Nottingham Forest 2-3 Brighton: The 1865 Premier League Match Report

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace. It's a bit of a shock to the system to lose two matches in a row after the run that Forest have been on since Chris Hughton left, but a Covid-disrupted Reds team will feel that they should have got at least a point, and probably three, out of this one - they certainly had enough chances. Baz is joined by Tom Newton to discuss a match where Huddersfield only had three real shots on target, but scored the only goal; whereas Forest just couldn't put the ball in the net. Was Steve Cooper out-manoeuvred tactically by Carlos Corberan, or was the defeat down to the lack of depth in the Forest squad? Despite the disappointing last few days, we are still optimistic for the New Year. We want to thank you for listening and wish you all a healthy and happy new year.

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace. We knew this would happen eventually, and today Chris Wilder's Middlesbrough were tactically and physically superior to Forest for 90% of the match. A woeful own goal by Ryan Yates gave the hosts the lead, and they really should have scored three or four before the break. Forest had a good ten minute spell on the hour, but Philip Zinckernagel and Joe Worrall were off target, and Andraz Sporar put the game to bed shortly afterwards. Rich Ferraro and the Maradona of the Midlands discuss the game, in particular the full-back positions, Steve Cooper's tactical options, and introduction of Joao Carvalho and Xande Silva from the bench.

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace. All of a sudden, Forest are just outside the play-off places with half the season played, and I'm not sure many Reds fans would have predicted that back in September. Rich Ferraro is joined by Steven Toplis, Tom Newton and Baz to discuss Steve Cooper's methods and mentality, and discuss whether this is a flash in the pan, or the start of a legacy. There are two elephants in the room, the transfer window and Covid-19, and we ponder over their possible effects. We also hear your opinions, Jeremy Davies pops up with his monthly sketch, we play Guess That Red, and have another great giveaway courtesy of our friends at theterracestore.com - listen to the podcast and email forestramble@gmail.com with your answer by 8pm on Monday 27th December for a chance to win. Wishing our listeners, and all Forest fans, a very Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Happy New Year.

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace. Another victory for Forest, but a hard-fought one where the Reds had to come from behind and overcome losing two players to injury. It was a murky day by the Trent, and with the spectre of Covid causing disruption to football and our Christmas plans, this was a day when things could have gone awry, especially after Kean Lewis-Potter opened the scoring just before the break. However, second half goals from Lewis Grabban (pen) and Brennan Johnson saw the home team claim victory and the fans leave with smiles on their faces. Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to talk about the misfortunes of Jordi Osei-Tutu and Alex Mighten, who both made good contributions before succumbing to injury; a controversial penalty; and the brilliance of Johnson's finish when bagging the winning goal.

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace. Forest go from strength to strength under Steve Cooper with a brilliant 4-1 win at Swansea City; the Reds putting in a clinical performance against Cooper's former employers and providing the travelling Reds supporters with a day to remember.  The first half was a goalless affair, with Swansea just edging it on chances created. However, the second half saw five goals, four of them for the visitors! Philip Zinckernagel got things going with a ferocious strike from just inside the area on 48 minutes before Lewis Grabban doubled Forest's lead two minutes later after a fine move orchestrated by Djed Spence and Brennan Johnson down the right. Joel Piroe made it 2-1 with a shot that deflected in off Ryan Yates but Johnson restored the two-goal cushion soon after as he pounced on a mistake by Swans goalkeeper Ben Hamer. Swansea pushed in the closing stages but Cooper's men wrapped things up in injury time as Cafu fired home Lyle Taylor's cutback to seal a tremendous win. Steven Toplis is joined by Tom Newton to reflect on events in South Wales, including Forest's clinical qualities, Cooper's continued impact, the return of Jordi Osei-Tutu and our new centre-back - Ryan Yates!

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace. After three successive Championship draws, Forest got back to winning ways against struggling Peterborough, on a wet and blustery City Ground afternoon. The first half offered very little in terms of quality, although Philip Zinckernagel almost put the Reds ahead within the first minute as his drive from range was tipped away by Posh 'keeper David Cornell, and later Lewis Grabban later fired into the side netting from an angle. The second half was a big improvement; Forest came out pressing Peterborough higher up the pitch, playing with a greater pace and intensity. They were rewarded on 72 minutes as Grabban's miscued finish fell to James Garner in the box to prod home, before Ryan Yates wrapped things up 12 minutes later (even if he didn't know much about it!) as he turned Garner's corner into the net. The performance of the referee (suprise, surprise) frustrated both Forest and Peterborough, particularly the Reds when he turned down a strong second-half handball penalty shout with the score at 0-0. In the end it didn't matter as Forest did what they needed to in order to win, leaving them six points off the playoffs and with a record of 27 points and one defeat from their last 14 games. Rich Ferraro is joined by Steven Toplis to mull over Saturday's events, with Grabban, Garner, the referee and the weather all featuring!

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace. Another match, another draw for the Reds. This game was probably not that high on quality but there were some talking points. West Brom huffed and puffed and occasionally got in behind the Forest backline, but they offered little upfront and Brice Samba only had one notable save to make. Forest were similarly blunt in the final third, with Sam Johnstone palming over Brennan Johnson's deflected effort. However, there is still much to be pleased about - Forest were missing Max Lowe and Jack Colback, but were still competitive throughout, and after Jayson Molumby's red card the away side looked the most likely, with attacking substitutions, efforts blocked, and crosses just missed. There was still a get out of jail moment when Jordan Hugill showed a lack of composure in front of goal, but it says a lot that Steve Cooper's Reds were disappointed with an away draw at an ex-Premier League side.

1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast is proud to partner with FanHub and The Terrace. A goalless draw at the City Ground only tells half the story, on a night short on quality but with plenty of incident. Unfortunately, most eyes were on referee Jeremy Simpson, who was trying to make a name for himself by awarding a penalty to Luton, sending off Jack Colback, and then denying the Reds what looked like a clear penalty at the other end. It says a lot when both managers are unhappy with the officials. Both teams could have won it - Brice Samba saved the pen and then made a great save later on, but Lyle Taylor could have given Forest the lead earlier on. As well as Samba, there were good performances by Scott McKenna and debutant Braian Ojeda. We speak to Luton fan Ryan McCole to discuss the major talking points.
