It was another long night in the FA Cup, as the Reds played 120 mins and needed penalties to beat Ipswich Town. The home team will feel like the worthy winners, and once again all their efforts in the shoot-out were superbly slotted home. Ryan Yates had equalised George Hirst's header in regulation time, leading to the extra period, and Forest once again brought on some of the big guns to get over the line. Rich Ferraro is joined by Steven Toplis to discuss the match, the team and tactical switches, and also the celebrations at the end. We'll be back later in the week with your Friday 5 roundup and your Manchester City match report. Come on you Reds!

The recent evening with Billy Davies saw him joined by Terry the Kitman, Wes Morgan and Lee Camp for tales from both of the Scotsman's spells at the club, split into the Doughty years and the Fawaz era. There were a few surprising takes and a bit of dirt dished on some key personnel around the club. Our men Steven, Tom and the Maradona of the Midlands were there, with Maradona presenting this special show looking back on what we learned and reflecting upon what feels like a turbulent spell for the club.

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.
