Talking Reds: a Nottingham Forest podcast

Forest are into the Europa League quarter-finals after a huge night in Denmark — a 2-1 win away at FC Midtjylland, followed by a confident penalty shootout performance to get the job done. On today’s TALKING ReDS, Greg Oram and Richard Spray are joined by Jamie Tatler and Steph Wilkinson to break down everything from that win — the goals, the key decisions, the disallowed moments, and the mentality shown in extra time and the shootout. But this isn’t just about Europe. We also turn our full attention to Sunday’s massive Premier League clash away at Tottenham — a game that could define Forest’s league trajectory. With momentum building from Europe, how does Vítor Pereira approach selection, energy levels, and game plan just three days later? A European high… and now a huge domestic test. 🙌 We’re so grateful for your support.

Forest 0–0 Fulham | Missed Chances Again Nottingham Forest were held to a 0–0 draw with Fulham at the City Ground, and once again the key issue was clear — Forest created chances but couldn’t convert them. A major moment arrived in the second half when Dan Ndoye thought he had scored the winner, only for the goal to be ruled out by VAR for offside in the build-up. As the Premier League relegation battle tightens, every point matters — but with opportunities missed, the question remains: was this a valuable point or two dropped? Hosted by Greg Oram and Richard Spray, with panel guests Raf, The Random Pundit and Bruce Johnstone, this episode analyses: The key moments from the 0-0 draw The VAR decision that denied Forest the winner Forest’s continuing problems in front of goal Tactical shape and performances across the pitch What the result means for the relegation fight 🙌 We’re so grateful for your support.

Nottingham Forest’s Europa League hopes have taken a hit after a frustrating 1-0 defeat at the City Ground to FC Midtjylland in the first leg of the last-16 tie. Despite dominating large spells of the match and firing over 20 shots, Forest couldn’t find a way through before Cho Gue-sung’s late header stunned the home crowd. On today’s episode of TALKING ReDS, Greg Oram & Richard Spray are joined by Dave Thompson to break down a difficult night on the banks of the Trent. We’ll analyse: • Why Forest created so many chances but still couldn’t score • The key tactical decisions from Vítor Pereira • The defensive lapse that allowed Midtjylland to steal the advantage • Whether the tie can still be turned around in Denmark Then in the second half of the pod, attention turns to a huge Premier League clash with Fulham on Sunday. With Forest balancing European ambitions and the pressure of the relegation fight, we ask: Can Pereira rotate? Do Forest need to prioritise the league now? And what does the Fulham game mean for the run-in? A big European setback, but another massive Premier League test just days away. 🙌 We’re so grateful for your support.

Nottingham Forest went to the Etihad Stadium and came away with a huge point — a hard-fought 2–2 draw with Manchester City that could prove vital in the relegation battle. In this episode Greg Oram & Richard Spray are joined by Tricky Tree Travel's Alan Merryweather to break down a battling Forest performance, two excellent goals, and a result that keeps Forest outside the bottom three despite West Ham’s win over Fulham. We analyse Vítor Pereira’s switch to a back three, why the system looked far more balanced for Forest, and whether this performance signals a genuine turning point in mentality and belief. A big night, a valuable point, and plenty to discuss. The Cheese Trader is offering 10% discount every time to order and quote Talking Reds!!

Forest leave Brighton with another damaging defeat — two goals conceded inside 15 minutes, familiar mistakes, and too many players miles off it when the game was there to be competed for. Once again, the questions aren’t just about the result, but about patterns that keep repeating: soft goals, slow starts, and a side that looks stretched. And that’s where the conversation turns serious. With Manchester City away on Wednesday, fatigue is no longer theoretical — it’s visible. Do Forest push on in Europe and risk burning out in the league? Or is survival now the only priority, even if that means difficult compromises and rotation? This isn’t just a Brighton post-mortem. It’s a wider reckoning — about squad depth, energy levels, decision-making, and whether the Europa League is starting to work against Forest in a Premier League relegation battle. Brighton exposed the problems. City will punish them if nothing changes. Join the Talking Reds hosts, Greg Oram & Richard Spray along with panel guests Paul Morley and Raf, The Random Pundit.

Leading 3–0 from the first leg, Forest were rocked as Fenerbahçe scored twice to make it 2–0 on the night and suddenly turn the tie on its head. With momentum swinging, Callum Hudson-Odoi’s goal proved decisive as Forest steadied themselves and closed the game out to win 4–2 on aggregate.

Friday night. Elland Road. Same points. Proper pressure. Join Greg, Richard, Raf, The Random Pundit and Premier Elliot at 12pm as we preview Leeds United vs Nottingham Forest — a game that feels massive because it is massive. Both teams go into it level on 26 points, and with the table tightening, this one isn’t about “performances” — it’s about who holds their nerve. What we’ll cover: Why this fixture matters for both clubs right now (momentum, margins, mindset) Forest’s approach under Dyche — structure, game management, and where the goals have to come from Leeds at Elland Road on a Friday night — intensity, tempo, and what Forest must survive early Key battles: set-pieces, second balls, transitions, and the midfield fight Selection headaches and how suspensions/injuries could shape the plan Leeds come into this after a bruising 4–0 home defeat to Arsenal, while Forest are coming off a gritty 1–1 draw with Crystal Palace where they played a full second half with ten men — so there’s a real question of legs vs adrenaline on the night.
