved more stability especially in defence. While the visitors rarely threatened, there was an intriguing moment in the second half when Igor Jesus had a goal disallowed by VAR after colliding with Porto custodian Diogo Costa.

George, Tom and friends report LIVE from the Estadio de Dragao, as they wait to be released from the away end. We'll be back on Sunday after the return to Premier League action against fellow Europa hopefuls Aston Villa.

We also ask our panellists to "Explain it like I'm five", with topics covering squad cost rules, Forest's accounts and the lack of a sporting sanction for Chelsea.

Part 2 will be in your feeds shortly, in which we hear more from Adam Summerton, enjoy a quickfire round, and hear the latest Football Terrorists sketch from Jeremy Davies.

Two weeks ago, things were looking a little bleak for Reds fans, but after victories over FC Midtjylland and Tottenham Hotspur, things are looking up, all based upon Vítor Pereira's "family" philosophy.

Rich is joined by Steve Burns to discuss progress under Pereira, the Women's team's weekend victory and Reds on international duty. We are taking a little breather now but will be back at the Easter weekend.

That went better than any of us could have expected, didn't it? Although it felt a bit stressful in the first half, Forest took control in the second period, adding to Igor Jesus' header just before the break with strikes from Morgan Gibbs-White and Taiwo Awoniyi.

Tom Newton joins Rich Ferraro to discuss the view from the away end, the Reds' spirit and togetherness, and whether Spurs are the new favourites for the drop in a very congested bottom six. We'll be back with YATESY'S ESPRESSO BAR in midweek, to digest this result and the Women's return to winning ways in WSL2.

THE QUARTER FINALS AWAIT! FC Midtjylland 1-2 Nottingham Forest (2-2 on aggregate, 0-3 on pens): The 1865 European Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 08:46:00 -0000

Football eh? Bloody hell. Forest came out of the blocks on a night where the second string finally came of age, and the first half had a familiar feel to it until Nico Domínguez looped a header into the top corner to bring Forest level on aggregate.

Ryan Yates scored a belter early in the second half, before the hosts equalised. The skipper almost capped off an outstanding performance by scoring the winner in the very last minute of extra time, but was denied by the offside flag.

Penalties it was, and in an extraordinary turn of events, the Danes MISSED all three of their spot kicks, while MGW, Sangaré and Williams slotted home, to book a place against Porto in the next phase. Rich and a hoarse George try to cram in all the action.

TIME FOR T? Nottingham Forest 0-0 Fulham: The 1865 Match Report, 15th March 2026

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 21:37:00 -0000

Forest climbed back out of the drop zone on goal difference after West Ham briefly overtook them. Although they once again failed to score, Vitor Pereira said that he was satisfied with the spirit and effort against Fulham. The Reds were unlucky that Dan Ndoye was inches offside before beating Bernd Leno in a one-on-one, and also that Ola Aina's volley came back off the bar.

Rich is joined by Katie to discuss the game, team selection and what works for Forest. We are grateful to Dylan from Fulham Focus for providing a view from the opposition.

Drenched, dishevelled and defeated: Nottingham Forest 0-1 FC Midtjylland - The 1865 European Match Report, 12th March 2026

It was another miserable night for the Reds who played ok for the most part, but lack any kind of quality in front of goal. To make matters worse, much of the City Ground crowd had to endure biblical rainfall and ended up going home very wet, very cold and very disappointed.

Baz and Tom have got home and dried off, and discuss the main talking points. We'll be back after the Fulham game, which as Tom says, will be another 0-0 that we will manage to lose.

Passing the sniff test: FOOTBALL TERRORISTS Part 1, 8th March 2026

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 09:30:00 -0000

As it is a rare break for the busy Reds, we take the time for another round of FOOTBALL TERRORISTS, the roundup/game show from your friends at 1865.

In Part 1, we play a new game called "(On)going, going, gone", in which our panellists explain why we are still talking about Nuno, Edu and Dyche. We also discuss why Sean Dyche was wrong.

We also report some sad news, with the passing of Julie Pritchard, Founder of the legendary "Brian" fanzine, and writer for "Bandy and Shinty" and "Leftlion", amongst others. Thanks for everything Julie, you ran so we could walk.

Part 2 will be in your feeds adjacent to this one, as we talk to a West Ham fan about the relegation battle, enjoy a quickfire round, and look forward to another Europa League encounter.

MURILLOOOOOO! Manchester City 2-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report, 4th March 2026

It was quite a night at the Etihad, as despite conceding two relatively soft goals, the Reds scored two excellent ones of their own to defy Man City. For many watchers though, the defining moment will be Murillo's dramatic goal-line clearance with the last kick of the match.

Rich is joined by Katie, fresh back from Eastlands, to discuss the big moments in a big night, that was tempered by West Ham winning and drawing level on points - Forest are only out of the relegation zone on goal difference. Eek.

THE FATIGUE FACTOR: Brighton and Hove Albion 2-1 Nottingham Forest - The 1865 Match Report, 1st March 2026

Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠ - watch or listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠ - watch on ⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Another league defeat as Forest conceded an early goal, equalised with a belter from Morgan Gibbs-White, but undid the good work by letting in another one within a minute.

Vitor Pereira conceded that fatigue was a factor, but it is not an excuse for the Portuguese gaffer, who experimented with some different formations and personnel to try and get back in the game - unlike Matz Sels, Brighton keeper Bart Verbruggen didn't have any notable saves to make, but Awoniyi and Gibbs-White will feel that they should have done better with their headers.

The Maradona of the Midlands is joined by George Edwards, just back from the south coast, with a view from the opposition coming from Rick Loosemore.

CHOOSE YOUR BATTLES: Nottingham Forest 1-2 Fenerbahçe SK - The 1865 European Match Report, 26th February 2026

The Reds lost on the night, but went through to the last 16 of the Europa League on aggregate, after last week's impressive 3-0 win in Turkey. Once again, a much-altered starting XI left Forest fans short-changed, as the tempo was slower, and the home team were caught on the break to give Fenerbahçe the advantage on the night.

Four (FOUR) half-time subs had barely warmed up before Jair Cunha conceded a slightly unfortunate penalty, but from then on Forest were much better, and Callum Hudson-Odoi's effort put them firmly in control - Omari Hutchinson and Igor Jesus will feel that they should have made it more comfortable. Baz and Tom report.

CLOSE BUT NO CIG-VAR: Nottingham Forest 0-1 Liverpool - The 1865 Match Report, 22nd February 2026

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 22:38:00 -0000

Listen on ⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠ - watch or listen on ⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠ - watch on ⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠.

Despite a scintillating first-half display, Forest could not put the ball in the net, and were made to pay in the 97th minute when the second of two late VAR decisions went against them.

In truth, it's difficult to know where to start with the late calls. No-one (if any) in the ground expected the first one to be chalked off, but by the letter of the law it was correct. No-one from Forest was disputing the second one, although stills show that Hugo Ekitike was in an offside position, but deemed not to be interfering 🤷‍♂️

Rich and Baz try and untangle all of that, as well as discussing tactics, subs and confidence. The view from the opposition comes from Neil of The Anfield Wrap.

What a win in Vitor Pereira's first match - this was as close to flawless as you could imagine as Forest controlled the match from start to finish, and kept that valuable clean sheet. They even overcame two of their weaknesses, by scoring from a corner, and getting goals (rather than conceding them) either side of half-time.

Rich is joined on the line by a rather giddy George Edwards, just back in his hotel room in Istanbul after a long day, to review the goals, the atmosphere, the experience, and what this means for the rest of the Reds' season.

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 14:51:00 -0000

The match against Wolves was awful - don't let the stats fool you, as the visitors were actually more likely to score at the end of each half.

The game was overshadowed by the news, announced just after midnight, that Sean Dyche had been relieved of his duties as Head Coach, with Forest looking for a fourth incumbent in the managerial hotseat since September. Rich, Baz and Tom talk about the game and the consquences.

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 07 Feb 2026 14:45:00 -0000

It was a bad night for the Reds but a very good one for Leeds United, as they took full advantage of a raucous home crowd and some tactical tweaks, as well as some good old-fashioned hard work. Lorenzo Lucca's goal on début was scant consolation, as Forest are now looking nervously over their shoulders again.

Rich is joined by Katie, after a cold wet night in the away section, and we are thankful to Ger from The Leeds United View for sharing an opinion from the home section.

10-man Reds prove fighting spirit! Nottingham Forest 1-1 Crystal Palace: The 1865 Match Report, 1st February 2026

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 10:04:00 -0000

Forest would have been hoping to get the win to draw level on points with our beleaguered visitors, and things started well when Morgan Gibbs-White tucked home after five minutes. As is so often the case, we should have got another one, and literally paid the penalty when Neco Williams handled on the line and was dismissed, with Ismaíla Sarr scoring the resulting spot kick.

However, in the second half, the ten man team showed no let up with a magnificent battling performance to repel Palace, and still managed to break with numbers, but both teams had to settle for a point in the end. Rich and Baz report on the game, the tactics, the substitutions, and yes, the referee.

RYAN ZIDANE! Nottingham Forest 4-0 Ferencvárosi TC: The 1865 European Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 30 Jan 2026 21:55:00 -0000

After the worst game possible last week, Forest went some way to making up to the fans with a goal-fest and clean sheet against Hungarian opposition. Last week's chief antagonist (and there were many) became Forest's chief protagonist as the skipper made two first half goals, contributed to the penalty award at the death, and turned into prime Zidane for about 20 minutes.

The headlines went to Igor Jesus for his two goals, and James McAtee and Dan Ndoye had their best games in a red shirt, with the former richly deserving the goal that he scored when Morgan Gibbs-White gave him the opportunity from 12 yards. Rich and Baz report. Oh, what a night.

Yatesy's delusions, Nick Randall Q&A, Women win: YATESY'S ESPRESSO BAR, 27th January 2026

Welcome to YATESY'S ESPRESSO BAR, your weekly roundup of all things Forest from your friends at 1865. In the last week, our usually inspirational skipper caused a fair bit of consternation with his interview after the Braga match - was this delusional or the result of media training?

We hear from Matt Turpin with the latest on the Forest Women's team, in the week where Charlie Wellings scored a rather odd goal, and the Reds welcomed two new signings; and we discuss Nick Randall's latest Q&A and Jean-Philippe Mateta with guest pundit Steve Burns.

Collymore-esque! Brentford 0-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

Two strikers, two goals scored, one clean sheet and three points for the Reds. After Thursday's awful game in Portugal, Forest have quietly managed seven points out of the last nine as things tighten up towards the foot of the Premier League.

After having no strikers in Braga, Forest had one score 12 minutes after the start, and another 12 minutes from the end, and what goals they were, with sub Awoniyi's particularly reminiscent of a Forest striker of yesteryear. Rich and Tom report.

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 21:03:00 -0000

After the Wrexham match, the loyal and long-suffering travelling Reds fans must have been thinking "at least it cannot get much worse than this'. Well, last night, Nottingham Forest missed a penalty, scored an own goal and got a red card, to LOSE TO A TEAM WHO DIDN'T HAVE A SHOT ON TARGET.

Baz speaks to George, who was drying off in his hotel room after Storm Ingrid battered the Estádio Municipal, to reflect on a night with no strikers, no urgency, more poor performances from fringe players, and a startling lack of self-awareness. Watch out listeners, this report contains swears.

HANDB-OLA? Nottingham Forest 0-0 Arsenal: The 1865 Match Report, 17th January 2026

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 18 Jan 2026 22:09:00 -0000

As far as the headline writers were concerned, the big story was the penalty shout for Arsenal, for an apparent handball by Ola Aina. However, for Reds fans, there will be hope that Forest have rediscovered some of the grit and work ethic that was sorely missing for much of the preceding few weeks.

Baz is joined by guest pundit Steve Burns to talk about the action, and yes, discuss the penalty shout, contrasted with an opinion from a Gooner. We'll be back in the week with a roundup from Yatesy's Espresso Bar, and then a report following the game against Braga.

Nottingham Forest's UEFA Cup run, 30 Years On: an 1865 Podcast Special (Part 2)

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 17 Jan 2026 06:00:00 -0000

In a pleasing show of symmetry, it is thirty years since Nottingham Forest last plyed their trade in European competition. Back then, Frank Clark's Reds put in a series of back to basics performances in defence, with sprinklings of fairy dust up front by the likes of Bryan Roy, Ian Woan, Steve Stone, Paul McGregor and, erm, Steve Chettle.

In this podcast special, Steven Toplis and Tom Newton look back over that magical season, in which Forest were the last English team standing in European competition. We give our thanks to our special guests for joining us: ex-Reds players Mark Crossley, Steve Chettle and Bryan Roy, Central TV journalist Keith Daniel, and Forest fan Rich Fisher.

Dyche IN or OUT? Are the players to blame? Plus Women's team update: YATESY'S ESPRESSO BAR, 13th January 2026

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 18:50:00 -0000

It's time for another visit to YATESY'S ESPRESSO BAR, the forum for the latest news and debate by fans, for fans of Nottingham Forest.

In this episode, Steven Toplis gets a match report from Matt Turpin as the NFFC Women's Team returned to action against Bristol City, after nearly a month without a game; George Edwards joins Steven to discuss the future of the Forest manager after the Wrexham debacle, with George taking the temperature of the away end; finally, Steven and George have a think about what the Reds really need in the January transfer window.

Wrecked us: Wrexham 3-3 Nottingham Forest (Wrexham win 4-3 on penalties) - The 1865 Match Report, 9th January 2026

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 22:45:00 -0000

As much as we didn't want to have to talk about this one, here is our match report on a dismal result, after which even the Head Coach went public and berated his players after a spineless first half display in which most of Forest's reserves showed exactly why they aren't in the first team - fans can forgive a bad game, but never a lack of effort.

In the end, subs Gibbs-White, Williams and Hudson-Odoi dragged the Reds back into it, with the winger's second goal being particularly tasty, but I don't think anyone would begrudge Wrexham their Hollywood ending in this match. For this report, Baz is joined by Katie, who had a long, cold and late night in north Wales.

ControVARsial win for Forest? West Ham 1-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report, 6th January 2026

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 19:36:00 -0000

The most important thing is that the record books will show that this was a win for Nottingham Forest. West Ham fans felt aggrieved at referee Tony Harrington and VAR Neil Davies, but Sky Sports and BBC experts alike agree that both controversial moments were correctly awarded, even if they were technical decisions.

If Crysencio Summerville's second half effort had stood, then Forest would have been in deep trouble at 2-0 down. Instead, the wind was knocked out of the Hammers' sails and the Reds were galvanised, to equalise, and then when Morgan Gibbs-White withstood the pressure to convert a penalty in the last minute of the 90.

Steven Toplis is joined by Tom Newton to discuss the result, refereeing and the team's performance, and what it means for Sean Dyche just over halfway through the season. James Jones joins us from Sports Social stablemates We Are West Ham, with a rant about the ref and despair about the Hammers' prospects.

Big BAD John 🙁 Aston Villa 3-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report, 3rd January 2026

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 04 Jan 2026 16:51:00 -0000

Another defeat for the Reds, making it four in a row and a very Unhappy New Year for Sean Dyche and his men. The first half was a war of attrition, with Forest absorbing Villa pressure, until the inevitable momentary lapse of concentration saw Ollie Watkins' powerful 20 yarder hit the back of the net.

Almost straight after half-time, John McGinn scored to end the contest, and although Morgan Gibbs-White pulled one back on the break, just minutes later, Forest threw it away. If John Victor got the benefit of the doubt for the first goal, then there was nowhere to hide for the third as he came racing into no-man's land, and McGinn slotted into an empty net.

The Maradona of the Midlands is joined by a despondent and angry George Edwards to conduct a post-mortem, with a view from the home fans provided by Neil of our Sports Social stablemates "For The Love of Paul McGrath". We'll be back the day after the six-pointer/Nuno grudge match against West Ham in midweek.

Déja Blue - Nottingham Forest 0-2 Everton: The 1865 Match Report, 30th December 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 08:06:00 -0000

Forest ended the year with a disappointing and flat performance against Everton, just a few weeks after putting in a disappointing and flat performance against Everton. The visitors let Forest have the lion's share of possession, but the Reds were often outmuscled and struggled to penetrate the Toffees' rearguard, despite getting around the full-backs and playing plenty of crosses.

With three defeats in a row and tough fixtures to come, we review this game but also ask questions about whether recent optimism was misplaced, and whether Forest really are in a relegation battle.

Wishing all of our listeners and followers a Happy and Peaceful New Year.

REFEREEING RANT - JONES IS CITY'S 12TH MAN! Nottingham Forest 1-2 Manchester City: The 1865 Match Report, 27th December 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 27 Dec 2025 22:26:00 -0000

It was a hard-fought match, and one that many Forest fans (and the Forest manager) felt was overshadowed by the performance of referee Rob Jones - rather than playing against ten men, the Reds were up against 12 of them.

The match was lively, but most of the action was in the second half, which started when Rúben Días somehow escaped a second booking for bringing down Igor Jesus. City took full advantage of that reprieve through Tijani Reijnders, before a fine counter-attacking equaliser finished off by Omari Hutchinson. The winning goal came late on, as the officials waved away various episodes of wrestling in the box, one of which prevented Morgan Gibbs-White from blocking Rayan Cherki's effort.

Despite the victory, you could see that the visitors had put everything into this one, and several players from both teams fell to the ground at full-time. In this report, Rich and Baz embark on an unexpectedly ranty diatribe against the injustice of it all.

We'll be back with a tribute to John Robertson very soon, and a report when Everton come to visit on Tuesday - I think - does anyone actually know what day it is?

Christmas Crack'd: Fulham 1-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Tue, 23 Dec 2025 13:53:00 -0000

It was an underwhelming night at Craven Cottage, to put it mildly. Both teams were poor, and chances were few and far between, despite Fulham attempting to score after less than 15 seconds.

The Reds never got going and only had Murillo's 30 yarder as an effort on goal. In the meantime, Anthony Taylor proved why he is one of the most well-known refs in Premier League history.

Rich is joined by Tom to discuss a bad night at the office, and Sam Dymond joins us from Fulham Focus for a view from the home end. We'll be back on Christmas Eve with Part 2 of our FESTIVE TERRORISTS show, featuring our Forest Festive Quiz.

NFFC Women tame the Wolves, Dychie's progress: YATESY'S ESPRESSO BAR, 17th December 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 20:22:00 -0000

This week's visit to Yatesy's Espresso Bar splits into two: Rich is joined by our Women's team correspondent Matt Turpin to review last weekend's FA Cup victory over Wolves - it was a bit squeakier than we would like but Carly employed proper game management tactics to see us over the line and into the next round.

Then friend of the podcast Steve Burns joins us to review the progress of the men's team since Sean Dyche took over. If not for the Australian, the Reds would be comfortably in the top half of the table, and Steve shares his thoughts on why it works so well under the gruff-voiced growler.

We'll be back before the Fulham match with a Festive edition of Football Terrorists, with some thoughts on Forest's secret weapons and a Christmas quiz!

CHOristmas Cheer! Nottingham Forest 3-0 Tottenham Hotspur: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 10:23:00 -0000

It was a welcome league win after the disappointing defeat at Everton, as Callum Hudson-Odoi scored twice (one of which he DEFINITELY meant) and Ibrahim Sangaré made the first before scoring an absolute belter for the third goal.

In truth, Spurs were lacklustre, but as the match went on, the Reds gained in stature and confidence. The importance of Murillo was underlined in both defence and team shape, and Igor Jesus was once again monumental. Baz and Tom report, with the view from the opposition provided by Alfie Nicholson. We'll be back with Yatesy's Espresso Bar in midweek.

SUPERSUB IGOR STRIKES! FC Utrecht 1-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 European Match Report, 11th December 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 11:44:00 -0000

It was a topsy-turvy affair in the Netherlands, as Forest, resplendent in their navy third kit, dominated the first 25 mins and then retreated for a nervy end to the first half. A double substitution at the break saw the Reds take the lead through Arnaud Kalimuendo's opportunism, but then they conceded a poor goal from a set-piece.

Luckily, Forest were able to introduce Morgan Gibbs-White and Igor Jesus, and the Brazilian put away a smart finish only 82 seconds after coming on, after a good pass by MGW to allow Callum Hudson-Odoi to create the chance.

Steven Toplis is joined by a tired George Edwards, just a few hours after the match, to share thoughts on a game that could have gone wrong but saw the Reds finish the night in 11th place in the Europa League.

SOCIAL MEDIA RANT, Ola's Snapchat backlash and NFFC Women progress report: YATESY'S ESPRESSO BAR, 9th December 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 13:23:00 -0000

In an unexpected development, this podcast includes a lengthy rant by Rich about how people in general, but football fans in particular, use social media!

The use of such apps provides the basis for much of our discussion, with thoughts from Katie Campbell and Matt Turpin on the Ola Aina debacle, how discourse has changed between football fans in the modern age, and why fans, players and journalists are simultaneously excited and wary of the dopamine hit that social media can provide.

Katie and Matt also provide a much more calm and considered opinion about the Forest Women's team, following the weekend's victory against Sunderland, with praise for all positions from Emily Batty in goal, all the way to Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah upfront.

Hill Dickinson Disaster: Everton 3-0 Nottingham Forest - The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 07 Dec 2025 11:52:00 -0000

That couldn't have gone much worse, could it? From Nicoló Savona's yellow card after 30 seconds, to conceding from the resulting free kick, all the way through poor team defending for the second and third goals, the Reds were rightly punished for a poor display.

Sure, there were a couple of decisions that might have made a marginal difference, with Tarkowski's off-the-ball barge on Ndoye going unpunished, and Reds players and management absolutely adamant that the ball hit the ref on the way to goal number 2, but the performance suggested that we are clutching at straws.

George Edwards is joined by Katie Campbell for a rant recorded after a long journey back to Nottingham, and the view from the opposition comes from Adam of the Call Of Everton. We'll be back with Yatesy's Espresso Bar in midweek, before another trip to Europe for the game against Utrecht on Thursday.

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 04 Dec 2025 15:42:00 -0000

It might not be the last time we use this headline, but Igor Jesus' first Premier League goal was a vital contribution in a game of little quality. The most important thing was to take home the points as Wolves are dire and Forest didn't want to get stranded as teams like Leeds got victories.

Baz is joined by Tom to discuss a game in a poor atmosphere, with a mystifyingly long VAR check and little else of note. Dave Azzopardi joins us from the Talking Wolves channel to provide a view from the Molineux.

The more eagle-eyed Forest fans will have noticed that Sean Dyche has now surpassed his predecessor's tenure at the City Ground, having completed 40 days in charge.

In this special episode of Yatesy's Espresso Bar, Steven Toplis is joined by YouTuber and Reds fan Ray Mundo Futbol, to compare and contrast the gruff man from Kettering with the big Australian.

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 20:44:00 -0000

Forest fans were given a dose of reality after a string of good results, as a goal at the end of each half saw Brighton return to the south coast with all the points.

The visitors made a strong start and it was midway through the first period before we saw the Reds gain a foothold, but de Cuyper's late goal saw Brighton lead at half-time. There was no shortage of endeavour from Forest in the second half but also little end product, and Morato's mistake saw Tzimos put the game out of reach.

Rich is joined by Tom to talk about the game and what it means ahead of a busy gameweek. We are also joined by Brighton fan Ian Peppiatt with a view from the opposition.

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 19:21:00 -0000

A nostalgic night at the WFCG, but also a historic one in its own right as skipper Ryan Yates scored to make him the only player in history to score in the top five divisions of English football, both domestic cups and now the Europa League (and on each day of the week).

It was actually fairly routine for the (all) Reds, who despite seven changes were a cut above the Swedish opponents with the noisy fans. Arnaud Kalimuendo will feel much better after scoring a goal, and Jimmy Sinclair made his début. George and Baz report on a night when Yatesy will feel unlucky not to get a hat trick. We'll be back after the Brighton game on Sunday - thanks for listening!

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 07:05:00 -0000

Some Reds fans may have been confident of getting a result, but I don't think anyone saw that coming. Whatever grumbles that LiVARpool fans may have had about the first goal, they were eclipsed by the injustice of Igor Jesus having an effort chalked off for a non-existent handball that was surely enough to call the ref to the pitchside monitors for a review.

Fortunately it didn't matter as Sean Dyche's team put things beyond doubt in the second half; the two full-backs combined as Nicoló Savona hit a striker's finish into the top corner, and supersub Omari Hutchinson forced a save from Alisson, only for Morgan Gibbs-White to decisively stroke home the rebound.

George Edwards and Katie Campbell report on their return from Anfield, on a game that saw Arne Slot perplexed, and his skipper Virgil van Dijk take over the role of "sour grapes cheerleader"; luckily we have a magnanimous view from the home end comes from Neil from The Anfield Wrap.

We'll be back with Yatesy's Espresso Bar and a report on the Europa League match against Malmö FF. Thanks for listening!

Nottingham Forest 3-1 Leeds United: The 1865 Match Report, 9th November 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 09 Nov 2025 22:40:00 -0000

On a day when the City Ground paid tribute to those who had fought in wars, along with Stephen Crean and the heroes of last week's train attack, Sean Dyche's Nottingham Forest fought back from a goal down to record a fine victory before the international break.

Despite an early concession to Lukas Nmecha, the Reds quickly equalised through Ibrahim Sangaré, and although they dominated most of the first half they couldn't edge in front. Three second half subs made a big difference though, and the energy and aggression of Awoniyi, Yates and Hutchinson saw the latter get an assist and win a penalty to put the game beyond the visitors.

Rich and Baz report after the game. Stay tuned across the International Break for two special interviews with a pair of notable ex-Reds. Thanks for listening.

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 07 Nov 2025 17:01:00 -0000

A much changed Forest line-up secured a 0-0 draw away from home, but it should have been more. The home team had a goal ruled out for offside, but in reality Forest were the better team and would have made it count but for Ryan Yates' header being cleared off the line and MGW's penalty being saved.

Steven Toplis is joined by George Edwards and new 1865 recruit Katie Campbell, from the blog A View From The Clough Stand, to discuss the experience, and a game that we probably would have lost a few weeks ago. We'll be back after the Leeds match on Sunday.

The good news is that Forest managed to get their first Premier League goals in ages! The less positive element is that, despite the quick salvo, the Reds didn't manage to hold on for all three points against a resurgent Manchester United team.

George and Baz report after attending the City Ground encounter which saw Sean Dyche name an unchanged team, and then deliver what must have been a strong half-time team talk; and also saw the Reds once again concede a dodgy corner, but fail to defend the resulting set piece.

We'll be back after Thursday's encounter against Sturm Graz. In the meantime, thanks for listening and COME ON YOU REDS.

Bournemouth 2-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report, 26th October 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 06:00:00 -0000

A disappointing afternoon for the Reds, but let's be honest, we always lose at Bournemouth, don't we? Sean Dyche made only one change from the team that played at Porto, but then made a triple change at half-time in response to an opening period that saw Forest go 2-0 down to a couple of really soft goals.

The second half was better but pretty unremarkable all round. Morgan Gibbs-White had the Reds' only real chance of note and Dyche will be grateful for a few days on the training ground before the next game at home to Manchester United. Steven Toplis and the Maradona of the Midlands report, with George Edwards and Jon Spark representing a view from each team.

"I feel like I can finally breathe": Nottingham Forest 2-0 FC Porto - The 1865 European Match Report, 23rd October 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 24 Oct 2025 17:17:00 -0000

It was a historic European night at the City Ground as Sean Dyche brought a refreshed attitude and a return to some of the simpler things in football, but without resorting to dinosaur tactics.

Despite Porto playing some neat stuff, they never got the chance to maintain their unbeaten run as the Reds inflicted their first defeat of the season through penalties from Morgan Gibbs-White and Igor Jesus. Despite the nervousness of VAR interventions, our studio-based officials got the big decisions right, which also makes a refreshing change!

Baz is joined by Tom Newton for a discussion of a big night for the Reds. We will be back after the return to Premier League action away to Bournemouth (eek) and will have a more in-depth discussion next week in Yatesy's Espresso Bar. Thanks for joining us!

Welcome to this 1865 Podcast Special, with thanks to Henry Winter for the headline. Normally we would be bringing you a match report but following the news of Ange Postecoglou's sacking minutes after the end of the 0-3 defeat to Chelsea, we have got the team together to discuss:

Was this departure inevitable?
Should they have sacked him during the international break?
Dyche, Mancini or someone else like Silva or Glasner?

Hosted by Rich Ferraro with Steven Toplis, Baz and the Maradona of the Midlands. We'll be back once news of the new gaffer is confirmed.

Anger at Ange, Cheers for Carly, unexpected Liz Truss: FOOTBALL TERRORISTS, October 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 05:00:00 -0000

It's the return of Football Terrorists, the irreverent monthly review of events at the City Ground. Since the last time we did this, there has been a new Head Coach and lots of disgruntlement, which we explore by playing "Penny For Your Thoughts", hosting a quickfire round and speaking to Spurs fan Jason from the Last Word on Spurs podcast.

Hosted by Rich Ferraro with the Maradona of the Midlands, with panellists Steven Toplis, Tom Newton and Football Terrorists debutant Matt Turpin. The 1865 Sketch is brought to you by Jeremy Davies.

Newcastle United 2-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report, 5th October 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 18:48:00 -0000

Recorded late at night after a long day out, George Edwards hosts our match report on another defeat for Ange Postecoglou's Forest. There was a more back to basics approach from the Head Coach, but as the match went on, the home team turned up the wick, leading to an effort from distance by Bruno Guimarâes and a well-taken penalty by Nick Woltemade after a rare error by Elliot Anderson against his boyhood team.

George is joined by Tom Newton for this match report, with the opposition view from exiled Geordie Jack Stanley from the Toon Under Podcast. We are taking a few days off but will be back with our Football Terrorists discussion show, covering the plight of the men's team, and the success of the women (which gives us something to be grateful for, I guess).

Nottingham Forest 2-3 FC Midtjylland: The 1865 European Match Report, 2nd October 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 04 Oct 2025 04:05:00 -0000

The mood turned hostile as Forest conceded two set piece goals, and a third on the break as they were chasing the game - despite Dan Ndoye levelling to make it 1-1, and Chris Wood's late penalty, fans were not happy and not only chanted for the dismissal of Ange Postecoglou but sang the name of his predecessor Nuno Espírito Santo.

George and Baz report the following day with some considered thoughts, having slept on it and allowed some dust to settle. They mainly focus on the issues on the pitch, and there will be plenty of debate to follow about the appointment and tenure of the Aussie Head Coach. We'll be back after the Newcastle game, and will engage in the debate during the international break.

Fan backlash, player rotation and radical rethinks: YATESY'S ESPRESSO BAR, 1st October 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 16:36:00 -0000

It's been quite a week for Reds fans, and we are here to help you make sense of it all, starting with reviews of the performances against Real Betis and Sunderland, and previews of the forthcoming games against Midtjylland and Newcastle.

Presented by Rich Ferraro with the Maradona of the Midlands, with an update on NFFC Women coming from Matt Turpin. Thanks for listening, we'll be back after Thursday's big match.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Sunderland: The 1865 Match Report, 27th September 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 19:17:00 -0000

EPISODE REUPLOADED due to a technical issue.

The headlines scream about five matches for Ange without a win, but for many fans, the worries go deeper. This was a performance lacking in intensity and direction, and save for twenty minutes after making a host of changes, Forest did not threaten the visitors' goal.

George and Baz discuss the game, whether Ange is already in trouble, and if he has already lost the fans. The view from the opposition comes from Gav of Ha'way The Podcast and Roker Report.

Real Betis Balompié 2-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 European Match Report, 24th September 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 26 Sep 2025 17:35:00 -0000

Well that was quite the ride wasn't it? Reds fans took over corners of Seville and had their first European night in thirty years. They were rewarded by a stellar first half display, despite going a goal down after 15 mins; but Igor Jesus' quickfire double saw the supporters in dreamland, both in the stadium and watching back home.

Unfortunately the subs were telling; Betis made three half-time changes and Forest were forced into replacing Douglas Luiz, and that gave impetus to the Spaniards. Nonetheless, Matz Sels was largely untroubled until the last 10-15 mins, and Antony's late strike ensured a share of the spoils on a memorable night.

Steven Toplis is joined by a tired and hoarse Tom Newton, who had sampled the delights of Seville and revelled in the Reds' European journey.

It's an exciting week for all Reds fans, as Nottingham Forest return to European football for the first time in thirty years.

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 20:51:00 -0000

The Reds took an early lead through Neco Williams, but the hosts equalised and both keepers had to make some good saves to keep it levell, with Ange Postecoglou still looking for his first victory as Reds boss.

George Edwards and Steven Toplis report on a game which saw further evolution in Forest's style of play, but which the Reds will feel that they should have won.

Carabao Cup disaster - Swansea 3-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 18 Sep 2025 21:00:00 -0000

Ugh. After taking control of the first half and scoring a couple of good goals, Forest went full Postecoglou in the second period, with two stoppage time goals earning their Welsh opponents a place in the fourth round. Ange made a host of changes, so will have some selection problems in the future, but a lack of discipline at both ends of the pitch cost the Reds dear - is this a sign of things to come?

Presented by Baz with guest pundit Steve Burns, and featuring the thoughts of George Edwards as he left the Swansea.com Stadium.. We'll be back with a match report after the weekend's encounter at Burnley.

After the new Head Coach saw defeat in his first game away at Arsenal, we take comfort in the Forest Women's team gaining their first victory in WSL2 with a 1-0 win away at Ipswich. We also reflect upon Ange's return to north London, and preview the Carabao Cup game away at Swansea.

Presented by Rich Ferraro with the Maradona of the Midlands, also featuring Matt Turpin with a review of the Women's maiden victory. We'll be back with match reports after the games at Swansea and Burnley later this week.

A new manager starts as the old one ended - with a 3-0 defeat against London opposition. The odds looked stacked against Forest from the start, especially with no Aina or Zinchenko, and Arsenal cruised to an efficient 3-0 victory.

The Maradona of the Midlands is joined by Tom Newton to discuss whether or not there were any positives, and whether any of the new boys will have something to offer under Ange.

Crystal Palace 1-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report, Aug 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Tue, 26 Aug 2025 04:53:00 -0000

After a turbulent time with the CAS ruling, and unhelpful language from Steve Parish, Selhurst Park was full of Palace fans wanting to get one over on Forest, but more specifically Evangelos Marinakis.

For nearly an hour it looked like they would get their wish as the home team grabbed the lead and Forest struggled to get involved, but once Callum Hudson-Odoi levelled, Forest arguably looked more likely, with Igor Jesus and Omari Hutchinson coming close before a late Palace effort was saved.

Steven Toplis and Tom Newton report on the game, that banner and the speculation over Nuno; we are also joined by Jay and Dan from The Eagles Beak for a perspective from the home end. We'll be back in midweek with a visit to Yatesy's Espresso Bar.

A great start to the season for the Reds, as they took the lead after just five minutes and went into half-time three goals to the good. The midfield triumvirate of Anderson, Sangaré and Gibbs-White were outstanding, with the goals coming from Wood (2) and debutant Ndoye.

Rich and Baz report on the match, the tactics and what this might mean for the Reds' season, on the day that new signings Hutchinson and McAtee were officially unveiled on the City Ground pitch.

1865 kit bag: Podcast Extra, July 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 10:47:00 -0000

While 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 a kit based upon the success or failures of that season?

Finally, as a kit geek, we ask Mark to select the top three footy shirts of his lifetime.

Thanks to Mark for joining us - still to come over the summer, we will bring you some more interviews with legendary Forest players, and will have roundups of the confirmed transfer activity, before we report back for pre-season in a few weeks' time!

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Tue, 27 May 2025 07:52:00 -0000

Despite the monumental achievement of European football, there was a palpable sense of disappointment at the City Ground as the Reds failed to qualify for the Champions' League, even though other results went the way that we needed them to.

In truth, Chelsea had the extra nous to get over the line, and Chris Wood missed two very preventable chances in a match where neither keeper was particularly tested. Steven Toplis and Tom Newton pick themselves up to analyse the game and we are joined by Nick from That Chelsea Podcast for a view from the opposition.

We'll be back next week with our end of season Football Terrorists show. In the meantime, thank you so much for listening throughout the season, we have recorded over 100 podcasts and appreciate you joining us.

West Ham 1-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report, May 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Tue, 20 May 2025 05:00:00 -0000

A much-needed win for the Reds in a match featuring three goals, sixteen minutes of stoppage time, a six minute VAR check and multiple tributes to Taiwo Awoniyi. Goals for Morgan Gibbs-White and Nikola Milenković earned the points, despite Jarrod Bowen's late consolation. It's tight at the top in the run for the Champions' League, with Forest in 7th, but only a point behind Newcastle in third. Eek.

Presented by George Edwards, with Tom Newton (back from parental leave). The view from the opposition comes from Jamie of the We Are West Ham podcast. We'll be back with your Friday 5 news roundup at the end of the week, before the crunch match against Chelsea. COME ON YOU REDS!

FOREST ARE IN EUROPE! Nottingham Forest 2-2 Leicester City: The 1865 Match Report, May 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 12 May 2025 12:03:00 -0000

A bittersweet afternoon, as the Reds secured European football for the first time in thirty years, but also crumbled against one of the worst teams in Premier League history as Leicester equalised and then piled on the pressure in the last ten minutes.

Steven and George bring you a bumper match report, discussing the many talking points including goals, offside decisions and injuries, and of course the Big Guy's intervention at full-time that captured so many headlines.

Crystal Palace 1-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report, May 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 07 May 2025 10:22:00 -0000

As the race for the Champions' League gets ever tighter, Forest will probably be happy with a point from this one. They played some nice stuff and looked more composed in the first half, with Sangaré partnering Anderson in central midfield. After falling behind to Eberechi Eze's penalty, Murillo deflected Neco Williams' wayward shot for a quick response.

Steven and George discuss the game and whether this was a deserved point or a lucky escape. We also have a view from the home fans, from Palace Mad Mason.

Nottingham Forest 0-2 Brentford: The 1865 Match Report, May 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 03 May 2025 06:28:00 -0000

This one was really disappointing, as Thomas Frank's tactical choices saw the visitors deservedly take the points. If the first goal was a little unfortunate due to Ola Aina's slip, the second showed that Brentford deliberately played that way.

Steven and Maradona debate the game, the rain, and what it means for Forest's chances of Champions League qualification. As always, we will return after the Palace match, win, lose or draw. Thanks for listening.

Nottingham Forest 0-2 Manchester City: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 28 Apr 2025 17:55:00 -0000

The FA Cup Semi-Final ended in defeat as a disappointing first half saw the Reds concede a very early goal, as Man City threatened to overrun Nuno's team. The half-time introduction of Anthony Elanga almost paid immediate dividends but City scored a second straight away.

Even then, the Reds hit the woodwork three times and forced an excellent save from Stefan Ortega, but Matz Sels also had to make some crucial interventions. Our match report features snippets from Wembley by Baz and Rich, some more considered analysis from Steven and George, and a view from Man City fan Mike Passaris.

Join us later in the week for your Brentford match report, as the Reds return to league action, and we will also aim to reflect upon the Women's Championship winning season in due course. YOU REDS!

Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Tue, 22 Apr 2025 19:16:00 -0000

It 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 brought to you by Steven and Baz, and we will be back later in the week with our Friday 5 roundup and a preview of Sunday's trip to Wembley for the FA Cup Semi Final.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Everton: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 13 Apr 2025 23:00:00 -0000

It was a first home defeat since November for the Reds, who were below par and deservedly lost, but the circumstances hurt as Murillo lost the ball in stoppage time after a Forest corner, leading to Abdoulaye Doucouré grabbing the points.

George Edwards is in the host's chair, discussing the game with Baz, who felt that Forest were out-Nunoed by David Moyes and his team. We get a view from the away end by Adam from the Call of Everton channel.

Aston Villa 2-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report, April 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 07 Apr 2025 09:13:00 -0000

You can look at this two ways: either the Manager Of The Month curse hit and Forest predictably lost, or Nuno and the team recovered from an awful, passive start and gave Villa a match in the second half. Ultimately the Reds lost the game, but results elsewhere did not hurt us too much and the race for the Champions League is still on.

Steven Toplis and Tom Newton review a match that saw Villa easily take an early two goal lead as the Reds just weren't switched on, but unlike the Man City, Bournemouth and Newcastle away games, they managed to regroup and Jota's second half strike was the least they deserved. The view from the home end comes from Neil of For The Love Of Paul McGrath.

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Man United: The 1865 Match Report, April 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 02 Apr 2025 18:47:00 -0000

Forest 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. We'll be back with our Friday 5 roundup and Aston Villa preview, followed by our match report as the games come thick and fast. Thanks for listening.

Brighton 0-0 Nottingham Forest (3-4 on pens): The 1865 Match Report, March 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 23:00:00 -0000

WOOF! Forest are going to Wembley! 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 by a very excited George Edwards to report on the match, with a very magnanimous view from the home end by Brighton fan Rick. We'll catch you again after Tuesday's game against Man Utd.

This week's Women's Football Show is a very special one, as we celebrate Carly and the team WINNING the National League Cup with a 3-1 victory over Stoke at the Bescot Stadium. Two goals from Charlie Wellings, and another from Mel Johnson sealed the win and brought some silverware back to the City Ground.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Adam to talk about the game, the team selection and the big players on the day - obviously the goalscorers demand attention, but Carly Davies' tactics were important in unleashing the attacking potential whilst keeping it solid at the back.

Ipswich Town 2-4 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report, March 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 06:00:00 -0000

It was a strong victory despite the two late concessions away at Ipswich, as a six minute salvo fired Forest into an unassailable lead by half-time. Nikola Milenković's effort was supplemented by two goals by Anthony Elanga, while Jota Silva's late strike was sandwiched between two goals by the home team.

In a match report recorded on Sunday before Morgan Gibbs-White's call-up to the England squad, Rich Ferraro is joined by George Edwards to celebrate well-taken goals, deft midfield passes and two-footed players. We'll be back to report upon the Women's derby day victory, as well as your Friday 5 roundup later this week. Come on you Reds!

It was a magnificent performance by Nuno's Reds as they nullified the threat of Manchester City, and then scored a late goal through Callum Hudson-Odoi to keep Forest ahead of the Sky Blues in third place. Yes, still.

Baz is joined by Tom Newton to report on the game, the formation and tactics, and we are also joined by Crunk Chocolate (I'm not sure that is his real name) from the Shades of Blue Podcast, to share the view from the opposition.

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 05 Mar 2025 13:17:00 -0000

It was another long night in the FA Cup, as the Reds played 120 mins and needed penalties to beat Ipswich Town. The home team will feel like the worthy winners, and once again all their efforts in the shoot-out were superbly slotted home. Ryan Yates had equalised George Hirst's header in regulation time, leading to the extra period, and Forest once again brought on some of the big guns to get over the line.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Steven Toplis to discuss the match, the team and tactical switches, and also the celebrations at the end. We'll be back later in the week with your Friday 5 roundup and your Manchester City match report. Come on you Reds!

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 01 Mar 2025 09:54:00 -0000

The recent evening with Billy Davies saw him joined by Terry the Kitman, Wes Morgan and Lee Camp for tales from both of the Scotsman's spells at the club, split into the Doughty years and the Fawaz era. There were a few surprising takes and a bit of dirt dished on some key personnel around the club.

Our men Steven, Tom and the Maradona of the Midlands were there, with Maradona presenting this special show looking back on what we learned and reflecting upon what feels like a turbulent spell for the club.

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 28 Feb 2025 06:00:00 -0000

It was a stalemate at the City Ground as neither team created many chances of note. Forest will be happier, keeping a clean sheet after a poor defensive run, and for the second match in succession, substitutions in midfield gave the Reds a new lease of life.

Rich and Baz discuss the match, defensive solidity, tactics and fatigue. We'll be back in your feeds very soon with our review of the Billy Davies event, Part 2 of our 1994-95 retrospective, and then our match report from the cup game against Ipswich. Come On You Reds!

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 24 Feb 2025 19:43:00 -0000

It 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. Forest are still in third going into Wednesday's match against Arsenal, and we'll report back after the game.

It's the return of the 1865 Women's Show, reviewing another very strong set of results for the Reds as they emerge from a busy fortnight with three wins and one draw. Carly Davies' team remain at the top of the National League Northern Premier Division, but it is tight at the top, so recent results against Rugby Borough and Wolves were really important.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Adam to review recent results, extol the virtues of youth and experience, and to look forward to the National League Cup Final against Stoke next month.

Fulham 2-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report, Feb 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 16 Feb 2025 18:58:00 -0000

Forest were second best at Craven Cottage as Marco Silva and his team delivered a lesson in tactics and performance, and in truth, the home team could have won by more goals. Emile Smith Rowe's first half header was cancelled out by a goal out of almost nowhere by Chris Wood, but despite a change in formation and tactics, the Reds had no answer for Calvin Bassey's second half effort.

Rich Ferraro is joined by George Edwards to discuss the game, the formation and whether Nuno might have got things wrong on this occasion. George also has some high praise for Matz Sels, who kept the scoreline respectable. We'll be back with our Women's Show in midweek, and our Friday 5 news roundup before the weekend's game away at Newcastle. Come On You Reds!

Exeter City 2-2 Nottingham Forest (2-4 on pens): The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 13 Feb 2025 06:00:00 -0000

Phew. 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 Wood, Gibbs-White, Anderson and Williams netted from the spot.

Rich and George report back the morning after the night before, bleary-eyed and relieved. Our next podcast will be this week's Friday 5, previewing the league match against Fulham and bringing you the top five stories from the City Ground. Thanks for listening.

The phrase you are looking for is "BOOM"! The Reds recovered from a battering at Bournemouth by bouncing beleaguered Brighton to the kerb, hitting seven goals without reply in a statement victory. A hat trick from Chris Wood was bookended by an own goal and a header from Morgan Gibbs-White at one end, and Neco Williams and Jota at the other.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to talk about how Nuno and his men made it happen. We also have a reminder of our 1994-95 retrospective podcast, and the last call for our Billy Davies giveaway - email your answers to forestramble@gmail.com by 4th February to have a chance to win two tickets.

Nottingham Forest 1994-95: 30 Years On (Part 1) - 1865 Podcast Special

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 25 Jan 2025 09:09:00 -0000

The 1994-95 season was a memorable one for Nottingham Forest. 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. They talk to Mark Crossley and David Phillips about their memories of playing in that brilliant Forest side, as well Forest supporter Martin Bostock about his experiences of following the Reds throughout the 94-95 campaign.

Oof. At half-time it looked like plain sailing but after Southampton scored, and Forest were controversially denied a fourth goal, it all got a bit nervy. Following a stoppage-time goal for the visitors, the Reds were indebted to Ola Aina's acrobatic clearance off the line for preserving the three points.

The Maradona Of The Midlands and Baz discuss the game, the tactics, the fatigue and yes, the performance of Anthony Taylor as the referee. We'll be back in your feeds later this week with the latest news on the men's and women's teams, and our match report following the tricky looking away fixture at Bournemouth.

Nottingham Forest 1-1 Liverpool: The 1865 Match Report, January 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 06:00:00 -0000

It was another special night at the City Ground, even if the Reds did well to hold on for a point, albeit against arguably the best team in Europe. 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 The Midlands and George Edwards, with a view from the away end coming from Neil Atkinson of the excellent Anfield Wrap (who you can also find on the Sports Social Podcast Network). We'll be back with our Friday 5 news roundup and Southampton preview at the end of the week.

Nottingham Forest 2-0 Luton Town: The 1865 Match Report, January 2025

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 12 Jan 2025 11:40:00 -0000

Forest got the job done with a relatively comfortable cup win over plucky Luton, with goals from Ryan Yates and Ramón Sosa. The away team did have some chances, but Forest could have scored more as well, and considering that the Reds made eleven changes to the team, and got Danilo back on the pitch, half a season after his badly broken ankle.

George Edwards is joined by Tom Newton to talk about the match, the problems in the Bridgford End, and also to preview the forthcoming top of the table clash against Liverpool. Friend of the pod Ryan McCole joins us for a view from the opposition, and of course, we will be back with our report after Tuesday night's big game.

Is there such a thing as a 3-0 smash and grab? Forest scored goals at crucial times, with Morgan Gibbs-White scoring early, and Chris Wood at the end of the first half, before Taiwo Awoniyi finally got his goal in stoppage time to seal the win. Wolves did threaten but weren't sharp enough in front of goal and Matz Sels kept out the rest.

Tom Newton reports back from Molineux, and along with Rich Ferraro debates the tactics and what made Forest great in this one. Unfortunately we also have to discuss the vile chanting aimed at Morgan Gibbs-White and his family, before thinking ahead to the Luton cup match. We are grateful to Dave Azzopardi from Talking Wolves, who provides the view from the opposition.

Everton 0-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 30 Dec 2024 12:47:00 -0000

Jingle Bells! Forest won away, making it five on the bounce, and putting them into second place in the Premier League! A goal and an assist for Chris Wood showcased the Reds' ability on the counter-attack, with Morgan Gibbs-White getting the second, and it could have been more with Sosa, Williams, Elanga and Awoniyi forcing decent saves from Jordan Pickford. A toothless Everton were no match for Milenković and Morato at centre back.

George Edwards reports back from Goodison, with a view from the home end by a rather frustrated Mike from the Unholy Trinity Podcast. Presented by Rich Ferraro with The 1865 Podcat. Happy New Year Reds!

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Tottenham Hotspur: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 27 Dec 2024 13:23:00 -0000

It was a misty afternoon on the banks of the Trent and a Happy Christmas for Reds fans, who watched their team climb to third in the table with a victory over Spurs. As ever, it was built on defensive resolve and counter-attacking might, with Anthony Elanga getting the decisive strike. At the other end, former Red Brennan Johnson came closest, but his promotion-winning alumnus Djed Spence was probably pick of the visiting players, despite his late sending off.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to discuss the game, the tactics and the yellow cards! We'll be back after the Everton game on the 29th - come on you Reds!

Brentford 0-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 23 Dec 2024 08:23:00 -0000

It was another impressive victory for the Reds, this time inflicting Brentford's first defeat at the GTech Community Stadium this season, and keeping a clean sheet to boot. Nuno elected to stiffen up the defence by moving to a back three, and although Forest arguably took a little while to warm up, the result was never in doubt once Ola Aina put the visitors in front, with Anthony Elanga taking advantage of mistake to double the lead in the second half.

Our match report is brought to you by George Edwards and Tom Newton, both fresh back from west London.

Nottingham Forest 2-1 Aston Villa: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 16 Dec 2024 06:00:00 -0000

It was a brilliant last gasp win for the Reds in a match that had it all - a war of tactical attrition, controversial VAR decisions, one of the greatest saves in modern football history and two late goals pushing the Reds into fourth (FOURTH) position in the Premier League.

George Edwards and The Maradona Of The Midlands report after a cold night in Nottingham that saw the City Ground heat up in the last thirty minutes. Nuno was happy, Emery was not, but nights like this give Forest supporters belief that maybe we are watching the real deal.

Manchester United 2-3 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 11:47:00 -0000

Almost thirty years to the day since a number 10 from Stafford scored a winning goal for Forest at Old Trafford, history pretty much repeated itself. It was a little nerve-wracking at times but in truth Forest were really good value for the win, which lifted them to fifth place in the Premier League table.

Steven Toplis and Tom Newton report on a great day for Forest fans, in which goals from Milenković, Gibbs-White and a record-setting finish from Chris Wood saw the Reds take the points. We'll be back with the Friday 5 at the end of the week and our Villa report after next Saturday evening's game.

Manchester City 3-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 06 Dec 2024 06:20:00 -0000

Like 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 up by Pep. We'll be back with your match report after the second part of the Manchester double-header at the weekend.

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Ipswich Town: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 01 Dec 2024 19:11:00 -0000

A much needed victory for the Reds after two heavy defeats, with Chris Wood's penalty making the difference. Ipswich were good value and it took a first half clearance off the line by Ola Aina to preserve the clean sheet. However, once Forest were in the lead they were probably the better team, despite the away side's late efforts.

Our match report is brought to you by Baz and Tom. We'll be back with match reports from the two away games in Manchester in the next week. In the meantime, Forest are top six, and are MASSIVE.

Arsenal 3-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 24 Nov 2024 18:31:00 -0000

A really disappointing result as the Reds were taken to the sword by Arsenal. Like in the Newcastle game before, our opponents were clearly 2-3 years (at least) ahead of us in their development and Forest did crumble a bit.

With no Gibbs-White or Anderson, and Wood only on the bench, Forest simply didn't create enough and paid the price, with Bukayo Saka scoring against us like he always does. Match report by George Edwards with wisdom from Dom Allin from Over The Trent podcast.

Nottingham Forest 1-3 Newcastle United: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 11 Nov 2024 06:00:00 -0000

Alas, Forest's good run came to an end, as Newcastle United came to the City Ground and put us to the sword. 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. Referee Anthony Taylor was possibly lenient with a few decisions (Ryan Yates being the main beneficiary) but at least he didn't affect the outcome - it wasn't all about him today.

Hosted by Rich Ferraro with Baz, and Newcastle viewpoint from Jack Stanley of Toon Under podcast. We'll be back later in the week to celebrate another win by the Women's Team, as well as our regular Friday news roundup. Thanks for listening.

Nottingham Forest 3-0 West Ham: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 04 Nov 2024 06:00:00 -0000

A superb day for the Reds as Chris Wood's first half header preceded second half goals by Callum Hudson-Odoi and a belter by Ola Aina. The Hammers were outfought, and JLo was let down by Eddy from the Low Block, as Alvarez got a second booking just before the break to leave the Reds in the ascendancy.

For many Forest fans, this will have been the highest league position of their lifetime, including our very own Adam, and he joins Steven Toplis to reflect upon heady days for Nuno's Reds.

Disciplinary issues: 1865 Podcast Extra, 30th October 2024

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 06:00:00 -0000

As the FA hand down yet another mammoth fine to the Reds after the battle of Stamford Bridge, we take advantage of the gap in fixtures to talk about the Reds' disciplinary issues and whether there really is an agenda against the Reds and other non-big 6 clubs.

Rich is joined by Baz to review the Reds' progress, Marinakis, comparisons to Millwall and Man United, and as Forest run their open training session and Nuno meets Warriors FC, we talk to friend of the podcast Lord Beestonia and his son Leif, to discuss being fans of both the men's and women's teams.

Leicester City 1-3 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 26 Oct 2024 17:53:00 -0000

It was a fabulous win for Forest against Steve Cooper's Leicester City. The first half saw Ryan Yates' strike cancelled out by Jamie Vardy, and a couple of great saves from Mads Hermansen from Nico Dominguez and Callum Hudson-Odoi. An early second half goal, finished with real quality by Chris Wood, put the Reds in charge and Wood's second goal put the game beyond doubt.

George Edwards is joined by Tom Newton for an extended match report, not just reporting upon Nuno's tactical acumen, paying tribute to our giant Kiwi striker and mentioning a really fun night for the fans, paying tribute to Wood, Yates and many others, includung a mention for the erstwhile Reds boss.

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Crystal Palace: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Tue, 22 Oct 2024 16:55:00 -0000

The wait is over, as Forest finally got that elusive home win thanks to Chris Wood's snapshot and Dean Henderson's flappy hands upon his return to the City Ground. It was a game with quite a few chances for both teams, but the Reds deserved their victory on a night where Elliott Anderson displayed his prowess as the Geordie Maradona and Ryan Yates once again proved what Premier League captaincy can look like.

Baz is joined by guest reporter Zak to dissect the match, the performance and the key men on a night when the Reds were missing their talisman, their manager and their owner through suspension. We'll be back with your Women's Football Show in midweek.

Chelsea 1-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 07 Oct 2024 05:00:00 -0000

It was a game that had everything except a winner: superb saves, yellow cards, a sending off, a brawl and a magnificent and mature performance by the Reds to keep Chelsea at bay with a man disadvantage for 25 minutes. Man of the match Matz Sels earned the point although Jota Silva could have won it at the death.

Rich Ferraro is joined by George Edwards, fresh back from Stamford Bridge, to try and make sense of it all. We'll be back in a few days, reporting on a fabulous victory for Forest Women. In the meantime, come on you Reds!

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Fulham: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 05:00:00 -0000

Depending on your point of view, this was either a reality check or a frustrating defeat borne out of poor tactics and team selection - although both perspectives are possible. Raul Jimenez's penalty after a VAR check for Murillo's foul on Pereira was not evened out as the ref and VAR decided that Calvin Bassey had not brought down Anthony Elanga.

It ended 1-0 to the visitors, bringing an end to the Reds' unbeaten run. Baz and Adam discuss tactics and team selection, and whether Forest can be a force when Morgan Gibbs-White is missing. We'll be back with the Women's Football Show and Friday 5 later in the week - in the meantime, thanks for listening.

Brighton and Hove Albion 2-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 05:00:00 -0000

It finished 2-2 but that only told part of the story, as we saw a strong first half by the Reds get thrown out of the windown just before the break. Nuno then made three half-time changes before bringing on Ramon Sosa, and the Paraguayan finished Jota's run and pass to get an equaliser. Finally, Morgan Gibbs-White's second yellow card brought controversy, as both managers were sent off in a game that saw more cards than a branch of Paper Chase, despite not being remotely dirty.

Rich Ferraro is joined by George Edwards to dissect the game, and who is really in control of the match anyway? Do join us later in the week for the 1865 Women's Football Podcast, and we will have the Friday 5 at the end of the week, before next week's home match against Fulham. Come on you Reds.

Liverpool 0-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 16 Sep 2024 05:00:00 -0000

Forest haven't won at Anfield since 1969 - until this weekend. A masterclass of tactics, team selection and substitutions, as well as some seriously hard work by all 16 players on the day, saw the original Reds beat their Scouse counterparts. Callum Hudson-Odoi's winning strike caught the eye, but every single player can hold their head high, and they gave the fans something to sing about.

Rich Ferraro is joined by George Edwards for an extended match report, discussing the surprises of Nuno's team selection, the brilliance of the back four and, well, every player, and the joy in the away end. Neil Atkinson from The Anfield Wrap kindly offers us a home fan's perspective. We'll be back with the women's football show and the Friday 5 news roundup, before next weekend's trip to Brighton.

Nottingham Forest 1-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 01 Sep 2024 19:00:00 -0000

Five points from the first nine for unbeaten Nottingham Forest, but could it have been more against Wolves? Two early goals ensured that it was honours even, with Chris Wood's header quickly cancelled out by Jean-Ricner Bellegarde's screamer. Wood had a second half effort ruled out for offside, and both teams had penalty claims, but in the end settled for a point.

George Edwards is joined by Baz to discuss the ins and outs of the game, with a view from the away end provided by Dave from Talking Wolves. The Premier League heads into an international break now, but we'll be back later in the week, so stay tuned.

Nottingham Forest 1-1 AFC Bournemouth: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 19 Aug 2024 05:38:00 -0000

It 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. Fortunately, it seems as though the Brazilian will be out for weeks, rather than months, and we send him our best wishes.

George Edwards hosts our match report and is joined by Tom Newton to dissect the action, some of the key players involved, which areas of the team need to improve, and whether Nuno's position is under threat (which some Forest fans seem to be saying - yes, really).

Burnley 1-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 20 May 2024 16:56:29 -0000

Looking at the table after the match, well it was easy wasn't it? Forest ended up six points clear of the drop zone, despite the PSR deduction, and hopefully this game will have helped to lay the ghost of Stoke to rest. Chris Wood also got back in form, sometimes strikers just need to play against their former clubs.

Steven Toplis is joined by Tom Newton, who is fresh back from Turf Moor, and we also hear from Joe from Turfcast with his views on the game. The season might be over but we will have our Friday 5 update later this week, and our end of term review next week. Come on you Reds!

City Ground
That Marinakis interview
New scout
Players in and out
Hudson-Odoi

Nottingham Forest 2-3 Chelsea: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 13 May 2024 07:49:09 -0000

On a day when Forest were confirmed as "all but safe", the Reds failed to rubber stamp their Premier League status as they conceded two late goals to money bags Chelsea. In truth, Forest didn't look like a worse team than their wealthy counterparts, until the subs were made, which strengthened the visitors and weakened the hosts.

Steven Toplis is joined by Baz to discuss a topsy-turvy game which the Reds probably should have won, and also whether we can really feel secure as the spectre of Stoke City continues to haunt Forest fans. We'll be back at the end of the week with our Friday Five roundup, before travelling to Burnley to hopefully put the seal on Premier League survival.

This week's Friday 5 comes at the end of another week of potential PR disasters for the Reds:

PSR points deduction upheld
Forest moving to Toton?
Clattenburg leaves
Forest fancy a Costa?
Yates scores in all five divisions

The news is brought to you by Jamie Martin, and the discussion is hosted by Steven Toplis, with a return to podcasting duties by Adam the Cycling Defender.

Sheffield United 1-3 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 05 May 2024 19:11:46 -0000

A much-needed three points, as despite scoring first through ex-Red Ben Brereton Diaz, the Blades proved how bad they are at defending, allowing Callum Hudson-Odoi to score two of his trademark goals, sandwiching skipper Ryan Yates' first Premier League goal.

The Maradona of the Midlands is joined by George Edwards, as our match reporters recover from their dip in the Trent to review a potentially very important result, on the weekend that Luton and Burnley failed to win. We'll be back later in the week with our Friday 5 roundup and your Chelsea match report.

Nottingham Forest 0-2 Manchester City: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 12:39:32 -0000

A creditable performance, but Forest missed their chances and the champions took theirs. Goals by Gvardiol and Haaland saw the points go to Manchester, but the general consensus was that the Reds did ok. The real question is whether thay can produce the goods in the last three games of the season?

Presented by Steven Toplis with Baz, and the view from the opposition comes from Mike Passaris. We'll be back with more on the Forest appeal in our Friday 5 show later this week, before our report from Bramall Lane as the Reds battle against newly-relegated Sheffield United.

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 26 Apr 2024 07:51:28 -0000

As predicted, it has been one heck of a week for Forest fans, with the defeat at Goodison followed by THAT tweet, and the ensuing fallout. Jamie Martin brings us the latest:

Post-match tweet
Forest request VAR audio
Legal action against Gary Neville?
Clattenburg contract extension?
Stuart Attwell: Luton fan

Rich Ferraro is joined by the Maradona of the Midlands to discuss a turbulent, tumultuous, tempestuous and traumatic few days for Forest fans, with a cameo by Tom following Forest's revised and more conciliatory statements during the week.

We'll be back with a report after the Manchester City game over the weekend; let's hope that the champions have got all the goals out of their system following their game against Brighton last night.

Everton 2-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 22 Apr 2024 08:39:22 -0000

The key fact is that Forest lost a relegation six-pointer, to two long range goals. The underlying facts are that there were three clear penalty shouts waved away, including (at least) one where the ref clearly got it wrong but VAR chose not to correct him. The headlines go to the club's tweet on the full-time whistle, which accuses PGMOL of bias and suggests that the club will explore their options, whatever that means.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Tom Newton, fresh back from Goodison, to discuss a poor game of football, refereeing decisions, and the post-match comments. Mike from the Unholy Trinity Podcast (our Sports Social stablemates) also offers his opinions on the penalty shouts.

We'll discuss the fall out in this week's Friday Five news roundup, later in the week - it's going to be a spicy week before the Man City match next weekend.

Wolves fans' misogynistic chanting
35th anniversary of the Hillsborough tragedy

The show is presented by George Edwards, who has an extended rant about ticket pricing, and he is joined by The Maradona Of The Midlands. Jamie Martin is at the 1865 news desk, and we also hear from Ellie Molloson about sexist chanting, and Pete Hillier about the Hillsborough anniversary.

We will be back with a match report after the weekend six-pointer against Everton.

Nottingham Forest 2-2 Wolverhampton Wanderers: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 05:00:00 -0000

It definitely felt like two points dropped, despite the Reds actually scoring from a corner, and fighting back from conceding a poor goal to take the lead. The old Achilles heel of set pieces hit us again as the defence failed to defend and the keeper could have done more. In the end, it was honours even and no-one was really happy.

Steven Toplis presents the match report, along with Tom Newton, and we also hear from Dave of the Talking Wolves channel, after a game that was marred by offensive chanting and abuse towards players (one in particular, and his partner) that was not commented upon in the media. We'll be back with our regular news roundup on Friday, and at Everton next weekend.

Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 08 Apr 2024 18:58:31 -0000

In reality, the best team won, although it was a match that seemed to hang on a series of incidents: Murillo's own goal, Chris Wood's miss, Maddison's punch and Spurs' half-time subs. After a slow start, Forest actually played quite well for much of the first half, but the natural order was restored in the second period.

Rich Ferraro and George Edwards report on the game, with contributions from Tom Newton and JP from The Cheese Room Podcast. We'll be back on Friday with our weekly news roundup, featuring reflections on Everton's additional two-point deduction and remembering Joe Kinnear - in the meantime, thanks for listening.

Nottingham Forest 3-1 Fulham: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 04 Apr 2024 05:00:00 -0000

45 minutes of heaven, followed by 45 minutes of hell - however, Forest scored three goals in the first period and withstood the Fulham offensive in the second half, to earn a welcome three points and make up for the points deducted due to the PSR breach.

The first half was probably the best we have seen from the Reds, with good goals from Hudson-Odoi, Wood and Gibbs-White, who recreated the Forza Garibaldi banner with his fingers-in-ears celebration. Steven Toplis and George Edwards review the action, and we'll be back on Friday with our latest news roundup.

Nottingham Forest 1-1 Crystal Palace: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 31 Mar 2024 07:30:51 -0000

A draw wasn't the result that we wanted, but was enough to pull the Reds out of the relegation zone on goal difference. It could have been so much worse as a tepid first half performance drew the ire of the fans, but the introduction of Gio Reyna on 60 minutes brought instant dividends, as the young American fed Morgan Gibbs-White, who in turn played it into the box where Chris Wood's clever header drew Forest level.

On the day that Forest fans got to say goodbye to Larry Lloyd, Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to talk about tactics, substitutions and the magic of having a proper striker with proper wingers either side. We also discuss South Americans playing on the edge, the need for belief from the players and fans, and whether it is an advantage to revert to a Championship football mentality.

Nottingham Forest receive 4 point PSR deduction: an 1865 Podcast Special

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 06:00:00 -0000

At the end of a tempestuous week for Nottingham Forest Football Club, we take some time to reflect upon the four point deduction imposed by an independent commission and what impact it could have on the Reds' season, and indeed for the wider world of football (especially as Leicester are in trouble and Everton await their next punishment).

Should Forest appeal? Has Nick De Marco KC done his job well? Does it matter whether the rules are fair, or does it just matter that Forest broke them? And on the pitch, after failing to beat Luton, do the Reds have enough to beat their rivals to stay in the Premier League, despite their vastly different expenditure?

Presented by Rich Ferraro with Baz, George Edwards and Steven Toplis, with assistance from the 1865 Podcat and Producer Romeo. Our next podcast will be the Friday 5 news bulletin at the end of the week, and we will have reports after the crucial home games against Palace and Fulham - thanks for joining us.

It's been a big week for Nottingham Forest Football Club, as they digest the four point deduction handed down for breaching profit and sustainability regulations. We will have a special show at the weekend to discuss this in more depth, but in the meantime, here are this week's top five stories:

Forest receive PSR points deduction
Injury updates: Taiwo and Wood
Forest need to sell to avoid future PSR breach?
Murillo to Liverpool?
Atletico Madrid wanted Brennan Johnson

The show is presented by Rich Ferraro, who is joined by The Maradona Of The Midlands.

Luton Town 1-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 18 Mar 2024 09:35:45 -0000

It was so near and yet so far for the Reds, as despite having the best chances, they only scored one goal, before the inevitable sucker punch when Luke Berry scored from (you guessed it) a set piece for Luton. Some fans were angry at the inability to take chances and also the substitutions made by Nuno, which left Forest with five at the back and no striker.

Steven Toplis is joined by Tom Newton to discuss the game, the fallout and what this means for Forest in a week when the club are awaiting their PSR punishment. We will be back on Friday with the latest updates, and will be recording a special podcast during the international break with thoughts on where the Reds go from here.

Brighton & Hove Albion 1-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 15:33:47 -0000

Another disappointing result as Forest had chances, but failed to take them. The truth is, for all the grumbling about the referee not sending of Jakub Moder, the Reds could have played all day and not scored.

George Edwards is joined by Adam and Tom Newton to discuss the game and the ref, and also Nuno's team selection and substitutions, which raised some eyebrows amongst the Forest supporters. The next match is at Luton, which is the very definition of a six-pointer, especially when we may have heard our PSR punishment. We'll be back later in the week with the Friday 5 and your report from Kenilworth Road.

We try and stay polite but the blood pressure was running a bit high on this one, which is already our 50th podcast of the season!

In a show recorded just as Felipe was announcing his decision to leave Forest in the summer, Rich Ferraro is joined by Steven Toplis, Baz and George Edwards to discuss all of the above and more, and we also have Jeremy Davies' regular sketch, a game of Guess That Red, and the thoughts of you, the fans, via our Twitter polls.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Liverpool: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 03 Mar 2024 18:46:14 -0000

For the second time in a few days, a promising display by the Reds but a controversial late winner - but the way that this one went in makes Wednesday's goal look just fine. 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" Baz to discuss the match, and we hear a view from Neil Atkinson of The Anfield Wrap. I hope that the referee Paul Tierney does not have a bakery because there are people in Nottingham and Piraeus who are not happy with him.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Manchester United & The 1865 Friday Five: 1st March 2024

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 01 Mar 2024 09:20:48 -0000

A disappointing result as the Reds conceded a late goal to a set piece (again) to exit the FA Cup. In truth, Forest more than matched the visitors for much of the match, and even though United probably were the better team, the commitment and performance levels from the home team were good.

As well as reporting on the game, Rich Ferraro and The Maradona of the Midlands also discuss the top five news stories from the City Ground, brought to you by Jamie Martin:

PSR hearing starts next week
AFCON injuries
Murillo to Atletico?
New goalkeeping coach
Defeat to Man Utd, Liverpool match this weekend

As you can tell, our reporting deadline meant that we missed the statement from Tom Cartledge, threatening to leave the City Ground - we will discuss that early next week. In the meantime, we will be back with a report on Saturday's big Premier League game as Nuno's Reds pit their wits against Klopp's youngsters.

Aston Villa 4-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 26 Feb 2024 10:55:53 -0000

Forest lost away to an Aston Villa team who look exceptional under Unai Emery, but you could argue that the Reds were once again masters of their own downfall with poor defending leaving them 3-0 down before they even got going. Moussa Niakhate and Morgan Gibbs-White scored either side of the break to give hope to the visitors, but Villa took control again and scored a fourth after more poor defending.

George Edwards and Ellie Molloson report back from the away end at Villa Park, with thoughts about playing the big Senegalese at left-back and the merits of Divock Origi. We also hear from Neil of For The Love of Paul McGrath podcast, with his thoughts on the game and the Reds' prospects.

After a week off, it's the return of the 1865 Friday 5, in which we bring you the top five stories coming out of the City Ground in the last seven days. Rich Ferraro presents, and is joined by the Maradona of the Midlands and Tom Newton to discuss:

Nottingham Forest 2-0 West Ham United: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 19 Feb 2024 06:00:00 -0000

Well, that felt good didn't it? A strong performance by the Reds at home to hapless West Ham was capped by a goal in stoppage time at the end of each half by Taiwo Awoniyi and Callum Hudson-Odoi respectively. Forest had much to be pleased about, and will only wish that they had scored the five or six goals that they threatened, with keeper Alphonse Areola the strongest player for the visitors.

Baz is joined by Adam to discuss the game, the performance, the goals and yet another penalty not give by the ref or VAR. They have kind words for Nico Dominguez and Neco Williams, and speculate whether this could be a turning point. We'll be back with the Friday 5 followed by the Aston Villa report next week - do join us if you can.

Nottingham Forest 2-3 Newcastle United: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 12 Feb 2024 06:00:00 -0000

Annoyingly, frustratingly and disappointingly, Forest's poor home form continues, as despite fighting back twice, poor defending cost them three goals and Newcastle took all three points. The big talking point was the penalty shout when Martin Dubravka clearly made contact with Taiwo Awoniyi in the area, but the ref didn't give anything and VAR chose not to ask him to have a look.

George Edwards was joined by Baz to discuss the Reds' porous backline and the performance levels; we also hear from Jack from the Toon Under Podcast with the Geordie view. We'll be back at the end of the week with our Friday 5 - thanks for listening.

Bournemouth 1-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 05 Feb 2024 19:47:49 -0000

A great goal by Callum Hudson-Odoi was the only real moment of quality in a scrappy game that was epitomised by Phillip Billing's red card for a nasty challenge on the Reds winger. Forest had conceded an early goal in a slow start, and after the late sending off, will feel that they should have got more from the game.

Steven Toplis is joined by Adam after a long journey back from the south coast; we also hear from Bournemouth fan Jon Spark from the Cherries Red Army podcast.

Nottingham Forest 1-2 Arsenal: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 14:42:13 -0000

A defeat that wasn't that surprising on paper, but was disappointing in practice as mistakes at the back (yes, including another one from Matt Turner) cost the Reds two goals. A glimmer of hope came with the return of Taiwo Awoniyi and Antony Elanga, but the former's late goal proved to be nothing more than a consolation.

Baz is joined by Tom Newton for a discussion of the match - key topics include pitchforks, military surveillance equipment and "poppadom wrists". We also get a view from the opposition, from Arsenal fan Chris Harwood, who seems to be more fond of Matt Turner than most Forest fans right now.

Bristol City 0-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 FA Cup Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 28 Jan 2024 09:55:17 -0000

It wasn't exactly the most exciting game, but at least Forest kept their first clean sheet since Nuno Espirito Santo took charge. In reality, there wasn't really much for either keeper to do, with both Danilo and Callum Hudson-Odoi hitting the side netting, and Cameron Pring doing likewise for the hosts. It's back to the City Ground in ten days or so for a replay.

Brentford 3-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 22 Jan 2024 06:00:00 -0000

It was defeat for Forest on Ivan Toney Day, as Ivan Toney's Brentford came back from an early deficit to win the game, with returning hero Ivan Toney unprecedently getting Sky Sports' Player of the Match award before the game even started.

In reality, Forest will be kicking themselves about two of the goals conceded, and it would be nice to have a game where we weren't talking about our goalkeeper. Steven Toplis is joined by Tom Newton to discuss a controversial moment and whether Forest should have got more from the game.

Nottingham Forest 2-2 Blackpool: The 1865 FA Cup Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 08 Jan 2024 08:04:56 -0000

Hmm. 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 to discuss the match.

The Reds recorded their first win over Manchester United in many a year, with goals from Nico Dominguez and Morgan Gibbs-White sandwiching Marcus Rashford's effort (following a goalkeeping ricket from Matt Turner).

Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz and Jeremy Davies to discuss Nuno's game plan with two number 10s, the benefits of counter-attacking and the fate of our hapless goalkeeper. We are joined by Jon from the Magnificent 24_7 Manchester United podcast to provide the view from the away end.

Newcastle United 1-3 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 27 Dec 2023 17:44:46 -0000

It was a wonderful Christmas present for Reds fans as Chris Wood's hat-trick gave the Reds all the points against the striker's former club. Nuno Espirito Santo made a number of changes to his team but targeted pace down the wings and got a deserved win as a result.

Rich Ferraro is joined by George Edwards to discuss the view from the away end and a happy, if long, day for the Forest fans. We get a Geordie view from Jack of the Toon Under Podcast, and we also try and reflect upon what went right, and how the new Head Coach can make sure it wasn't just a flash in the pan.

Nottingham Forest 2-3 Bournemouth: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 24 Dec 2023 18:42:49 -0000

The 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 welcome Jon Sparks from Cherries Red Army with a view from the away end.

Steve Cooper sacked: 1865 Podcast Special

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Tue, 19 Dec 2023 23:16:34 -0000

For 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.

Presented by Rich Ferraro, with a panel of Steven Toplis, Maradona of the Midlands, Tom Newton and Baz, with Ellie, Adam and Producer Romeo. We'll be back with your Friday 5 before the Bournemouth match report

Nottingham Forest 0-2 Tottenham Hotspur: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 16 Dec 2023 15:53:35 -0000

Despite a creditable performance, it was another home defeat for the Reds as they lacked quality in both boxes. Richarlison scored in first half stoppage time before Dejan Kulusevski embarrassed Matt Turner to double the lead. Yves Bissouma's red card could have offered Forest a lifeline, but Harry Toffolo and Neco Williams were unfortunate to be denied by visiting keeper Vicario.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to discuss the game, with a view from the away end by JP from The Cheese Room Podcast. As well as discussing the game, we have to talk about the elephant in the room - relegation is now a plausible threat and the Head Coach's position looks increasingly precarious with each week without a win.

Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 11 Dec 2023 06:00:00 -0000

Steve 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 of the pragmatic approach, and we get a view from Molineux from Dave of the Talking Wolves Podcast.

Fulham 5-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 08 Dec 2023 16:47:38 -0000

It 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 was the gaffer's apologetic wave at the end an acknowledgment that the end is nigh?

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Everton: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 04 Dec 2023 06:00:00 -0000

Losing one home match feels unlucky, losing two in a row feels like something else. The Reds were deservedly defeated in a game where the first goal was clearly going to be important, and after the referee and VAR didn't spot a clear penalty on Ryan Yates, Dwight McNeil made the breakthrough.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Maradona of the Midlands and Adam to discuss a day when nothing really worked for Forest, and the fans booed the team off on 90 minutes, with some accusing the players of a lack of desire, and the gaffer of a lack of ideas. The view from the opposition comes from Mike Richards from The Unholy Trinity Podcast.

Nottingham Forest 2-3 Brighton: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 06:00:00 -0000

Forest suffered a rare home defeat, but in reality Brighton were the better team. Had it not been for a penalty and an, ahem, interesting red card for visiting skipper Lewis Dunk, the Reds would probably have been dead and buried. As it is, they will rue missed chances, with both Morgan Gibbs-White and Ryan Yates wishing they had done better.

Steven and Baz discuss the game, the team selection and the refereeing performance which dominated the post-match discussion; it's fair to say that both sides were pretty unhappy with the performance of Anthony Taylor. We'll be back for the must-win home match against Everton.

Ambulance chasers: The 1865 Nottingham Forest Podcast, November 2023

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 20 Nov 2023 06:00:00 -0000

November's Forest Ramble discussion is here! This month, Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz, Tom and Steven to cover:

Everton receive a points deduction; what does this mean for the Premier League?
Steve Cooper’s game plan - is the Reds’ success contingent upon listening to the gaffer?
What will success look like for Forest this season?

As usual, we will also hear the opinions of you, the listeners, we’ll have our monthly quiz and Jeremy Davies will be along with his latest Sketch. We will also have a quick Her Game Too update from Ellie Molloson, and Tom and the Maradona of the Midlands have an argument about Martin O'Neill.

West Ham 3-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 13 Nov 2023 06:00:00 -0000

West Ham topped and tailed this game with soft goals which gave the hosts all three points. Inbetween, Taiwo Awoniyi and Antony Elanga had equalised, then put the Reds in front, before individual mistakes put the Hammers in control and left Steve Cooper desperately frustrated.

Rich is joined by George who is fresh back from the London Stadium, to discuss the match, the atmosphere and game management. We also hear from Will of We Are West Ham with the opposition view, and the thoughts of you, the Forest fans. We'll be back in the international break to review our progress.

Nottingham Forest 2-0 Aston Villa: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Tue, 07 Nov 2023 08:02:52 -0000

It 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 fair assessment from the away end, and we have a few words for Caiden Storry, the young man who took on the immense responsibility of playing The Last Post in front of 30,000 fans and a worldwide TV audience - well done to Caiden, the fans and players and coaching staff.

Liverpool 3-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 06:00:00 -0000

The 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 Matt Turner lost his head.

Steven Toplis is joined by Tom Newton to review the match, with thoughts on Forest's form and Steve Cooper; we also hear from Neil Atkinson from The Anfield Wrap, sharing his views on the game and an optimistic prognosis for Forest's prospects.

Nottingham Forest 2-2 Luton Town: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 23 Oct 2023 06:00:00 -0000

It was a disppointing outcome following a promising performance. The headlines will show that Chris Wood scored two goals before two late efforts from Luton saw them take a share of the spoils. However, Forest had enough chances to put the match to bed before then, and the fans will feel that a combination of individual mistakes and poor substitutions cost them the win.

Steven is joined by Adam to discuss the match, with emotions running high as it feels like a while since the Reds have had a win. We also hear from Baz with his considered thoughts on the game and get a view from the away end by Luton fan Ryan.

Crystal Palace 0-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 07:00:00 -0000

It ended up honours even in a game that was last on Match of the Day, but Forest will be a bit disappointed not to have taken all three points after creating the better chances. Harry Toffolo had an effort from distance, before Morgan Gibbs-White hit the post, and Murillo almost scored a memorable goal with a mazy dribble and shot that was saved by the keeper. In the second half, Gonzalo Montiel was unlucky with two scissor kicks, but on the other hand, Jean-Philippe Mateta should really have scored and Jesurun Rak-Sakyi had his effort blocked by Toffolo.

Baz is joined by George Edwards, fresh back from Selhurst Park, to discuss the action and the evolution of Forest's style of play, and to discuss how the new squad is shaping up - after a relegation battle last season, are Forest starting to establish themselves in the Premier League?

Nottingham Forest 1-1 Brentford: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Tue, 03 Oct 2023 17:48:15 -0000

The headlines will show that ten man Forest came back to rescue a point, but really the Reds were the better team in the first thirty minutes and should have capitalised. As it was, after Moussa Niakhate's red card, the Bees took the lead with a soft goal - both the Forest defence and Matt Turner should have done better. Luckily, Brentford keeper Flekken had his own moment just a few minutes later, as Nico Dominguez diverted Harry Toffolo's cross to equalise.

Baz and Tom Newton discuss the game, the talking points and which team got the rub of the green on a bad weekend for Premier League officials and VAR. We also hear from Billy The Bee with a view from the away end. We'll be back after the Palace match.

Manchester City 2-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 25 Sep 2023 05:00:00 -0000

After 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 presented by Steven Toplis, with Ellie Molloson fresh back from the away end, and the opposition view coming from Michael of the Perth de la Prem podcast.

Nottingham Forest 1-1 Burnley: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 20 Sep 2023 12:43:36 -0000

A disappointing result at the City Ground, as an attacking looking Reds line-up failed to capitalise, before Burnley took the lead through some neat play down the left presented Zeki Amdouni with his second goal against Forest in just a few weeks. Fortunately, some excellent hold-up play from Taiwo Awoniyi gave the ball to Callum Hudson-Odoi on the corner of the box, and the debutant curled a beauty into the top corner to make it honours even.

Following a night with a red card, disallowed goals and VAR controversies, Baz is joined by Tom to discuss the game, Forest's line-up and future prospects. We are also joined by Joe from TurfCast Podcast with the view from the away end, and our Callum joins us to update on the 25-man Forest squad. We'll be back at the weekend.

Chelsea 0-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 04 Sep 2023 18:08:53 -0000

A fabulous result for Steve Cooper's Reds, as substitute Antony Elanga calmly slotted home on the break after good work by Mangala, Yates and Awoniyi to win the ball and set the winger free. Forest didn't have much possession, but in truth Matt Turner didn't have that much to do, although the Reds will be grateful for Nicholas Jackson's glaring miss.

Steven and Tom report on the Reds' first away victory of the season, which can be summed up by Mauricio Pochettino's (paraphrased) statement that teams that don't score don't win many matches. We also hear from Callum Castel who sums up Forest's very busy transfer window for us.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Burnley: The 1865 Carabao Cup Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 31 Aug 2023 11:19:13 -0000

The Reds made an early exit from the Carabao Cup with a home defeat to Vincent Kompany's Burnley. It wasn't a match to remember, and Zeki Amdouni's 90th minute winner was the first shot on target. Ouch.

George Edwards is in the podcast hotseat for the first time, and is joined by Adam to review the game, and they discuss the game, the shortcomings of the team and the tactics on the night, with a nod to forthcoming games and the forthcoming transfer deadline.

Manchester United 3-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 28 Aug 2023 16:37:27 -0000

It all started so well as very early goals from Taiwo Awoniyi (breaking the record for scoring in consecutive Premier League matches) and Willy Boly fired the Reds into a two-goal lead, but then the home team woke up, with the assistance of one or two refereeing moments; Steve Cooper merely commented how quick the official was to blow the whistle, rather than taking his time.

Steven and Tom discuss the action, the tactics and what it takes for an away team to get a victory at Old Trafford. We are also joined by Callum Castel with another bumper news roundup. We'll be back after the Burnley League Cup match.

Nottingham Forest 2-1 Sheffield United: The 1865 Premier League Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 19 Aug 2023 15:41:45 -0000

The Reds got their first win of the season with a fine late header from Chris Wood. It had looked like Forest were the architects of their own downfall, after taking an early lead through Taiwo Awoniyi's header, they looked good, until they ... well, didn't. The visitors were hoping Gustavo Hamer's equaliser after the break would earn a point, but Stevie Cooper's subs made a difference.

Maradona of the Midlands is joined by Baz and Adam to discuss the action, the tactics and the City Ground atmosphere, as well as what we are learning about the Forest squad. We are also joined by Callum Castel with a bumper news roundup and we thank Chad from the Red Half Of Sheffield for providing a view from the opposition. We'll be back after the Manchester United match.

Arsenal 2-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 14 Aug 2023 08:54:38 -0000

It 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 United.

Crystal Palace 1-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 29 May 2023 17:15:50 -0000

Waka waka eh eh? The game was probably second to the occasion as Forest's army of travelling fans supported the team to an away point. Having scored Forest's first Premier League goal this season, Taiwo Awoniyi also got the last, hitting double figures in his debut Premier League campaign. However, Will Hughes' header deflected off Willy Boly to earn the hosts a point, which meant that everyone was probably happy enough.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Tom and Adam, both fresh back from a long day in the capital, to reflect upon the trip to Selhurst Park and the sense of occasion as the Reds' fans celebrated survival and the players and staff joined in, including Mr Marinakis. We'll be back with our end of season review and a couple of podcast specials over the summer, so stay tuned!

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Arsenal: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 21 May 2023 15:42:46 -0000

THEY DID IT! WE DID IT! Forest preserved their Premier League status with a game to spare, as they defeated Arsenal at the City Ground, destroying the visitors' faint title hopes in the process. The game wasn't massively memorable, but the occasion was immense - the City Ground has never been so loud and the team, staff and fans were jubilant at the final whistle.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to discuss the game, and the genius that is Stevie Cooper. Emilka Forest joins with her views on the atmosphere, celebrations and Mr Marinakis' decision to stick with the gaffer. Callum Castel also joins us to provide the latest news roundup, and there are cameo appearances from Steven and Adam on a jubilant day for the Reds.

Chelsea 2-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 14 May 2023 09:37:28 -0000

A tense and battling performance earned the Reds a point, but for a while it felt like it could have been more. A header in each half from Taiwo Awoniyi put Forest in the lead, then pulled them back into contention, either side of Raheem Sterling's (preventable) brace.

Rich Ferraro is joined by the Maradona of the Midlands to discuss the game, with Callum Castel providing the latest news roundup. Time will tell if this point is enough, but for now the Reds are three points outside of the relegation zone, before next week's big match against Arsenal rounds off the City Ground season.

Nottingham Forest 4-3 Southampton: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Tue, 09 May 2023 20:02:11 -0000

Phew. That was way closer than we would have liked, wasn't it? In the end, three very good goals (two for Awoniyi and one for Danilo), plus a Morgan Gibbs-White penalty, saw Forest take the points despite their best efforts to let Saints back into the match.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Adam to discuss a game that saw the Reds climb three places, and three points, out of the relegation zone, with special mentions for Mangala, Danilo, Awoniyi, Worrall and the almost-goal by Felipe. We also hear from Forest fan Emilka and Southampton fan Chris with their reflections on another special night at the City Ground.

Forest philosophies: The 1865 Nottingham Forest Podcast, April-May 2023

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 06 May 2023 05:00:00 -0000

In our monthly Forest Ramble magazine show, Rich Ferraro is joined by Adam, Steven and Tom to discuss a whole range of Reds issues:

Can the Reds beat the drop and how many points will it take to do it?
Midfield matters and keeper conundrums.
And not for the first time, why so many injuries?

All this and more, as we are joined once again by Jeremy Davies with the 1865 Sketch, we discuss the recent show of solidarity with Hillsborough survivors with Zigger Zagger Pete, and we have another round of our Nottingham Forest quiz.

Brentford 2-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 30 Apr 2023 11:20:55 -0000

The circumstances of this defeat felt particularly damaging as Brentford scored two late goals, the second of which came after Danilo had to come off due to injury, leaving the Reds with ten men. To add insult to injury, the winning goal was checked and Yoann Wissa was actually marginally onside. It had all felt so promising after Danilo had given the Reds the lead on the stroke of half-time.

Baz is joined by Tom Newton to talk about another awayday setback, on a weekend which will likely see Forest back in the drop zone; talking points include tactics, substitutions, goalkeepers, and (once again) injuries. Billy The Bee also joins us from the Beesotted Brentford channel to give his view on the game, and the Reds' chances of survival.

Nottingham Forest 3-1 Brighton and Hove Albion: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 27 Apr 2023 09:42:47 -0000

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.

Liverpool 3-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 23 Apr 2023 14:32:08 -0000

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.

Nottingham Forest 0-2 Manchester United: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 17 Apr 2023 13:40:43 -0000

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.

Aston Villa 2-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 10 Apr 2023 11:21:57 -0000

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.

Leeds United 2-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 05 Apr 2023 18:15:55 -0000

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.

Nottingham Forest 1-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 02 Apr 2023 06:12:50 -0000

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,

Football decisions: The 1865 Nottingham Forest Podcast, March 2023

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 24 Mar 2023 05:00:00 -0000

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.

Nottingham Forest 1-2 Newcastle United: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 18 Mar 2023 17:58:41 -0000

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.

Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 13 Mar 2023 10:38:30 -0000

Another bad away day for the Reds, who were lucky that VAR ruled in their favour after just three minutes, but still fell to another thrashing, this time at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur. Harry Kane scored two and Son Heung Min got the other, with Joe Worrall getting a consolation, and Andre Ayew missing a penalty which would have flattered the Reds.

Steven is joined by Tom, who went to the match and despite sleeping on it, is understandably disgruntled. We also hear from JP from the Cheese Room Spurs channel, who is the cheeriest voice you will hear all week, and our very own Jeremy Davies who was exiled in the home end, and provides his thoughts on the Reds' performance.

Nottingham Forest 2-2 Everton: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 06 Mar 2023 06:00:00 -0000

It was billed as a six-pointer, a must win, so both teams will be equally (dis)satisfied with a point each. Steve Cooper and Forest will be unhappy with the manner of the goals conceded, although Brennan Johnson's brace of goals ensured that the Reds got a share of the spoils.

Rich and Baz discuss the game, Steve Cooper's reaction and the tactical conundrums of how to get the best from the current squad. We are also joined by Mike from The Unholy Trinity Podcast, for a view from the away end.

West Ham 4-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 26 Feb 2023 17:36:34 -0000

A disastrous day for Steve Cooper and the Reds as the gaffer bemoaned the efforts of his team. In reality, he needs to take his share of the blame for a substitution and formation change at 0-0 that backfired badly, and allowed West Ham to score four goals without reply.

Steven hosts, and is joined by Adam, who has fortunately had enough time to calm down a bit after his journey home from east London.

Chris Wood's late equaliser saw Forest grab a point in a match which showcased Steve Cooper's gameplan. The gaffer acknowledged that the Reds had to put their own ambitions to one side for much of this encounter, but subs and tactical changes rattled Pep Guardiola and his team.

Baz and Tom discuss the match, the tactics and the genius of the Forest Head Coach. We also hear from Man City fan Mike from the Perth De La Prem podcast, and Callum Castel joins us with the latest Forest news.

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Leeds United: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 12 Feb 2023 22:09:57 -0000

Forest ground out a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Leeds United in this relegation six-pointer. The result was due in no small part to the heroics of debutant keeper Keylor Navas, and a formation and tactical change at half-time by Stevie Cooper.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to discuss the match, the table and the fixture list as Forest draw a line under a positive six weeks or so, before entering a tricky run of games.

Fulham 2-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

Forest 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. NB This episode was republished after an edit for a naughty word.

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 03 Feb 2023 09:18:23 -0000

The 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. Presented by Steven Toplis, and our man at Old Trafford, Adam; Callum Castel provides the news roundup.

Forest’s summer transfer business: did we manage more hits than misses?
Do we salute to Hennessy as the Reds’s number 2, or should we sign a new custodian while Hendo’s on the mendo?
There is a real Brazilian influence on the team - will the Big D get Reds fans excited?

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 26 Jan 2023 18:51:35 -0000

Forest were comprehensively beaten in the end by a Manchester United team who took an early lead through Marcus Rashford, before goals at the end of each half by Weghorst and Fernandes sealed the deal. However, the Reds did have a really good spell in the first half, and it could have been so different if Sam Surridge's equaliser had stood when Forest were 1-0 down; as it was, VAR ruled that the striker's shoelace was offside.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to discuss the game, making comparisons with last month's 3-0 defeat to the same opponents, and discussing disallowed goals, Danilo, Dennis and defending.

A 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 YouTube channel. Thanks for listening, we'll be back after the Carabao Cup tie against Manchester United.

Nottingham Forest 2-0 Leicester City: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 15 Jan 2023 10:34:54 -0000

This felt like a symbolic result after Forest got battered at the King Power Stadium a few months ago, as a measure of how far the Reds have come. Two goals from Brennan Johnson decided the match, the first after VAR intervened on an offside call, and the second from a frankly sexy counter-attack.

Rich Ferraro and Baz discuss the game, the injuries and Forest's newfound status as a mid-table Premier League team (but it's still pretty tight down there). We also have honourable mentions for Renan Lodi, Serge Aurier and of course Gibbs-White, Johnson and that man Stevie Cooper. Thanks for listening as always, we'll be back after the Bournemouth game.

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 12 Jan 2023 19:52:50 -0000

A dramatic night at the City Ground saw tempers flare, especially at the end after Forest won a penalty shootout to progress to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup. Wolves will argue that they were marginally the better team in normal time, forcing a number of saves from Dean Henderson and having a penalty claim that falls into the "seen them given" category.

Baz presents our match report alongside Tom Newton, whose voice was still recovering! Adam also chips in with his views on the Morgan Gibbs-White controversy (if you can call it that). Join us again at the weekend for our report on the Leicester match.

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 09 Jan 2023 13:21:48 -0000

Eleven 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 changes will Steve Cooper make this time?

Southampton 0-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 05 Jan 2023 15:51:40 -0000

It was a big night for Forest - not quite must-win, but certainly must-not-lose against bottom of the table Southampton. The Reds (wearing yellow) duly took all three points, courtesy of Taiwo Awoniyi's first half goal. Although the away team did not play amazingly, the Saints could offer absolutely nothing and Dean Henderson didn't have to make a save as Forest got their first away win this century in the Premier League.

Baz presents this match report, and is joined by a still-hoarse Tom Newton, fresh back from St Mary's to discuss Taiwo, Scarpa and the back four; we also hear from some disgruntled Saints fans. We'll be back with reports after our two forthcoming cup ties.

Nottingham Forest 1-1 Chelsea: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 02 Jan 2023 18:23:24 -0000

It 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 the match, in particular the Reds' second half showing, and thinking ahead to the midweek six-pointer against Southampton; we'll be back after the match at St Mary's.

Manchester United 3-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 28 Dec 2022 20:05:43 -0000

It was a comfortable victory for the home team as Forest huffed and puffed, but provided very little threat to the Manchester United goal. First half efforts in quick succession from Marcus Rashford and Antony Martial effectively killed the game, although things could have been different if one of Ryan Yates' efforts had crept in; the first was saved, and the second snuck in off the leg of Willy Boly, who was in an offside position.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to review the match and there is a view from the home end by Man United fan Steven Barnes. We also have a think about the home and away dichotomy, and analyse Steve Cooper's post-match comments where he considered the difference in levels between Championship and Premier League.

In the end it was a convincing and comfortable victory for the Reds, who put out a strong XI against Blackburn's much-changed team. Brennan Johnson got two goals and put in a strong showing, with Jesse Lingard also causing problems, and scoring a goal with a double deflection. JLingz also set up Taiwo Awoniyi's goal with a great pass which the Nigerian complemented with a good cut inside and finish.

Rich Ferraro is joined by guest reporter George Edwards to review the match and there is a view from the home end by Dan from Rovers Chat. We also take a few minutes to reflect upon the news that Forest will be sporting the UN Refugee Agency's logo on their kits for the rest of the season, starting from New Year's Day.

The World Cup is over, and for thousands of Nottingham Forest fans, we are getting back to business! Some Reds have been playing on the global stage, whilst Steve Cooper gets a midwinter preseason with the remaining players, including several friendly games.

In this month's Forest Ramble, we:

Say a big hello to Gustavo Scarpa, and look forward to how he might fit into the Forest team
Talk about the gaffer's love for the club and his preparations for the second part of the season
Look at the Reds players at the World Cup and give praise to a first-teamer and a loan ranger
All this, and we still have time to hear the opinions of you, the fans, as well as hearing from Jeremy Davies with the 1865 Sketch, and another game of Guess That Red.

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 18 Nov 2022 16:25:23 -0000

As the season pauses for the World Cup in Qatar, we return with another Forest Ramble, in which we discuss events at the City Ground over the last few weeks:

The on-pitch progress made by the Reds
How much of a boost has Steve Cooper’s new contract given to players, fans and the club more widely?
Are the new signings finally bedding in?
Can Morgan Gibbs-White, Jesse Lingard and Brennan Johnson really play in the same team?

We will also have our regular sketch from Jeremy Davies; we will hear from you, the fans; and we will have a game of Guess That Red - all in this episode of 1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast. Presented by Rich Ferraro, with Steven Toplis, Baz, Adam and news roundup from Callum Castel.

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Crystal Palace: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 13 Nov 2022 14:59:06 -0000

Forest got a home win against Crystal Palace to round off the first part of the Premier League season before the World Cup break. The result was crucial because it took the Reds off the bottom of the table, and it also means that the Reds have surpassed the points record of Derby County's Worst Team In History, with well over half the season to go!

Rich Ferraro is joined by the Maradona of the Midlands to talk about team selection and tactics, VAR, and why Stevie Cooper is such a gem. We also hear from Jim of the Five Year Plan podcast, to give a view from the away end. We'll be back to sum up the first half(ish) of the season before the World Cup begins - stay tuned!

Nottingham Forest 2-0 Tottenham Hotspur: The 1865 Carabao Cup Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 10 Nov 2022 17:01:00 -0000

It was a satisfying night at the City Ground, as Steve Cooper's much-changed team put a strong Tottenham side out of the Carabao Cup. Renan Lodi and Jesse Lingard both scored their first Forest goals, and it could have been more, before Orel Mangala saw red for a second bookable offence.

Adam reports back, fresh from the City Ground, reporting on performances, goals, and his wife attending her first Forest match, only to be reduced to the role of "designated Bovril holder". Sorry, Mrs A. We'll be back with a full-length match report after the Palace match.

Nottingham Forest 2-2 Brentford: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 06 Nov 2022 16:50:41 -0000

A 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 mostly positive performance give us hope? We also hear from Billy Grant of the Beesotted podcast, for a view from the away end.

Arsenal 5-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 31 Oct 2022 08:38:00 -0000

Steve Cooper could not hide his emotions as Forest crumbled in the second half to lose by five goals to league leaders Arsenal. The Head Coach was understandably annoyed that, having mostly followed the game plan in the first half, his players threw it out of the window with a lack of the basics - hard work and application.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Tom Newton, who was rather vexed that the fans turned up, but the players didn't. We discuss what the plan might have been and what Forest will need to do to avoid the drop this season. We are also joined by Bob from The Away Gooners YouTube channel, who gives his thoughts on the match and Forest's prospects.

Tactical Reset: The 1865 Nottingham Forest Podcast, October 2022

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 29 Oct 2022 12:50:48 -0000

It's the return of the 1865 Forest Ramble! In our monthly discussion show, we take the time to have a chat about Steve Cooper and his role in plugging our leaky defence; off-pitch matters, with the arrival of Filippo Giraldi and dismissal of Andy Scott and George Syrianos; and we take the time to discuss the accusations of offensive chanting by Forest supporters in the Liverpool match, with our guest Zigger Zagger.

Rich Ferraro presents, and is joined by Steven, Tom, Adam and Baz to talk about the key issues of the last month or so, and also to play a game of Guess That Red. We are also delighted for the return of Jeremy Davies with the 1865 Sketch, on the perils of supporting your team via live text.

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Liverpool: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 22 Oct 2022 19:01:30 -0000

A great victory for the Reds, as Taiwo Awoniyi's goal against his former club was enough to defeat Liverpool. Morgan Gibbs-White and Ryan Yates could have added to the lead before Dean Henderson made several late saves to preserve the points.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to discuss the match, the tactics and notable performances from the likes of Kouyate, Yates and Awoniyi, although the whole team performed well. We also discuss Steve Cooper's tactical plan and how the players seem to be working as a unit - does this give the Reds a chance of avoiding the drop this season?

Brighton and Hove Albion 0-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 21:00:00 -0000

Not 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 Brighton also joins us to discuss a game which won't live long in the memory, but which was kind of fun in its own way.

Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 16 Oct 2022 16:40:00 -0000

Is it too early for this to count as a six-pointer? It was certainly a bitterly disappointing result as Wolverhampton Wanderers, lowest scorers in the league, managed to beat Forest in a tale of two penalties; Ruben Neves made his spot-kick count, while Brennan Johnson saw his effort saved by the one-armed Jose Sa.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Steven Toplis to discuss the game, the performance, the lack of composure, and to ponder on Steve Cooper's post-match thoughts - the gaffer certainly doesn't seem to be shying away from the challenge. We also hear from Wolves fan Matt Langham, who has some kind words for the Reds after a match in which neither team looked that sharp. Finally, Callum Castel provides the 1865 news roundup, prompting Rich and Steven to have a brief discussion over what is really happening at the City Ground.

Nottingham Forest 1-1 Aston Villa: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Tue, 11 Oct 2022 18:26:27 -0000

It was the first chance for Reds fans to show their appreciation to Stevie Cooper since he signed his new contract, and the players alos showed their love for the gaffer with a much improved performance. Villa have problems of their own, but aside from Ashley Young's rocket, rarely posed any real threat.

Rich Ferraro and Baz take time to dissect the action, and reflect upon Cooper's team selection and tactical approach, and how this gave the Reds some much needed spine. We also have praise for a number of players including Morgan Gibbs-White and Emmanuel Dennis. The view from the away end comes from Neil, the host of For The Love of Paul McGrath podcast.

Steve Cooper IN, Dane Murphy IN, Filippo Giraldi IN: 1865 Podcast Special

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 09 Oct 2022 11:15:58 -0000

A rollercoaster week at the City Ground, which started with Forest slumping to the bottom of the table and speculation that both Steve Cooper and Dane Murphy were facing the sack, but ended with a new Sporting Director, but the CEO retaining his position and the Head Coach signing a new contract which ostensibly keeps him at the City Ground until 2025.

Rich Ferraro is joined by the Maradona of the Midlands to discuss the ups and downs of the past week, and we dip into the collective wisdom of our podcast crew, with Callum and Tom making radio appearances to discuss the gaffer and Adam sharing his reasons why it was the right thing to do to extend Cooper's stay.

We also preview Monday's encounter against Aston Villa, which arguably takes on a new lease of life as the fans show their support for the Reds' gaffer. We'll be back with a match report after the game.

Leicester City 4-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Tue, 04 Oct 2022 21:50:52 -0000

Another painful and humbling night for the Reds, as Steve Cooper's men endured a torrid first half, conceding three goals in quick succession. The second half saw some improvement, but in truth it was difficult to say whether this was real, or just the consequence of the hosts having a commanding lead.

Steven Toplis and Tom Newton report after their visit to the King Power Stadium, discussing the game and the speculation over the future of Forest's Head Coach.

Forest's best XI: The 1865 Nottingham Forest Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 25 Sep 2022 11:12:23 -0000

As Steve Cooper marks his first anniversary as the Nottingham Forest Head Coach, Rich Ferraro is joined by the Maradona of the Midlands to think about Forest can make the most of their newly-assembled squad. We hear from regular pundits Adam, Baz and Steven with their first choice Reds line-ups, and you might not be surprised to find out what they think about playing a back three.

We also have a news round-up from Callum Castel, including some of the speculation about a possible new Sporting Director to work alongside Steve Cooper, and the panel discuss whether that means that Forest are thinking about ways to strategically and practically support the gaffer as Forest adjust to top level football.

Nottingham Forest 2-3 Fulham: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 17 Sep 2022 15:38:00 -0000

The history books will show that, for the second game running, the Reds relinquished a half-time lead, and conceded three second half goals, as well as all three points. In reality, they showed a bit more to offer this time around, although Steve Cooper had to concede that there is a lot of room for improvement in terms of getting the team to gel and maintaining composure.

Baz is joined by Tom Newton to discuss the game, team selections, tactics, formations and substitutions. Amongst other key questions, what difference did it make playing with a number nine, did Forest look better with a back four, and how come Lewis O'Brien was so much more effective than both Ryan Yates and Remo Freuler?

First month back: The 1865 Nottingham Forest Podcast, September 2022

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 11 Sep 2022 09:17:20 -0000

In an episode recorded before the announcement of the Queen's passing, our panel have a deep dive into the Reds' first few weeks back in the big time. It's fair to say that it has been a whirlwind, and results have been a mixed bag; a good win and away point at Everton were counterbalanced by a tough first day at Newcastle, a good performance but defeat against Tottenham, and a really disappointing day at the office against Bournemouth.

Steven Toplis leads the discussion, joined by Adam, Baz and Tom Newton; as usual for our monthly discussion, Jeremy Davies also pops in with his regular sketch. With the extended break, hopefully players like Mangala and Niakhate can return to fitness, and the Reds can have some valuable time to gel. We'll bring you a match report after the Fulham game.

Nottingham Forest 2-3 AFC Bournemouth: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 04 Sep 2022 10:26:16 -0000

This one felt far worse than being hit for six by Man City, as the Reds lost the battles on and off the pitch against one of our rivals (at least in terms of possible league positions). With Scott Parker gone, Gary O'Neil showed tactical awareness by changing formations and approach in the second half, and Steve Cooper and his team were simply unable to respond.

It had all felt so good at half-time as well, with Brennan Johnson's spot kick adding to Cheikhou Kouyate's header (from a corner!), but Phil Billing's 30 yard rocket swung the momentum back towards the visitors early in the second half, as the Reds lost the physical and tactical battles.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to discuss the game from a Reds perspective, with a view from the away end coming from Kirk of the Cherries Red Army. We are also joined by Callum Castel-Nuovo with a round up of the Forest news.

Manchester City 6-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 02 Sep 2022 06:58:47 -0000

It was a humbling night for Steve Cooper's Reds at the Etihad, where they were soundly beaten by the world's best coach, best striker, and then they brought the best midfielder off the bench. The key thing here is that City were just too good, but Forest's gaffer admitted afterwards that the away side were naive and there was much to learn.

Baz is joined by Tom Newton, fresh back from Manchester, to offer a post-mortem on the game. We also hear from Mike Passaris from the Perth De La Prem podcast, offering the Man City perspective. In an episode recorded before last night's transfer deadline, we also hear some thoughts on the rumours circulating around the City Ground.

Nottingham Forest 0-2 Tottenham Hotspur: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 29 Aug 2022 07:40:06 -0000

It was a disappointing defeat but positive performance from Steve Cooper's men, as the opposition showed what a difference a striker can make. Forest had chances, most notably from Ryan Yates and Neco Williams, but apart from Lewis O'Brien's long-range effort, Hugo Lloris did not have a save to make. On the other hand, Harry Kane had three chances, and although his penalty was well-saved, he was clinical in scoring a brace.

Rich Ferraro is joined by the Maradona of the Midlands to discuss team selection, physicality and Richarlison's antics. We also hear from Spurs fan HG of the Cheese Room Podcast, listen in to our Tom on BBC 5Live, and get the latest Forest news roundup from Callum Castel-Nuovo.

Grimsby Town 0-3 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Carabao Cup Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 24 Aug 2022 06:22:27 -0000

The Reds made the trip to Blundell Park, ate their chippy tea and made eleven changes to the starting line up as Steve Cooper took the opportunity to get minutes into the legs of some players. Ryan Yates, Remo Freuler and Guilian Biancone put themselves back in the mix; Emmanuel Dennis, Sam Surridge and Loic Mbe Soh will have appreciated the minutes; and for youngsters such as Aaron Donnelly and Zach Abbott, it will have been a dream come true (Abbott gets his GCSE results this week!).

Guest reporter George Edwards shares his thoughts on the game, fresh from his evening out at the seaside, as impressive first half finishes from Yates and Surridge gave control to the Reds, before Grimsby came back at us and we needed Surridge's second goal of the night to put the game to bed.

Two late goals at Goodison swung the pendulum towards the Reds, before Everton got a share of the spoils. Steven Toplis is joined by Adam the Cycling Defender, fresh from the game, to discuss the game, the performance and the atmosphere, as Forest got their first away points in the Premier League since 1999.

We are also joined by Mike from the Unholy Trinity Everton podcast, who gives us the view from the home fans, and as usual Callum Castel-Nuovo pops in to give us another Nottingham Forest news roundup after another hectic week of transfers (hi Morgan!).

We're back baby! On a scorching hot day with a scorching hot atmosphere, Nottingham Forest recorded their first Premier League victory in 23 years!

In this extended match report, Rich Ferraro talks to the Maradona of the Midlands about VAR, yellow cards, tactics and Taiwo. There are also kind words for Henderson, Toffolo, O'Brien and Mangala, amongst others.

The Premier League is almost here! 1865 season preview

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 01 Aug 2022 08:31:24 -0000

Nottingham Forest are about to start their first Premier League this century, and we are here for it! In our preseason preview, Rich Ferraro is joined by Tom Newton, Steven Toplis and the Maradona of the Midlands to discuss transfers (in and out), the ground redevelopment proposal, and reflect upon a busy summer for the club hierarchy. The headlines were grabbed by the capture of Jesse Lingard, and our Adam spoke to BBC 5Live's Juliette Ferrington to share his excitement, but there have been 11 (ELEVEN) other additions and probably more to come.

In addition, we hear from City Ground Stadium Announcer Mark Dennison, as he looks forward to plying his trade in the top flight - will we still be hearing Freed From Desire and Just Can't Get Enough? We also have the return of our old friend Jeremy Davies (JDingz) with the 1865 Sketch, and introduce our news reporter Callum Castel-Nuovo.

1865 meets Mark Dennison and Nick Miller

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 06 Jun 2022 11:00:00 -0000

In this podcast extra, we bring you the full interviews with our recent guests City Ground Stadium Announcer Mark Dennison and football writer Nick Miller.

Mark brings you the ins and outs of the big day out at Wembley, the mild panic about Steve Cook's fruity language at Slab Square, and the joys of working at the City Ground in a historic season for the club. We also take a few minutes to show our appreciation for Radio Nottingham's Forest commentator, the marvellous Colin Fray.

Nick tells us about his experience as a fan on the day, and whether this would count as his greatest ever day as a Forest supporter. We also discuss the accusations of media bias, and that the press wanted the Reds to go up - no spoilers here, but journalists love a good story. Finally, we also discuss whether that rainy night at Ashton Gate was the turning point in Forest's season.

We have one more podcast coming up for you this season, with our Premier League Quiz. In the meantime, thank you to Mark and Nick, and thank you for listening.

FOREST ARE IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE! Huddersfield 0-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 30 May 2022 07:38:01 -0000

It was the big day out and Forest have done it! A first half own goal from Levi Colwill, under pressure from Ryan Yates, gave the Reds a slender advantage. In truth Forest were the better team in the first half and Yates should have given them the lead with a header which went just wide. Naturally, the Terriers came back at us, and although they didn't have many clear efforts on goal, they will feel aggrieved that they didn't get at least one penalty, even with VAR.

On a special day, we have a special match report, with Rich Ferraro and Baz bringing you thoughts and reflections from before, during and after the game, along with roving reporter the Maradona of the Midlands, and some of the atmosphere from the Red end of Wembley - do visit our social media for more clips (see link below).

Forest are in the playoff final! The 1865 Nottingham Forest Podcast, May 2022

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 26 May 2022 19:27:42 -0000

*Apologies to podcast subscribers using Apple. There was a problem with our feed but hopefully this has now been fixed. This podcast was initially published on Monday 23rd May, and we hope you can still enjoy it before the big day out at Wembley*

No-one saw this coming eight months ago - Forest are on their way to Wembley to play in their first ever playoff final! Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz, Steven Toplis, The Maradona Of The Midlands and Tom Newton to discuss the rollercoaster of emotions during and after the semi-finals against Sheffield United, and whether we have "pre-traumatic stress disorder" (c. Nick Miller, 2022). Naturally, we discuss the importance of belief and PMA (positive mental attitude).

We are joined by guests including Hal from The Sheffield United Way to reflect upon the semi-final, and the aftermatch shenanigans; and Brady from And He Takes That Chance to get the lowdown on what Forest should expect from The Terriers at Wembley.

We'll be back after the big match with a review of the match, and end-of-term debrief. By the time the season is over we will have recorded 75 podcasts this season; thank you so much for joining us.

EFL Playoff Semi Final 2nd leg: Nottingham Forest 1-2 Sheffield United (Forest win 3-2 on penalties)

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 18 May 2022 05:00:00 -0000

A dramatic night at the City Ground, as Sheffield United produced a spirited performance to beat the Reds 2-1 on the night, which meant extra time and eventually penalties. Brennan Johnson emulated his dad by scoring in both legs of a play-off semi final against the Blades, but second half goals from Morgan Gibbs-White and John Fleck meant that it was honours even on aggregate. Brice Samba was the hero, with a save late in extra time to deny Iliman Ndiaye a certain winner, and then three penalty saves in the shootout; Johnson, Cafu and Cook all buried their spotkicks before Joe Lolley's miss for the Reds, but Samba denied Gibbs-White to prompt a pitch invasion.

Rich Ferraro and Baz report on the good, the bad and the ugly (the Billy Sharp incident), with sore throats and aching heads having just returned from the match. We will have more considered thoughts for you at the weekend, when we will also preview the play-off final! See you at Wembley.

EFL Playoff Semi Final: Sheffield United 1-2 Nottingham Forest

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 15 May 2022 13:11:00 -0000

A scintillating Forest performance saw the Reds carry a slender advantage into Tuesday's home leg. In truth, the away team should have put the match to bed in the first half, with a number of good chances bringing near misses and decent saves from Wes Foderingham (especially the double save from Surridge and Johnson).

However, Forest will be delighted, having taken an early lead from Jack Colback and then doubled the advantage with Brennan Johnson's cool finish after good work from Joe Lolley. Sander Berge scored a soft late goal from a corner to give the Blades hope for the second leg (and give Paul Heckingbottom the chance to engage in some amateur mind games), but if Forest can reproduce their attacking display from today, they will be confident about the prospects of making the final.

Tom Newton was at the game, and reports back in conversation with Steven Toplis.

Nottingham Forest vs Sheffield United: the play-offs revisited

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 13 May 2022 07:00:00 -0000

If you're of a nervous disposition, you might want to give this one a miss! A couple of years ago, during the nationwide lockdown, Rich Ferraro, Steven Toplis and the Maradona of the Midlands reviewed Forest's previous play-off campaigns, including the classic but heartbreaking encounters with Sheffield United in 2003.

We'll be back with our match reports from both of this year's semi-finals against the Blades, and will be hoping for better fortune this time.

"No more 2003": The 1865 Nottingham Forest Podcast, March 2022

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 11 May 2022 07:00:00 -0000

Sheffield United in a two-legged Championship play-off semi-final? Nothing can go wrong there, can it? In our 70th podcast of the season (phew), we review the season just gone, thinking about the Steve Cooper Revolution, and how his tactics and management have made such a huge difference to our team's fortunes; we hear from a Blades fan and discuss how we definitely don't have PTSD from 19 years ago; and on a more positive note we choose our goals of the season, and players of the season.

Even amongst all of that, there is time for a discussion about VAR and whether it would have made a positive difference to Forest's season, as well as hearing from Jeremy Davies with his final sketch this term. We also have time for some news from Fanhub and our final giveaway of the season: we will give out some Forest mugs, courtesy of our friends at The Terrace - just post a lovely review of our podcast on your app of choice, and send us a screenshot to forestramble@gmail.com by 6pm on Friday 20th May, and we will select four lucky winners that weekend.

Hull City 1-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 08 May 2022 08:30:55 -0000

After a sterling run of results throughout April, some Reds fans would say that this has been a disappointing week to end the season, but in the space of 39 games Steve Cooper has turned the Reds around from relegation certainties to a place in the play-offs, where they will face Sheffield United.

Rich Ferraro and Tom Newton discuss the performance of a much-changed Forest team, as the gaffer took the chance to rest many of his first choice XI (and he said that most of them were carrying injuries). As a result, the performance had an end-of-season, slightly disjointed feel, but the away side will still feel like they should have won the game as they took the lead through Brennan Johnson's stoppage time penalty, before Lewie Coyle (or was it Keane Lewis-Potter?) equalised for Hull just a minute later to consign the Reds to fourth position and a trip to Bramall Lane. We also hear the views of YouTuber Old Grandpa Joe, providing a Hull City perspective.

AFC Bournemouth 1-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 04 May 2022 09:02:08 -0000

The automatic promotion dream came to an end as Bournemouth's second half performance saw them take the points with a late goal from Kieffer Moore, who always scores against Forest. The Reds had some cause to be aggrieved after the linesman's flag wrongly denied them a certain penalty, and Steve Cooper was not impressed when the officials apologised to him afterwards.

Steven Toplis and Baz review the match and the Reds' performance. In truth, the best team won on the night and you cannot argue that Bournemouth don't deserve it over 46 games - congratulations to them. We also send our very best wishes to Steve Cook and his family, after the awful news of Cookie Sr's cardiac arrest just before the game. Get well soon.

Nottingham Forest 5-1 Swansea City: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 01 May 2022 10:29:35 -0000

A thumping victory from the Reds, but it could and should have been more. On a day when Bournemouth remained in pole position, Forest ensured that they were keeping the pressure on for the final automatic promotion place. Sam Surridge's hat-trick was the highlight, with Cyrus Christie's farcical own goal and Alex Mighten's scrambled effort ensuring that the Reds kept a healthy goal difference, as this could still be crucial.

In this extended podcast, Rich Ferraro and Baz discuss a first half that was frankly insane, a second period in which Forest stamped their authority on the game, and the atmosphere before, during and after the match. We also discuss how the Reds will be feeling, and whether Bournemouth are rattled, before Tuesday night's head-to=head encounter, in what is surely the Reds' biggest game in years.

Fulham 0-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 27 Apr 2022 10:05:39 -0000

An outstanding night for Forest as they battled and fought their way to a clean sheet and an excellent three points away to champions-elect Fulham. Philip Zinckernagel's scrambled goal (with an assist from the gaffer) was enough to secure the points, but that only tells half the story.

Steven Toplis and Tom Newton discuss a famous night for Forest, with a home fans' view from Matt from the Fulham Focus podcast. The Reds are now within three points of second-placed Bournemouth, and level on goal difference; one game at a time ... one game at a time...

Peterborough United 0-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 24 Apr 2022 20:56:13 -0000

A narrow win for Forest drew them one step closer to the play-offs but relegated plucky Peterborough United. Sam Surridge's goal just before half-time came after excellent work on the counter-attack from Philip Zinckernagel and Brennan Johnson, and despite the home team's continued efforts, Forest had enough to see the game out.

The Maradona of the Midlands and Steven Toplis report on a victory that was very different from last week's thumping win over West Bromwich Albion.

Nottingham Forest 4-0 West Bromwich Albion: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Tue, 19 Apr 2022 11:31:31 -0000

A thumping victory for Steve Cooper's Reds, as they bounced back from Good Friday defeat against Luton Town. Forest completely controlled most of the match, and goals from Johnson, Yates, Colback and Surridge grabbed the points. Jack Colback's effort has gone viral as a goal of the season contender, but did he really mean it?

The visitors were bad-tempered, and although Steve Bruce grumbled about the incorrect award of a throw-in, it is difficult to overstate how poor his tactical setup was, even before Darnell Furlong's early red card for two bookings. The second half was not exciting to watch, but again, the Reds were in control as the Baggies barely got into the Forest half.

Rich Ferraro and Steven Toplis review the match, with a view from the away end from Louis of the Baggies Podcast.

Luton Town 1-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 15 Apr 2022 20:30:35 -0000

The referee and his team took centre stage at Kenilworth Road, as a controversial penalty and some baffling decisions left Steve Cooper furious. Forest had decent chances but Grabban and Zinckernagel will both feel that they should have done better, while Djed Spence's goal was wrongly ruled out for offside (yes, the rules are odd, but that doesn't mean that they shouldn't be enforced). Luton suffered themselves, as Sonny Bradley received a second yellow card when Sam Surridge should have been called offside.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Luton supporter Ryan McCole to get a view from the opposition, and Tom Newton also joins the discussion, fresh from the away end at Kenilworth Road. Can the Reds pick themselves up and go again on Monday?

Nottingham Forest 2-0 Birmingham City: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 10 Apr 2022 06:00:00 -0000

Steve Cooper's Mighty Reds ascended to third in the league, albeit in a match overshadowed by a serious-looking injury to visiting keeper Neil Etheridge. Forest took an early lead with Keinan Davis' blasted finish, although that only told part of the story as the build up evoked memories of the Chuckle Brothers and the Isley Brothers. After Etheridge was stretchered off midway through the second period, the mighty Scott McKenna sealed the points with a header from Jimmy Garner's corner.

Rich Ferraro and Baz review the match, with a view from the away end from Tom of the Blues Focus Podcast. Rich and Baz then dare to dream - with five consecutive victories, favourable results elsewhere, and second-placed Bournemouth having a tricky run-in, can the Reds really challenge for automatic promotion?

Nottingham Forest 2-0 Coventry City: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 07 Apr 2022 12:48:08 -0000

Another hard-fought victory from the Reds, perhaps lacking in style and panache but making up for that with grit and determination, against a decent Coventry team and a baffling referee. After the match, Steve Cooper claimed that he wasn't aware that this win put Forest in the play-off places! However, he did comment on the need to keep up the momentum, not only in results but also playing style and game plan.

Blackpool 1-4 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 03 Apr 2022 12:04:59 -0000

A real statement victory from the Reds, as they were ruthless in the first half against a Blackpool team who will have had their own play-off ambitions. An early deflected effort by Philip Zinckernagel was added to by two brilliantly taken goals from man-of-the-moment Brennan Johnson. We also have kind words to say about the whole team, but there is a special mention for Scott McKenna, who is still supposed to be injured!

Rich Ferraro is joined by Adam, who had just returned from his day out at the seaside, as we discuss all the action, the post-match reactions from the two managers, and we are pleased to offer praise to the referee!

"Five Year Plan": The 1865 Nottingham Forest Podcast, March 2022

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 28 Mar 2022 15:18:41 -0000

As we get to the business end of the season, Rich Ferraro is joined by Steven Toplis, Tom Newton and Baz to reflect on Forest's current prospects. In the wake of good league form and after an unfortunate cup exit, do Steve Cooper's squad have enough physical and mental resources to gain a top six finish (or better)?

Also this month, we talk about the wonderful atmosphere at the City Ground, with guest contributor Stuart Levy, and talk about a few off-the-pitch issues, such as the Fans' Q&A sessions and a new appointment to the club's board of directors. All this, and we have a game of Guess That Red, Jeremy Davies' 1865 Sketch, and another competition courtesy of our sponsors The Terrace: listen to the podcast and email your answer to forestramble@gmail.com by 6pm on Friday 1st April.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Liverpool: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 21 Mar 2022 12:27:49 -0000

Gutted but proud, Steve Cooper's Reds gave Liverpool a run for their money and could have snatched a result.

In the tightest quarter-final of the weekend, Forest had enough chances to win this but were thwarted by a well-taken goal by Diogo Jota, just after Philip Zinckernagel should have put the Reds in the lead. Jota probably was onside, and the challenge by Allison on Ryan Yates probably wasn't a penalty, but it didn't stop the accusations about LiVARpool; as Cooper said, it would have been interesting to see what decisions would have been made at the other end of the pitch.

Rich Ferraro is joined by the Maradona of the Midlands and Liverpool fan Johnny Shah to review the match itself, with special mentions for Yates and man of the match Joe Worrall; we also comment on the cost and value of Liverpool's team, especially after the quadruple substitution, and there are a few words about Jurgen Klopp. We also ask Tom Newton and Baz to join us to reflect on the match - could we really have won it, and what does this say about whether Forest could hold their own if they got promoted?

1865 Podcast Extra: Forest vs Liverpool preview

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 18 Mar 2022 14:28:28 -0000

You might have noticed that there is a match on Sunday!

Although the league is surely Forest's priority, most Reds fans are looking forward to pitting their wits against one of the best teams in the country. Recorded just after Forest's victory against QPR, Rich Ferraro and Tom Newton look forward to the game, discussing the importance of momentum, possible team selection and comparing Klopp and Cooper in terms of playing and coaching style.

We are also delighted to be joined by Neil from Liverpool podcast The Anfield Wrap to get a view from the opposition; can we expect Klopp to pick a strong team, and how much will home advantage play to Forest's advantage? As we say in the podcast, may the best team win!

Nottingham Forest 3-1 Queens Park Rangers: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 17 Mar 2022 10:38:09 -0000

A blistering comeback from Forest was kickstarted by a thunderbastard from Djed Spence, as Forest eventually stteamrollered a stubborn and niggly QPR side.

In a match that was another great advert for the Championship, despite a torrential downpour and a soggy pitch, Forest showed their ability throughout, but it was the visitors who took the lead against the run of play when Andre Gray ran between the lines, converting Ilias Chair's excellent throughball from a tight angle.

For all that Forest were trying to overcome the shirt pulling and constant niggles, it needed something special to get the Reds back in the match, as Djedmond Spence conjured up a swerving shot into the top corner. After that, it still could have swung either way, but the forces of footballing good prevailed as Ryan Yates' deflected effort from a corner hit home, and then Brennan Johnson sealed the victory after sub Cafu's effort was well-saved following a counter-attack by subs Joe Lolley and Sam Surridge.

Nottingham Forest 4-0 Reading: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 13 Mar 2022 08:47:35 -0000

Two goals from Keinan Davis set Forest on their way to an emphatic victory against relegation-threatened Reading.

The Reds couldn't have made a better start, with Joe Worrall's throughball, Djed Spence's cross and Davis' turn and finish putting the home team in the lead after just 17 seconds! However, the rest of the first half was flat at best, with Ethan Horvath having to make a crucial save and Forest players struggling to play on the front foot. Max Lowe's enforced substitution enabled a tactical tweak, with sub Cafu playing in the hole, enabling Jimmy Garner to drop back into central midfield, and The Reds reaped the benefits in the second half.

All the goals were tidy, with Yates and Surridge putting the seal on the victory, but it was the second goal that got everyone talking: Davis received the ball with his back to goal 25 yards out, and in one move he turned and shrugged off three men, before approaching the box and curling home a fine finish. Power, pace, confidence and finesse - this goal was Collymore-esque. The game ended on a sombre note however, as Davis' rival for man of the match, Steve Cook, limped off with a painful looking injury, and with all subs used, Forest finished the game with ten men.

The Maradona of the Midlands and Rich Ferraro dissect the game, discussing memories of Jack Lester, the contributions of Yates and Surridge, and Steve Cooper's tactical tweaks.

Nottingham Forest 2-1 Huddersfield Town: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Tue, 08 Mar 2022 16:14:35 -0000

In another televised match that will get casual football fans wanting to watch the Championship, Forest progressed to the quarter finals of the FA Cup at the expense of play-off rivals Huddersfield.

After a strong start, Sam Surridge scored a brilliant goal which was wrongly disallowed for offside, and there were echoes of the league match against the Terriers when Tom Lees headed home barely two minutes later. The Reds looked shell-shocked but regained their composure, with Ryan Yates' lungbusting run leading to Surridge's emphatic finish to equalise, and the home team then took the lead before half-time when Yates' strong header made the net bulge.

The second half was slightly more scrappy but still combative, as sub Danny Ward warmed Ethan Horvath's gloves twice, while Spence and Garner both put the ball over the bar when it looked easier to score. Overall, a good performance and a great result, cementing a quarter final at home to Liverpool. Rich Ferraro and Tom Newton discuss the match, with special mentions for Yates, Surridge, Davis, Horvath and of course Stevie Cooper; we also get a view from the away end from Brady Frost of the Huddersfield podcast "And He Takes That Chance".

Sheffield United 1-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 06 Mar 2022 11:00:00 -0000

This was a great advert for The Championship, as Ryan Yates' stoppage-time goal rescued a point for the Reds, who had trailed to Billy Sharp's 70th minute header. In truth, Forest should have wrapped it up before the Blades scored, with decent chances for Davis, Zinckernagel and Cook; Brennan Johnson will also go back to practising penalties at the training ground as his first half spot kick was easily saved by Wes Foderingham.

It was 70 minutes of wondering how we hadn't scored, and then 25 minutes of fearing that we would get battered; but good saves by Ethan Horvath, along with great tackles by Cook and Zinckernagel (yes, really), and a poor pass from Daniel Jebbison gave the Reds the opportunity to snatch a share of the spoils right at the death. Rich Ferraro and Baz discuss whether this was two points dropped or one gained.

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

After an up-and-down few weeks at The City Ground, with outstanding victories against the likes of Derby, Blackburn and Leicester in the cup, but a disappointing defeat at Cardiff and a lacklustre display away to Preston, before the Reds got back on track against Bristol City at the weekend. Rich Ferraro is joined by Tom Newton, the Cycling Defender and Steven Toplis to discuss all the events of the last month, including the Bournemouth postponement and the Reds' highs and lows.

Nottingham Forest 2-0 Bristol City: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 27 Feb 2022 11:13:07 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

After a little bit of a grind in the midweek draw at Preston, Forest were back on form against a Bristol City side who would have been grateful to only lose by two goals. A first half shot by Brennan Johnson and a second half effort by Jimmy Garner saw the Reds take the points, but it could have been so much more.

Rich is joined by Baz to discuss the contributions of the forward players, provide a status report on Ethan Horvath, and to wax lyrical again about Spence and Lowe as attacking full-backs. We also hear from Matthew Withers from the Bristol City podcast 3 Peaps In A Pod, with a view from the away end.

Preston North End 0-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 23 Feb 2022 12:37:11 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

It was hardly a vintage match and it was definitely not a great performance from the Reds, as apart from a bright opening, they were outplayed by a high-pressing Preston team. Forest were struggling to make their game work and, apart from a penalty shout in the first few minutes, and a dangerous cross from Djed Spence at the death, there was a lack of postive action. On the other hand, Preston will feel as though they should have taken their chances and claimed all the points.

As Steve Cooper pointed out, on these nights, you are grateful for the point; however, some fans were questioning the tactical choices and lack of substitutions made by the gaffer. Steven Toplis and Tom Newton discuss the match in our 50th podcast of the season; hopefully a win against Bristol City will make the 51st feel a bit happier.

Nottingham Forest 2-2 Stoke City: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 13 Feb 2022 08:45:17 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

We predicted that this would be a tough match against an in-form Stoke team, and so it proved. Forest were second best in the first half, but held on, and actually took the lead before the hour mark when sub Sam Surridge played a ball out to the left wing, and Max Lowe's peachy cross was converted by the onrushing Brennan Johnson. The visitors equalised through Josh Maja, and a combination of the woodwork and Brice Samba kept the Reds in it.

The last 5-10 minutes were another story though; just as Steve Cooper made his last two attacking substitutions, Samba got himself stupidly and deservedly sent off for cuffing Josh Tymon around the head. Joe Worrall took the gloves and his first duty was to pick the ball out of the net from Lewis Baker's penalty. However, Forest just keep going, and when Jimmy Garner's free kick hit the bar, Scott McKenna got his head to it and Ryan Yates converted from close range to rescue the point.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to discuss the match, the keeper, the pitch invader and the referee, as well as the pick of the Reds players. We also hear a view from the opposition, as we are once again joined by Ben Rowley from Stoke podcast The YYY Files.

Blackburn Rovers 0-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 10 Feb 2022 12:00:09 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

Another enjoyable away day sees Forest move into the Championship playoff places for the first time this season, continuing the remarkable turnaround Steve Cooper has masterminded since arriving at The City Ground. A first-half goal from James Garner and a penalty from Brennan Johnson in the closing minutes of the match secured a 2-0 success for the Reds, who took the game to Blackburn with a mixture of skill, guile and determination and were rewarded with the points against a side who are well in the mix for an automatic promotion spot.

Steven is joined by Tom and they talk about the brilliance of Keinan Davis, Garner's reward for his fine recent performances, the warrior-like spirit from the back three and more examples of how Cooper is simply getting it right as Forest boss.

Nottingham Forest 4-1 Leicester City: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 07 Feb 2022 13:43:44 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

An extended match report on a special day at the City Ground as a first-half salvo saw the Reds blitz Premier League Leicester and progress to the Fifth Round of the FA Cup. Goals from Zinckernagel, Johnson, Worrall and Spence gave the home team a comfortable cushion that was only briefly threatened when an error from Brice Samba saw Kelechi Iheanacho pull a goal back just before half-time (the pigeon was awarded MOTM for the away team).

Rich Ferraro and Baz talk through the goals, the performances, Warrior Worrall and also the less savoury moments such as the violence of Leicester fans in town and at the ground. We also talk about how this result will mean little unless the newly beefed-up squad can keep picking up the points in the League, starting at Blackburn on Wednesday.

Transfer window special: The 1865 Nottingham Forest Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 06 Feb 2022 15:12:57 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

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.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Steven Toplis and our very own new signing, the Cycling Defender to discuss incomings, outgoings and retentions. We also discuss the loss of skipper Lewis Grabban due to injury, and whether the last month demonstrates that the club are now being more strategic with how they are building a squad. We don't even have time to discuss the FA Cup tie against Leicester or forthcoming six pointers in the league.

Cardiff City 2-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 13:54:41 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

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.

Steve Cooper acknowledged that Forest only had themselves to blame and it was possibly the Reds' worst showing since the gaffer took charge. Also worryingly, senior players Steve Cook and Lewis Grabban succumbed to injury, with the skipper taking the brunt of a robust challenge from Will Vaulks and being helped off the pitch in some pain.

In this extended match report, Rich Ferraro and Steven Toplis discuss the Reds' poor performance, a couple of questionable refereering decisions, and also whether the injury situation will force Forest's hand on the last day of the transfer window.

Nottingham Forest 3-0 Barnsley: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 26 Jan 2022 10:53:46 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

Forest continued their winning ways by seeing off bottom side Barnsley in front of a bumper Tuesday evening crowd of 27,000 at The City Ground.

After a quiet opening, Forest took the lead on 15 minutes when Keinan Davis dispossed Mads Andersen, before striding through and slotting the ball into the corner for his first goal in a Reds shirt since joining on loan from Aston Villa.

Steve Cooper's side doubled their lead seven minutes before the break as Ryan Yates finished off a flowing move, which involved an incisive Jack Colback pass to release Brennan Johnson down the left, where he put a superb cross in which Yates tapped home, timing his run into the box perfectly.

A slow start to the second half saw little action but Forest stepped it up again and added a third on 75 minutes. Djed Spence carried the ball down the right flank, seeing off the attention of several Barnsley defenders, he rolled the ball inside where Johnson stroked it first time into the far bottom corner to cap off a comfortable victory. The Reds saw an effort by Steve Cook saved and a Xande Silva strike hit the post as they went on to secure a win which moves them closer to the Championship playoff places.

Steven is joined by Tom Newton to reflect on Forest's win, including the influence Brennan Johnson is having on the side, how Forest got the job done on the night and Steve Cooper's post-match comments, where he made reference to 'that' Charlton game and was keen to avoid a repeat, following the high of the Derby victory on Saturday.

Nottingham Forest 2-1 Derby County: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 23 Jan 2022 17:04:11 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

A derby day that had the lot; a Forest win, drama, memorable goals and even a bust-up at the end! This Saturday lunchtime clash saw Forest secure a 2-1 victory over Derby and extend their unbeaten run against their rivals to 10 matches.

Forest lined up without the injured Joe Worrall, so Ryan Yates moved into the back three alongside Steve Cook and Scott McKenna, whilst ex-Derby man Max Lowe made his return from the sidelines at left wing-back. However, an uninsipiring start saw Steve Cooper switch to a 4-3-2-1 formation in the first half, but aside from a huge miss by Derby's Tom Lawrence, the opening 45 didn't offer much.

The second half got off to a flyer, as Lewis Grabban netted his third goal in as many games and 13th of the season, pouncing after Cook's attempted shot was blocked into his path. With eight minutes remaining, Brennan Johnson started and finished a fine move, exchanging passes with Philip Zinckernagel before firing into the bottom corner of the net for 2-0.

Derby pulled a goal back from the penalty spot through Lawrence, at which point the midfielder was barged out of the way by Brice Samba (sporting a headband after a previous accidental clash with the Derby no. 10), sparking a heated clash inside the goal.

The visitors, in the midst of their well-publicised off-field issues, couldn't find an equaliser. Ravel Morrison was given a straight red for a reckless challenge on Zinckernagel, while at the final whistle another melee broke out as the Forest players and fans enjoyed their victory, with the Reds retaining the Brian Clough Trophy.

The Maradona of the Midlands is joined by Baz and Steven to talk over an eventful East Midlands Derby, where they look at the tactical battle of the first half, Forest's improved second half showing, the brilliance of Brennan's goal and Samba having the Derby players on strings.

Transfers, tactics and TikTok: The 1865 Nottingham Forest Podcast, January 2022

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Tue, 18 Jan 2022 17:00:00 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

We've already had some exciting match reports for you since the turn of the year, but this month's discussion gives us a chance to reflect further on two outstanding results, as the Reds bounced back from Covid and back-to-back league defeats:

Tactics: the Arsenal and Millwall victories suggest that Steve Cooper has a blueprint of "keep it solid then strike" - or at least, they do when they have a full squad available. We also discuss how the Reds are able to keep going for 90+ minutes.
Transfers: Forest struck early in the window, making two solid-looking signings in Keinan Davis and Steve Cook, with full-back Richmond Laryea following shortly afterwards and Djed Spence seemingly extending his stay at the City Ground. Will there be any outgoings though?
We also show appreciation to veteran skipper Lewis Grabban, and compare his captaincy style to the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Paolo Maldini and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
There's still time to pay our respects to local broadcasting legend Colin Slater, discuss a 5-a-side team made up of the kids of ex-Forest players, and Jeremy Davies joins us with his monthly sketch. Plus we have another game of Guess That Red, and you know what - we're on TikTok - how did that happen?

Millwall 0-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 16 Jan 2022 15:24:06 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

What is it about this Forest team and late goals?! This time it was a 91st minute winner from Lewis Grabban that secured a dramatic victory for Steve Cooper's side at The New Den, after a see-saw second half which saw chances galore for Forest, as well as several opportunities for the hosts, who were twice denied brilliantly by Brice Samba in the Forest net.

Grabban replaced Philip Zinckernagel in the starting XI, playing just behind Keinan Davis, but it was Forest who struggled to get much going in the first half, only coming into proceedings just before the break. The Reds were much-improved in the second, with some fluent passing from Ryan Yates and James Garner, the guile of Grabban and Davis and the lively Brennan Johnson causing Millwall all kinds of problems.

The game saw plenty of chances come and go for both sides, with Forest in particular forcing good saves out of Bartosz Bialkowski in the Lions goal and seeing efforts cleared off the line, before Grabban stepped up with minutes remaining to send the travelling Forest fans wild.

Steven is joined by Tom Newton to discuss a match where Forest's staying power once again came to the fore. They talk about the importance of Lewis Grabban to the side, how the Reds approached the game in the right manner as well as the belief and determination that the team continues to show under Cooper.

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

Well, that was enjoyable wasn't it?! Forest knock Arsenal out of the FA Cup in the third round again with a memorable victory on Trentside. On a night where the Reds delivered a superb team performance, Lewis Grabban netted the deciding goal on 83 minutes when he steered home a terrific cross from the right by Ryan Yates, giving Steve Cooper's Forest a victory that left The City Ground crowd delighted.

Steven is joined by Tom Newton to discuss a match where Forest were committed, resolute but also threatening when they had the ball. They talk about the promising debuts of new signings Steve Cook and Keinan Davis, how Cooper set Forest up to go on and win the game, as well as the continued brilliance of Djed Spence, who impressed fans up and down the country with his display.

The result means Forest will be back in cup action at the beginning of Feburary, when they face neighbours and holders Leicester City in the fourth round.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Huddersfield Town: The 1865 Match Report

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

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.

Baz is joined by Tom Newton to discuss a match where Huddersfield only had three real shots on target, but scored the only goal; whereas Forest just couldn't put the ball in the net. Was Steve Cooper out-manoeuvred tactically by Carlos Corberan, or was the defeat down to the lack of depth in the Forest squad?

Despite the disappointing last few days, we are still optimistic for the New Year. We want to thank you for listening and wish you all a healthy and happy new year.

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

We knew this would happen eventually, and today Chris Wilder's Middlesbrough were tactically and physically superior to Forest for 90% of the match. A woeful own goal by Ryan Yates gave the hosts the lead, and they really should have scored three or four before the break. Forest had a good ten minute spell on the hour, but Philip Zinckernagel and Joe Worrall were off target, and Andraz Sporar put the game to bed shortly afterwards.

Rich Ferraro and the Maradona of the Midlands discuss the game, in particular the full-back positions, Steve Cooper's tactical options, and introduction of Joao Carvalho and Xande Silva from the bench.

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

Another victory for Forest, but a hard-fought one where the Reds had to come from behind and overcome losing two players to injury. It was a murky day by the Trent, and with the spectre of Covid causing disruption to football and our Christmas plans, this was a day when things could have gone awry, especially after Kean Lewis-Potter opened the scoring just before the break. However, second half goals from Lewis Grabban (pen) and Brennan Johnson saw the home team claim victory and the fans leave with smiles on their faces.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to talk about the misfortunes of Jordi Osei-Tutu and Alex Mighten, who both made good contributions before succumbing to injury; a controversial penalty; and the brilliance of Johnson's finish when bagging the winning goal.

Swansea City 1-4 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 11:21:54 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

Forest go from strength to strength under Steve Cooper with a brilliant 4-1 win at Swansea City; the Reds putting in a clinical performance against Cooper's former employers and providing the travelling Reds supporters with a day to remember.

The first half was a goalless affair, with Swansea just edging it on chances created. However, the second half saw five goals, four of them for the visitors! Philip Zinckernagel got things going with a ferocious strike from just inside the area on 48 minutes before Lewis Grabban doubled Forest's lead two minutes later after a fine move orchestrated by Djed Spence and Brennan Johnson down the right.

Joel Piroe made it 2-1 with a shot that deflected in off Ryan Yates but Johnson restored the two-goal cushion soon after as he pounced on a mistake by Swans goalkeeper Ben Hamer. Swansea pushed in the closing stages but Cooper's men wrapped things up in injury time as Cafu fired home Lyle Taylor's cutback to seal a tremendous win.

Steven Toplis is joined by Tom Newton to reflect on events in South Wales, including Forest's clinical qualities, Cooper's continued impact, the return of Jordi Osei-Tutu and our new centre-back - Ryan Yates!

Nottingham Forest 2-0 Peterborough United: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 05 Dec 2021 21:34:32 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

After three successive Championship draws, Forest got back to winning ways against struggling Peterborough, on a wet and blustery City Ground afternoon. The first half offered very little in terms of quality, although Philip Zinckernagel almost put the Reds ahead within the first minute as his drive from range was tipped away by Posh 'keeper David Cornell, and later Lewis Grabban later fired into the side netting from an angle.

The second half was a big improvement; Forest came out pressing Peterborough higher up the pitch, playing with a greater pace and intensity. They were rewarded on 72 minutes as Grabban's miscued finish fell to James Garner in the box to prod home, before Ryan Yates wrapped things up 12 minutes later (even if he didn't know much about it!) as he turned Garner's corner into the net.

The performance of the referee (suprise, surprise) frustrated both Forest and Peterborough, particularly the Reds when he turned down a strong second-half handball penalty shout with the score at 0-0. In the end it didn't matter as Forest did what they needed to in order to win, leaving them six points off the playoffs and with a record of 27 points and one defeat from their last 14 games.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Steven Toplis to mull over Saturday's events, with Grabban, Garner, the referee and the weather all featuring!

West Bromwich Albion 0-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 27 Nov 2021 13:24:45 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

Another match, another draw for the Reds. This game was probably not that high on quality but there were some talking points. 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. Forest were similarly blunt in the final third, with Sam Johnstone palming over Brennan Johnson's deflected effort.

However, there is still much to be pleased about - Forest were missing Max Lowe and Jack Colback, but were still competitive throughout, and after Jayson Molumby's red card the away side looked the most likely, with attacking substitutions, efforts blocked, and crosses just missed. There was still a get out of jail moment when Jordan Hugill showed a lack of composure in front of goal, but it says a lot that Steve Cooper's Reds were disappointed with an away draw at an ex-Premier League side.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Luton Town: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 24 Nov 2021 17:27:35 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

A goalless draw at the City Ground only tells half the story, on a night short on quality but with plenty of incident. Unfortunately, most eyes were on referee Jeremy Simpson, who was trying to make a name for himself by awarding a penalty to Luton, sending off Jack Colback, and then denying the Reds what looked like a clear penalty at the other end. It says a lot when both managers are unhappy with the officials.

Both teams could have won it - Brice Samba saved the pen and then made a great save later on, but Lyle Taylor could have given Forest the lead earlier on. As well as Samba, there were good performances by Scott McKenna and debutant Braian Ojeda. We speak to Luton fan Ryan McCole to discuss the major talking points.

Reading 1-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 21 Nov 2021 13:10:51 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

A draw away at Reading probably feels more like two points dropped, rather than a point gained, especially as the Royals were rocked by a six-point deduction, a host of injuries, and Philip Zinckernagel's excellent early goal. However, the home team went on to be the stronger team for most of the first half, although it took them until 62 minutes to get back into the match after the introduction of sub Andy Carroll. Forest will feel like they had the better chances in the second half, with Lewis Grabban having two efforts of note.

Rich Ferraro and the Maradona Of The Midlands discuss the above, as well as Max Lowe and the Colback/Yates axis, and much more.

Positive football, positive results and a rapid rise up the table; Steve Cooper has continued to make quite the impression since his appointment as Forest head coach. Steven Toplis is joined by Baz, The Maradona of the Midlands and Tom Newton and Steven Toplis to discuss the impact Cooper has made in his first few weeks at The City Ground and reflect on how watching Forest has suddenly become enjoyable once again.

We also discuss the revival of Jack Colback in a red shirt, Lewis Grabban's importance to the side as well as ponder the future of the influential on-loan wingbacks Max Lowe and Djed Spence.

Nottingham Forest 3-0 Preston North End: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 07 Nov 2021 08:08:58 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

In a break with recent tradition, there were no late goals or comebacks in this one, as Forest recorded a comfortable (in the end) victory over Preston North End. Forest reverted to a 4-2-3-1 formation in an attempt to get the first goal and provide more attacking threat, and although Preston made a confident start, the Reds struck first through Lewis Grabban's penalty. MOTM Jack Colback added a great second goal before half-time.

It's worth noting that the Reds didn't have it all their own way - at the start of each half, the visitors exerted pressure, and Grabban's second goal after a jinking, mazy run from Brennan Johnson was needed to put the game to bed. After three matches in a row with (ahem) curious refereeing decisions, Forest probably got the benefit of the doubt for much of this game. Rich Ferraro and Baz report on a welcome three points.

Nottingham Forest 1-1 Sheffield United: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 03 Nov 2021 14:50:55 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

Late goal? Check. Belief and resilience? Check. The Amazing Djed Spence? Check. "Interesting" refereeing? Check check check it out - the 1865 Match Report is here!

Rich Ferraro and Steven Toplis discuss a match that was a great advert for the Championship; despite only one save all match, there was plenty of action, and both teams will feel like they could have taken all three points. After substitute Billy Sharp created the Blades' opener for the excellent Morgan Gibbs-White, our own veteran forward Lewis Grabban came off the bench to score a real striker's goal.

The big talking points for the Reds were Jack Colback at left back; the impact of the subs (again); the performance of human Duracell bunny Djed Spence (again); and of course that penalty incident (again) which saw an incredulous Brennan Johnson booked for diving. Most of all, it was telling that, even after conceding on 78 minutes, the fans and team knew that they could get back into the match, and maybe even win it.

Queens Park Rangers 1-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 30 Oct 2021 17:18:43 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

A late late deflected goal from Jack Colback provided the bit of luck that Forest needed to get a point away at QPR. The Reds had played well but struggled with the final ball, and as a result Seny Diang did not have much to do in the Rangers net. On the other hand, QPR scored on the stroke of half time, and could have had more in the second half as the Reds chased the game.

Baz is joined by Tom Newton for this review of the game, reflecting on the belief and never-say-die attitude that characterises this Forest team and Head Coach. Unfortunately, there are also more than a few words for this referee, and the standard of officiating in general - even Steve Cooper said that he couldn't talk about it as he didn't want to get into trouble (however, our Tom has no such qualms).

Nottingham Forest 0-4 Fulham: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 25 Oct 2021 15:18:38 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

Back down to earth with a bump, the Reds paid the price for naivety and silly mistakes, and were punished by a rampant Fulham team, with Aleksandr Mitrovic showing his class with two goals, and Neeskens Kebano scoring an excellent goal on the break.

Forest will need to learn from this match, dust themselves down and get back on the horse. Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to discuss midfield pivots, turning points, and the referee, who notably drew the ire of Reds gaffer Steve Cooper.

Bristol City 1-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report (extended edition)

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

An extended match report after an extraordinary end to the match, as Lyle Taylor scored twice in stoppage time to take all three points. Alex Scott (not that one) gave Bristol City a first half lead, but the Reds maintained their belief and attacking impetus. It was never really in doubt, was it?

Rich Ferraro is joined by The Athletic's Nick Miller for a totally unbiased summary of the game (he got some funny looks for swearing at the ref in the press box) - up for discussion are: hitting the post, and Brice Samba's saves; the penalties that weren't, and the one that was; Lyle Taylor's languid lollop up to the spot; and the limbs following the winning goal.

Nottingham Forest 2-1 Blackpool: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 17 Oct 2021 10:27:03 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

At long last, Forest managed to get that elusive home win in the league, at the expense of a Blackpool side who have found their feet in the Championship. Goals from Brennan Johnson and Lewis Grabban earned the victory, despite the Reds being pegged back by a Jerry Yates equaliser following a mix-up between Djed Spence and Brice Samba.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to discuss the feelgood factor at this match - "it was a proper fight", as well as the contributions of Philip Zinckernagel, Jack Colback and Ryan "Pirlo" Yates, as Steve Cooper made tactical tweaks and the right substitutions to see Forest over the line (and once again, knew all the right things to say after the match).

Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz, Tom Newton and Steven Toplis to discuss tactics and formations, the impact on the players, and Cooper's willingness to engage with the fanbase.

Speaking of fans, we also discuss what supporters really want from following their team, with reference to the NFFC Supporters' Trust and the current situation at Newcastle United.

Birmingham City 0-3 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 02 Oct 2021 18:53:40 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

Another three goals on the road and another three points; Forest made it three away wins on the spin as they ran out 3-0 winners over Birmingham City at St. Andrews.

In an entertaining game played on a wet and rainy afternoon, it was Forest who took the lead on 11 minutes as Lewis Grabban thumped home a brilliant 20-yard strike. The hosts threatened to fight back as they caused some scares inthe Reds defence with set pieces, but it was a set piece of their own that saw Forest double their lead, as Ryan Yates headed home a corner on the half hour mark.

In the second half a swift, flowing counter attack saw Forest extend their lead further after nice work from Grabban and Philip Zinckernagel released Djed Spence down the right, where the wing-back thumped a finish into the roof of the next for 3-0.

Birmingham responded with chances of their own but Brice Samba held firm in the Forest goal, producing a stunning late save from Marc Roberts' header to preserve a clean sheet. The Forest 'keeper was rightly praised by head coach Steve Cooper at the end of the game.

It makes it two wins from three for the new Forest boss, with an impressive counter-attacking display that saw Zinckernagel, Grabban and Brennan Johnson in particular pose a constant threat, running the Birmingham defence ragged at times.

In our match report Baz is joined by Steven as they talk about the improvements from Jack Colback and Ryan Yates, how Forest are playing with a greater sense of freedom and the continued impact that Steve Cooper is having on his new side.

Barnsley 1-3 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:18:01 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

Steve Cooper took his Forest side to South Yorkshire to face Barnsley - a team who've inflicted damage upon the Reds in recent years - and the new head coach picked up his first win since taking charge with an enjoyable 3-1 success.

Forest shaded the first half but it was Barnsley who led on 20 minutes, as Cauley Woodrow converted the penalty he'd won after being hauled down in the box by Tobias Figuereido. Forest fought back in the second half, though, with the introduction of Lewis Grabban for Figuereido and a switch to a 4-2-3-1 formation providing the catalyst for goals.

Grabban released Brennan Johnson down the right-hand side and he squared the ball across goal to provide Philip Zinckernagel with a simple tap-in, before Johnson made it 2-1 with a neat finish soon after. Grabban later got his goal after Alex Mighten's trickery saw him get away down the left before sliding the ball across for Grabban to convert.

Forest were rewarded for a positive display as they took advantage of gaps in the Barnsley defence and it's possible they could have had even more on a night that provided plenty of enjoyment for the travelling Reds at Oakwell, as well as those watching on TV.

Steven is joined by Tom for this match report, where they reflect on the impact Cooper is already having with the team, his positive substitutions on the night and Forest serving up some enjoyable attacking football.

Nottingham Forest 1-1 Millwall: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 26 Sep 2021 15:00:26 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

Following the first win of the season last weekend, Steve Cooper took charge of Nottingham Forest for the first time as Millwall visited The City Ground. The new head coach started with a point, earned thanks to a second-half fightback after Matt Smith (again!) found the back of the net for the visitors in the first half.

Max Lowe equalised for Forest on 52 minutes, picking up the ball from Scott McKenna before firing a cross into the box and also into the back of the net, as it soared over Bartosz Bialkowski in the Millwall goal. The on-loan left-back might not have meant to score, but his goal secured a decent point in the circumstances.

Cooper kept faith with the 3-4-2-1 system that worked well in the win at Huddersfield and named an unchanged team. While the Reds might not have hit the heights they did a week ago in South Yorkshire, they did enough to suggest they'll be a more entertaining side to watch this season.

Steven is joined by Baz for this match report, where they look at the positives to take from Cooper's first match in charge, the impressive performances of the two Forest full-backs as well as some pockets of discontent that still seem to be evident among the Forest faithful.

Steve Cooper arrives: 1865 Podcast Special

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 22 Sep 2021 15:57:48 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

Another season and another new manager joins Nottingham Forest - or should we say head coach? After the departure of Chris Hughton last week, former Swansea City boss Steve Cooper has been appointed as head coach at The City Ground. The Welshman, who led the Swans to back-to-back playoff finishes in the Championship, takes charge of the Reds after their first win of the season at the eighth attempt; the 2-0 victory at Huddersfield Town on Saturday under the caretaker stewardship of Steven Reid.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz, Steven Toplis and the Maradona of the Midlands to examine the latest change in the Forest dugout. As well as touching on where it went wrong for Hughton, the panel look at Cooper's pedigree, his style of play and they ask if Forest have finally implemented some form of "strategy" through Cooper's appointment. Tom Morgan from Total Swans TV also joins the team to provide his view on the appointment of Cooper and what Forest fans can expect following his arrival.

Huddersfield Town 0-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 19 Sep 2021 21:00:47 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

Lo and behold, a win! Forest collected three points for the first time in nearly six months, as the managerless Reds scored two goals and kept a clean sheet away at Huddersfield Town. It was noticeable that Forest were trying to get higher up the pitch, and playing three centre backs seemed to give a better balance to the team.

In this dogcast, Rich Ferraro and Baz compare and contrast the tactics and performance to what we saw under Chris Hughton; we also hear from Brady from Huddersfield podcast And He Takes That Chance with an opposition fan's view of the high-vis Reds.

Nottingham Forest 0-2 Middlesbrough: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 16 Sep 2021 13:01:55 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

Forest fell to their sixth defeat in seven Championship matches as Middlesbrough ran out 2-0 winners on another night to forget at The City Ground. Despite a reasonably bright start, Forest fell behind in the 24th minute to a clinical finish from Andraz Sporar before a mistake by goalkeeper Ethan Horvath presented the ball to Onel Hernandez for a simple tap in 18 minutes from time, wrapping up the points for the visitors and keeping Forest bottom of the table.

In this match report (recorded before Chris Hughton's sacking) Baz and Steven reflect on what went wrong for the Reds on the night, an atmosphere that was far from enjoyable as well as what the future holds for Forest and how they can turn their season around.

Nottingham Forest 1-2 Cardiff City: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 12 Sep 2021 19:11:12 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace. Forest's woes continued on Sunday afternoon as they were beaten 2-1 by Cardiff at The City Ground, sealing the Reds' worst start to a league season for 108 years and piling futher pressure on manager Chris Hughton. Lewis Grabban netted his first goal of the campaign in the first half as he converted debutant Max Lowe's low cross into the penalty box, following a neat link-up between Lowe and Brennan Johnson down the left-hand side. However, Cardiff turned the game around in the second period as their direct style told; a brace from Rubin Colwill seeing the visitors claim all three points. The result leaves Forest rock bottom of the Championship and in our match report, Steven and The Maradona of the Midlands review another disappointing defeat. They talk about a lack of spark both on and off the pitch, familiar frailties coming back to haunt the Reds and where this latest defeat leaves Hughton.

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

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?

In addition, we do talk about Chris Hughton, and whether his tactical rigidity is going to cost him his job. We also have a competition for you, and another edition of our Forest quiz, Guess That Red!

Derby County 1-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report (extended edition)

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

An extended match report as Forest picked up their first point of the season with a 1-1 draw at rivals Derby County. After Tom Lawrence put the hosts in front in the first half, Forest responded in the second and were rewarded seven minutes from the end, as Brennan Johnson netted his first senior goal for the Reds with a well-taken strike.

In this extended edition of the 1865 Match Report, Steven Toplis is joined by Cory and Jason from Derby podcast Rams Review. They talk over a missed handball, a missed stamping and examine the performances of the two sides, as the Rams were left to rue missed opportunities and the visitors staged a fightback which might just have eased the pressure on under-fire Forest boss Chris Hughton.

"Why doesn't he play the kids? They cannot do any worse than the first team." Tonight, against a Wolves team costing nearly £100m (with more on the bench), Forest's kids gave a brave account of themselves but were overpowered by Premier League opposition.

The sad thing is that, on some counts, you cannot win - some fans were asking why Hughton didn't play more first teamers! The thing we are all agreed on is that we won't score unless we actually manage some attempts on target. Tom Newton reports from the City Ground.

Another defeat but worst of all, another non-performance where the Reds barely threatened the Stoke goal. Josh Tymon's goal settled the match and the Forest fans continued to make their voices heard as the pressure piles on Chris Hughton.

Ben Rowley from The YYY Files joins us to offer the home fans' perspective, and it doesn't reflect well. Afterwards, I was invited to appear on Talksport2's Game Day Phone-In and shared some of my thoughts.

Nottingham Forest 1-2 Blackburn Rovers: The 1865 Match Report (extended edition)

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 19 Aug 2021 11:20:47 -0000

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

An extended match report as Forest suffered their third consecutive 2-1 league defeat, in another match marred by poor defending from set pieces, and a lack of cutting edge up front. What was most interesting was that the grumbles on social media became very real, as fans openly questioned Chris Hughton's tactics, selection and substitutions, and even (astonishingly) chanted for former gaffer Sabri Lamouchi.

In this special episode, Steven Toplis reviews the action and has an in-depth conversation with Ryan Hildred from Rovers Chat about how Rovers won the game, and just as importantly, how Forest "beat themselves". Ryan is surprised to hear the hostility towards Chris Hughton, but he was also amazed at how poor Forest were. Then Baz gives us an overview of why it just isn't working for Hughton at Forest, and whether there is a comparison with Jose Mourinho's career.

After the kids did us proud against Bradford in the League Cup, it was back down to earth with a bang today as ten-man Bournemouth held out to inflict a 2-1 defeat on the Reds. Despite some promising moments, if the truth be told. Forest did not do enough to get back into this match and Chris Hughton has taken some criticism for not being offensive enough with his subs.

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?

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 Magic Moments Part 6: Paul Hart

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).

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace.

Today Jeremy thinks back to an important moment in his formative years - a rare trip to the City Ground, sitting in the away end, when Forest and England skipper Stuart Pearce took matters into his own hands and scored a diving header to liven up an uninspiring match against lower-league Hereford United.

Astonishingly, we have another magic moment from our days in League One; Steven Toplis reviews a miserable evening at Oldham as Forest conceded five goals and two red cards, but the Forest fans proved that there ain't no party like a Reds club party. If nothing else, it shows that things could be a lot worse...

Today, Tom Newton thinks back to unhappy days under Gary Megson; a woeful Forest team had been relegated, and Megson's attempts to rebuild were nothing short of disastrous - but maligned full-back managed to provide a moment of joy for the away fans at Oakwell.

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.

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

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).

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).

Sheffield Wednesday 0-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 02 May 2021 12:45:26 -0000

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.

Nottingham Forest 1-1 Stoke City: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 25 Apr 2021 14:54:19 -0000

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.

Nottingham Forest 0-2 Huddersfield Town: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 18 Apr 2021 10:37:19 -0000

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.

Bristol City 0-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 11 Apr 2021 10:19:18 -0000

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.

Nottingham Forest 3-1 Queens Park Rangers: The 1865 Match Report

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.

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?

Presented by Rich Ferraro, with contributions from Baz, the Maradona of the Midlands, Steven Toplis and Tom Newton. The 1865 Forest Ramble Sketch is by Jeremy Davies.

Brentford 1-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

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.

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).

Finances and Football Index failure: The 1865 Forest Ramble meets Kieran Maguire

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 17 Mar 2021 09:16:42 -0000

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. Thank you to Kieran for taking the time to join us.

Nottingham Forest 1-1 Reading: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 14 Mar 2021 10:49:15 -0000

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.

Another disappointing defeat in which the Reds barely got a sight of the opposition goal, and Chris Hughton sounded downbeat afterwards. 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.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Luton Town: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 03 Mar 2021 17:40:04 -0000

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.

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

In this bumper podcast, Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz, Steven Toplis and Tom Newton, to discuss all the action from the last month:

Racism in football: after Colin Kazim-Richards received abuse after the Derby match, we discuss whether there are any solutions
The local derby: ok, so it wasn't one for the neutrals, but Forest really should have won it, shouldn't they?
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!
Chris Hughton's philosophy: his focus on processes, as much as outcomes

Jeremy Davies also gives us a history lesson about Forest's record goalscorer, and we play our quiz: Guess That Red!

Derby County 1-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 27 Feb 2021 09:18:05 -0000

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.

Rotherham United 0-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 24 Feb 2021 08:43:15 -0000

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.

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Blackburn Rovers: The 1865 Match Report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 21 Feb 2021 10:02:12 -0000

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.

Swansea City 1-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Forest Ramble

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 18 Feb 2021 06:52:23 -0000

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?

Wycombe Wanderers 0-3 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

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.

In this bonus podcast we look back on the Coventry match but focus upon the transfer window. Host Rich Ferraro is joined by Steven Toplis, Tom Newton and Nottingham-based football journalist George Harbey, who has followed Forest throughout the season and joins us on loan:

Hello to Krovinovic, Garner and Murray
Farewell to Darikwa, Clough, Guerrero
Have Forest managed to address the deficiencies in midfield?
Will Nicolas Ioannou return?
The future for the Forest players who are out of contract this summer

We also have a chat with Brighton fan Rick Loosemore to ask what Glenn Murray can bring to the Forest team, and whether Chris Hughton is still the right man for the job, despite a shaky season so far.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Barnsley: The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 31 Jan 2021 13:08:51 -0000

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.

'Stuck between two managers' - The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast, January 2021

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 24 Jan 2021 19:56:08 -0000

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.

Nottingham Forest 1-2 Middlesbrough: The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 21 Jan 2021 11:51:11 -0000

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.

Nottingham Forest 3-1 Millwall: The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 17 Jan 2021 19:58:19 -0000

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.

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Cardiff City (FA Cup Third Round): 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Tue, 12 Jan 2021 09:23:05 -0000

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.

Preston North End 0 - 1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 03 Jan 2021 19:31:19 -0000

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.

Stoke City 1-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 30 Dec 2020 23:38:58 -0000

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.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Birmingham City: The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 27 Dec 2020 14:58:44 -0000

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.

"It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid..." The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast, December 2020

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 23 Dec 2020 17:00:00 -0000

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.

The 1865 Forest Ramble meets: NFFC Supporters' Trust

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Tue, 22 Dec 2020 17:00:00 -0000

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.

It's Tricky To Talk: The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 21 Dec 2020 17:00:00 -0000

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.

Millwall 1-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 20 Dec 2020 16:36:10 -0000

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.

Nottingham Forest 2-0 Sheffield Wednesday: The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 16 Dec 2020 12:50:52 -0000

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.

Nottingham Forest 1-3 Brentford: The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 13 Dec 2020 13:13:26 -0000

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.

The 1865 Forest Ramble: what is wrong at the City Ground?

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 11 Dec 2020 17:00:00 -0000

Earlier in the week, we were asked to contribute to a couple of shows to talk about Forest's awful season (and year) so far.

Firstly, hear Rich Ferraro in conversation with Ryan Dilks and Justin Peach from the Second Tier Podcast, discussing the Reading game, but more importantly, the bigger picture as to why Forest are doing so badly.

Then we cut to Monday's discussion with Talksport2, discussing the form and confidence of the players, whether Chris Hughton is a good appointment as manager, and whether there are potentially wider issues affecting the club.

Norwich 2-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Fri, 11 Dec 2020 07:33:18 -0000

Yet another defeat for Forest as this awful run of hard games continues. However, the Reds at least looked a bit more competitive, and they managed to score for the first time in ages, albeit via a fortuitous cross from Antony Knockaert that went straight in (right now, we'll take what we can get).

We are joined by our very own Baz, with a Forest fan's perspective, and by Norwich City supporter Tyrone Bradford, who shares his thoughts on the match, on Chris Hughton, and Forest's prospects for the season.

The 1865 Forest Ramble meets: David Phillips!

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 07 Dec 2020 16:00:00 -0000

Yes, THAT David Phillips! Steven Toplis and the Maradona of the Midlands have an illuminating chat with the ex-Forest midfielder, who tells us about Frank Clark, winning Player of the Year as we got promotion, the Premier League and playing in Europe.

David also tells us about his upbringing, playing in the 1987 FA Cup Final, and his experiences as an international right back despite playing left wing for Norwich. We also uncover exactly why a player we signed as a winger ended up playing as a defensive midfielder under Frank Clark, and freezing his bits off whilst wearing a dress.

Reading 2-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 05 Dec 2020 18:50:23 -0000

Another blank for Forest, and another game in which they gave the opponents a head start. Reading had a great start to the season and are still ruthless in front of goal, so it wasn't a great idea to give Lucas Joao a free shot from 12 yards, and playing three-quarters of the match with ten men.

We are joined by Alex from the Elm Park Royals podcast, who shares his opinions on Reading's firepower, Forest's lack of creativity, and the importance of fans returning to matches.

No chance! Nottingham Forest 0-0 Watford - The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 03 Dec 2020 18:09:58 -0000

A match of few chances, but a more solid performance meant that Reds fans could focus on some positives, such as the return of Joe Worrall, a better performance from Toby Figueiredo, and also the full debut of Cafu (not that one).

We are joined by Mike from the Voices Of The Vic podcast to discuss the match and whether it would have made any difference if fans had been in the ground - especially with regard to the referee's decision to spare Nathaniel Chalobah from an early bath.

Confidence and composure: Nottingham Forest 0-1 Swansea City - The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 29 Nov 2020 16:55:11 -0000

Despite a decent showing in the first half, Freddie Woodman's save from Antony Knockaert meant that Forest once again failed to score; then when Connor Roberts inexplicably out-jumped Sammy Ameobi, we just knew that we were up against it.

The second half saw Swansea's back three hold firm, preventing Forest from having any meaningful efforts. 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 Hughton must be wondering how to get the players feeling confident again, with a tough run of games coming up.

Forest fruitless against the Cherries: AFC Bournemouth 2-0 Nottingham Forest - The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 14:10:43 -0000

We 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 for the Reds' players and manager to do to make Forest a competitive force this season.

Missed chances: Barnsley 2-0 Nottingham Forest - The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 22 Nov 2020 10:10:28 -0000

A 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 Hughton's Forest.

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 16 Nov 2020 17:00:00 -0000

Once again, we welcome football journalist, Forest correspondent and local boy George Harbey to the podcast.

In part 2 of our conversation, George tells us more about the ups and downs of football journalism, and being embedded at Forest. What was it like reporting on the demise and departure of Sabri Lamouchi, and what it's like being at the City Ground without fans - is the job made even harder when no-one can see the game in person? Also, what difference does social media and 24/7 reporting make to the life of a football journalist?

"Lyle Taylor: what a guy!" The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast, November 2020

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 08 Nov 2020 18:55:35 -0000

A tough first month for Chris Hughton, with no fewer than seven games; but the Reds' record has improved from P4 L4, with the new gaffer overseeing three wins, three draws and a solitary defeat at miserly Middlesbrough.

Rich Ferraro is joined by Steven Toplis, Baz, the Maradona of the Midlands and new contributor Tom Newton; your intrepid podcast team discuss Hughton's impact, improvements at both ends of the pitch, and whether the Reds have missed having fans in the stadium.

Wait, there's more - there is still time to cram in the unsuccessful pursuit of Kamil Grosicky (and whether So Solid Crew would have had something to say about it), the governance of Forest by the Greek ownership, and a special mention for new striker Lyle Taylor - what a guy!

Out of jail: Nottingham Forest 2-1 Coventry City - The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 05 Nov 2020 19:05:39 -0000

Phew. 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 spot-kicks, and he duly ambled up to stroke the ball home from twelve yards with the very last kick of the match. Lucky lucky Forest, but now comes the hard part - building on the result and restoring fragile confidence.

If 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 the team to create chances.

Reds' endeavour: Luton Town 1-1 Nottingham Forest - The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 29 Oct 2020 15:14:28 -0000

At 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 few months, and although it took an own goal from Glenn Rea, it was just reward for Forest knocking on the door. Nathan Jones bemoaned that his team failed to finish the game off, but Chris Hughton was happy with the Reds' endeavour.

It's a Knockaert: Nottingham Forest 1-1 Derby County - The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 24 Oct 2020 11:48:48 -0000

On 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 the first half, and the veteran striker's injury probably did Hughton a favour as it enabled the introduction of Anthony Knockaert, who made a great impression in his first Reds appearance. Skillful, tricky, with the ability to scare defenders, the Frenchman could potentially be a key figure for Forest as they hope to start climbing the table.

"Everyone's going to miss a sitter now and then": Nottingham Forest 1-1 Rotherham United - The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 21 Oct 2020 08:20:15 -0000

A frustrating evening at the City Ground as Forest played well for a bit, then didn't, but turned up the heat at the end to earn the point - but it could and should have been more.

The big talking point was Lewis Grabban's miss when clean through on goal, but our reporter Baz points out that he does a whole load of work for the team, even if it doesn't always look like it. Grabban also managed to almost score with a much harder chance and was involved in the equaliser for man-of-the-match Sammy Ameobi. Overall, four points out of six wasn't bad from these two games, even if they didn't come the way we expected.

Hughton masterclass: Blackburn Rovers 0-1 Nottingham Forest - The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 18 Oct 2020 14:30:07 -0000

It wasn't a classic, but no-one really minds do they? When the scoreline starts with "Blackburn nil" it was always going to be an improvement.

True, Rovers were missing some of their wise old heads, particularly in the middle of the park, but Forest managed to look more solid, with special mentions for Toby Figueiredo and Ryan Yates. Of course the icing on the cake was Forest's push in the last fifteen minutes, which saw Sammy Ameobi hit the post before Joe Lolleh's late strike took a deflection and gave the Reds a late winner.

We are joined by Dirk from Blackburn Roverseas, who shares his views on what went wrong for Rovers, why he feared the new manager bounce, and what it is like to be live-streaming when your team concede in the 90th minute.

Chris Hughton: a Brighton fan's view

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 14 Oct 2020 19:28:31 -0000

With new manager Chris Hughton preparing for his first match in charge of Nottingham Forest, we speak to Brighton fan (and resident of Newcastle) Rick Loosemore. We discuss tactics, formations and style of play, and whether we can expect to see Forest play with inverted wingers and two upfront.

Rick also gives us an insight into Hughton's popularity on the south coast and in the north east, and confirms the old mantra that if you get rid of your manager, you need to replace him with someone better; Brighton feel as though they have achieved that, but other clubs (including Newcastle) have struggled to improve post-Hughton.

The 1865 Forest Ramble meets: Big Wes!

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 11 Oct 2020 07:44:08 -0000

Well that has been another turbulent week for #nffc fans, hasn't it? In the spirit of Monty Python (ask your parents/grandparents, kids), "Now for something completely different..."

We speak to North America's Nottingham Forest superfan, Big Wes Hall, to hear the story of how a case of mistaken identity on social media led to him discovering soccer (sorry) and become ever-so-slightly obsessed with the Reds.

Wes tells us what he loves about British football culture, and the differences between US and English fans. We also hear how Wes has started learning some of the Nottingham dialect, why he loves Ryan Yates and what happened when Big Wes met the other Big Wes.

Sabri sacked, Hughton hired: 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast Special

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Tue, 06 Oct 2020 20:20:35 -0000

Things hadn't been right for some time, had they? Even before lockdown, the legs had gone, the poor January transfer window hindered the manager and then everything crumbled in lockdown. What seemed like promising recruitment quickly became insane, with sooooo many new signings, and in the meantime the manager had signed a new contract and recruited new backroom staff. Just another year in the life of Nottingham Forest...

Our podcasters digest the departure of Sabri Lamouchi and ponder over the new gaffer's chances of success - he certainly has the pedigree, but does his status as Manager (rather than Head Coach) signify a change in football operations?

Anyway, we praise the appointment of Chris Hughton and welcome the new gaffer to Nottingham.

"I just don't know what they are doing": 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast, October 2020

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 05 Oct 2020 08:13:02 -0000

We bring you a bumper podcast this month, as there is just so much to talk about:

#nffc's poor results have kept the focus on Sabri's future
We discuss results and performances - is there a glimmer of hope?
If keeping the manager was supposed to ensure stability, what message does it send to sign a whole new team?
Does the club actually have a strategy?

We also welcome back Jeremy Davies for an episode of Pointless (East Midlands football edition), and have a new feature from our newest squad member, Tom Newton. As if that wasn't enough, we close the podcast with mentions of Sam Allardyce and a stark b*llock naked Tony Pulis.

(Col)back from the brink? Forest 1-2 Bristol City - The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 03 Oct 2020 18:21:47 -0000

I don't know, in some ways it would have been easier if we had got thumped, then Sabri could have been relieved of his duties and at least the debate would be over. As it is, despite another defeat, Forest might have done just enough to earn M Lamouchi a reprieve for a couple of weeks at least.

The headlines are that Forest are still winless and pointless, but at least Luke Freeman scored a goal to perk up the Reds players, fans and manager. Unfortunately this came after Forest once again gifted two soft goals to the opposition, and if you give an in-form team a two goal head start, we all know how it is likely to end. Baz reports on a game where Forest at last gave the opposition keeper something to do.

The Hangover Part III: Huddersfield 1-0 Forest - The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 26 Sep 2020 10:12:50 -0000

Another defeat, another blank and another bad night at the office for Sabri Lamouchi. It was always going to be the case that the first team to score would win this one, and despite Ben Hamer making good saves from Sammy Ameobi and Loic Mbe Soh, the Reds' night was characterised by the lack of chances created, especially in the second half.

In this special match report, we are joined by the Maradona of the Midlands and Kosi from Huddersfield Town podcast And He Takes That Chance, to review all the night's action. We reflect upon those saves by Hamer, that goal by Fraizer Campbell, and thank the Lord that Adama Bloody Diakhaby didn't score. We also hear an interesting story about that first minute challenge by Jonathan Hogg on Harry Arter - it should have been a red card for the Terriers' skipper, but it sounds like there was some history behind it. In the meantime, Forest lick their wounds and seek a glimmer of hope - we can't find one either.

Finding the dressing room: Forest 0-2 Cardiff - the 1865 Forest Ramble

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 20 Sep 2020 09:33:11 -0000

This episode could have been called "The Hangover Part 2", as two ludicrously soft goals in the first half gifted the game to Cardiff, and Forest looked just as poor as they had done against Barnsley and QPR.

Except there were signs of life as the half-time Lucozade kicked in; the first-half tactical switch that saw Joe Lolley replaced by Lyle Taylor actually paid dividends as the Cardiff defence had more to think about, and the movement and guile of Luke Freeman made more of an impression as he came in from the right hand side, rather than playing as an orthodox number 10.

Sure, Cardiff could take their foot off the gas as they probably had the points in the bag already, but Forest looked more energetic, had more forward movement and actually created chances, and at least warmed the gloves of Cardiff's Alex Smithies.

Still no goals, and still no points, so there's a long way to go; but the second half performance may have helped the confidence of players, manager and supporters.

Sabri under pressure: QPR 2-0 Forest. The 1865 Forest Ramble

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 13 Sep 2020 20:10:41 -0000

#nffc have a hangover... the first two matches of the season have seen Forest slumped over the toilet, desperately in need of a win to ease their splitting headache and a terrible wave of nausea.

The defeats at Barnsley and QPR have exposed the harsh reality that Forest have not managed to draw a line under the disaster of the run-in, and players and management alike need to step up to the starting marks.

However, this podcast believes that Sabri Lamouchi should be given some time to try and make a difference - for all the disappointment of the draw at Derby last season, it offered a glimmer of hope that Forest are capable of playing on the front foot and taking the game to their opponents. Sabri has suggested that he wants Forest to offer more going forward, and crucially the club have backed him both with backroom staff and new players.

September and October are crucial months for Sabri, for new players to bed in, old ones to rediscover their mojo, and for us to see if the coaching staff can implement some new ideas. A win - any win - would be a boon, like a bacon sandwich wth a cup of coffee and two paracetamol.

Style Counsel: 1865 Forest Ramble September 2020

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sun, 06 Sep 2020 19:11:08 -0000

Forest's season started with an underwhelming awayday at Barnsley in the Carabao Cup. While it might be a blessing to "concentrate on the league", the manner of defeat and style of play gave concern to many Reds fans.

We debate team selection, new signing and what they can bring, and most notably whgether Forest's style of play will evolve this season.

We also have some thoughts about the club's communication with fans, especially season card holders who are awaiting news of how they can follow their team.

Whimper, not a bang: Forest Ramble Podcast, July 2020

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Sat, 25 Jul 2020 17:30:17 -0000

This wasn't supposed to be the end of the season, was it? As Forest have dramatically and spectacularly failed to make the play-offs, Rich Ferraro leads a post-mortem on the Reds' performance in 2019-20; Baz, Steven Toplis and the Maradona of the Midlands share their thoughts on a variety of issues, and there is a short-but-sweet end-of-season sketch from Jeremy Davies:

Should Sabri stay or go?
Was the problem mental or physical?
Squad strength and recruitment
Can Forest do a Leeds next season?

Follow us on Twitter (@nottm_forest), or search for "Forest Ramble" on Instagram and Facebook. We don't know what will happen to the players and manager, but we do know that we will still be supporting #nffc next season. Have a great summer.

“I don’t have the words”: Nottingham Forest 1-4 Stoke City mini match report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Wed, 22 Jul 2020 21:44:01 -0000

Everything that we feared, everything that we hoped wouldn’t happen, everything we had seen before against Yeovil and Blackpool - all of that came true again tonight. Forest only have themselves to blame, as after an hour, they had levelled the scores and should have been in control. Congratulations to Swansea for doing what they had to do, but once again Forest have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. There will be much to reflect upon over the break, but tonight can be summed up by the disbelief on Joe Lolley’s face after the final whistle.

"Exactly what they deserved - nothing": Barnsley 1-0 Nottingham Forest mini match report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Mon, 20 Jul 2020 16:27:15 -0000

Barnsley 1-0 Nottingham Forest

That was bad, wasn't it? A match which Forest not only deserved to lose, but in which they were abject and incapable of stringing two passes together. Fair play to Barnsley, they played well and were deserved victors. Only Sabri Lamouchi would know why he chose an unfamiliar formation, but no-one will know why all the players were so bad; second-choice goalkeeper Jordan Smith was the only player to come out of this one with the slightest bit of credit.

Once again, #nffc succumbed to a late goal, which does not inspire confidence for the play-offs, and that's assuming results go the right way on Wednesday. A despondent Steven Toplis reports on a bad afternoon for Forest at Oakwell.

Sammy AmeOBE: Nottingham Forest 2-2 Swansea City mini match report

forestramble@gmail.com (1865) — Thu, 16 Jul 2020 07:35:32 -0000

Two goals from Sammy Ameobi were the highlight of a topsy-turvy evening at the City Ground, as Forest just didn't turn up for the first fifteen minutes, before looking sharper, brighter and more creative in the second.

Really, the Reds should have won this match, but were lucky not to be down to ten men as Tobias Figueiredo was subbed before he was sent off. That doesn't excuse a mystifying performance from referee Oliver Langford, who never seemed in control of the match; he had to send off Kyle Naughton towards the end, but Andre Ayew had him under his thumb all match, as exemplified by the award of the penalty (it wasn't), and his tolerance of the actual spot-kick (stuttering is allowed, stopping isn't).

Overall, some pleasing elements, most notably the tactical changes that saw Forest improve in the second half; but it is hard to escape the feeling that Forest should have taken all of the points tonight. We're not there yet, and it would be great if we could gather some momentum, rather than stuttering, Ayew-style, to the end of the season.

A lacklustre performance from Forest suggested a hangover from Derby’s last-minute equaliser at the weeked, as Harry Arter’s goal saw Fulham take all three points. Steven Toplis reflects upon a match that never really got going, and in which any promise from Forest fizzled out as Joe Lolley succumbed to injury and Arter produced the only real moment of quality on the stroke of half-time.

In many ways, Dexter Blackstock's debut goal had it all…power, technique, and it was a stoppage time winner. In other ways, this was probably Forest’s most important goal of this particular season, kickstarting the form and mentality that would enable Forest to escape the drop after just one season in the Championship.

This moment was Bergkamp-esque - hard to describe, but you cannot help but marvel at the movement, and the way in which Simon Cox brings the ball down over his shoulder, before poking it past the goalkeeper in the same movement. Cox’s finest moment in a Forest shirt won the Championship Goal Of The Season that year.

This free-kick was just astonishing; despite the distance (nearly 40 yards), there was never any doubt in Lewis McGugan’s mind. A combination of power and swerve meant that the Ipswich goalkeeper never stood a chance. This won the Championship Goal Of The Season and was Brazilian in its brilliance.
