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

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. Like what you hear?

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.

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. Like what you hear?

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.

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.

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.

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. Like what you hear?

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.
