Nottingham Forest were beaten by an impressive Brighton team in the Premier League on Sunday. It was a difficult day for Morato as he covered for an injured Murillo. We discuss if he should keep his place against Wolves if Murillo is out. We also ask if Omari Hutchinson has to start after impressing off the bench again as well as who should cover for Morgan Gibbs-White if he succumbs to a back problem.
Matt Davies is joined by Dan Cook, Rob Adcock and former Reds defender Kelvin Wilson. #nffc #nottinghamforest

Nottingham Forest were beaten 2-0 by Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League as they missed a chance to make it four wins in a row in all competitions. Brighton could have been four or five goals ahead after 20 minutes but Forest came into the game without getting on the scoresheet. Brighton won it with goals from Maxim de Cuyper and Stefanos Tzimas, the latter after two terrible errors by Morato.
Matt Davies is joined by Chris Aylmer and Paul Morley to discuss the game in full. #nffc #nottinghamforest

Nottingham Forest faced Malmo in a repeat of the 1979 European Cup final when the sides meet in the Europa League at the City Ground.

There was an injury scare though for Murillo as he went off holding his hamstring in the second half.
Matt Davies is joined by Simon Fotheringham and former Reds midfielder Sam Collins to discuss whatever happens in full. #nffc #nottinghamforest

Nottingham Forest won for the second season in a row at Anfield and this time it was even better as Sean Dyche's team beat Liverpool 3-0 with goals from Murillo, Nicolo Savona and Morgan Gibbs-White.
Matt Davies is joined by Michael Temple, Pete Blackburn and former Reds defender James Perch as we review the game and ask if Forest should now reset their Premier League ambitions despite being just a point above the relegation zone still. We'll also ask if Igor Jesus is now first choice striker over Chris Wood and if there are any better Premier League full-backs than Neco Williams. #nffc #nottinghamforest

Matt Davies is joined by Liverpool fan and analyst Josh Williams ahead of Nottingham Forest's trip to Anfield in the Premier League. Both thought Liverpool would win the title before a ball was kicked but Arne Slot's team have lost five out of 11 games so far and are currently eighth.
We discuss what's gone wrong and why, key battles to be won, Slot's tactics and if they have actually started to a corner in the last three games having won two without conceding. #nffc #nottinghamforest #lfc

Matt Davies is joined by Mark Sutherns and Pete Blackburn as we preview Nottingham Forest's trip to Liverpool in the Premier League. Arne Slot's team were big favourites to win the title again at the start of the season but have lost five out of 11 games. Having won 1-0 at Anfield a year ago, could Forest spring another shock or are we forgetting Forest's own struggles this season?
We discuss all that as well as look at team selection as Omari Hutchinson pushes for a start after impressing off the bench against Leeds United before the international break. #nffc #nottinghamforest
