Nottingham Forest 0-2 Brentford: The 1865 Match Report, May 2025

Despite the monumental achievement of European football, there was a palpable sense of disappointment at the City Ground as the Reds failed to qualify for the Champions' League, even though other results went the way that we needed them to. In truth, Chelsea had the extra nous to get over the line, and Chris Wood missed two very preventable chances in a match where neither keeper was particularly tested. Steven Toplis and Tom Newton pick themselves up to analyse the game and we are joined by Nick from That Chelsea Podcast for a view from the opposition. We'll be back next week with our end of season Football Terrorists show.

A much-needed win for the Reds in a match featuring three goals, sixteen minutes of stoppage time, a six minute VAR check and multiple tributes to Taiwo Awoniyi. Goals for Morgan Gibbs-White and Nikola Milenković earned the points, despite Jarrod Bowen's late consolation. It's tight at the top in the run for the Champions' League, with Forest in 7th, but only a point behind Newcastle in third. Eek. Presented by George Edwards, with Tom Newton (back from parental leave). The view from the opposition comes from Jamie of the We Are West Ham podcast.

As the race for the Champions' League gets ever tighter, Forest will probably be happy with a point from this one. They played some nice stuff and looked more composed in the first half, with Sangaré partnering Anderson in central midfield. After falling behind to Eberechi Eze's penalty, Murillo deflected Neco Williams' wayward shot for a quick response. Steven and George discuss the game and whether this was a deserved point or a lucky escape. We also have a view from the home fans, from Palace Mad Mason.
