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

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!

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.

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!

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.
