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

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! Rich is joined by Jeremy Davies, Steven Toplis, Baz, Tom Newton and 1865 debutant Nick Miller, football writer for The Athletic. Like what you hear?

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.

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace. "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.

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace. 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.

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.

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace. 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. Tom Newton reports from the Forest perspective, and we also hear from Jonathan Sparkes from the Cherries Red Army channel, with an away fans' view.  Like what you hear?

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

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