    Kalimuendo out, who in? | Wrexham vs Nottingham Forest preview
    Jan 8 2026
    Arnauld Kalimuendo has officially left Nottingham Forest to join Eintracht Frankfurt on loan with the German club having an option to sign him on a permanent deal at the end of the season. With Chris Wood injured, Taiwo Awoniyi looking a shadow of the player he was and Igor Jesus struggling for goals, Forest are in desperate need of a striker. Matt Davies is joined by Dan Cook and the i paper's chief football writer Daniel Storey to discuss that situation and some possible options to bring in with Wolves' Jorgen Strand Larsen at the top of the list in the media. Callum Wilson also looks set to leave West Ham and become a free agent. We also preview the FA Cup third round tie at Wrexham as Forest look to avoid an early upset exit. #nffc #nottinghamforest 🙏 Do like and subscribe to our channel.

  • Win at West Ham the spark for Nottingham Forest or a false dawn?

    Win at West Ham the spark for Nottingham Forest or a false dawn?
    Jan 7 2026
    Nottingham Forest were 2-1 winners against West Ham United in a massive game at the bottom of the Premier League. It was a huge win for Forest but far from a polished performance as a series of big moments went their way at the London Stadium. We'll review the key moments and ask if this win can spark Forest into form or if it was a false dawn for the team and Sean Dyche. Matt Davies is joined by Pete Blackburn and former Reds defender Kelvin Wilson. #nffc #nottinghamforest 🙏 Do like and subscribe to our channel.

    West Ham 1 Nottingham Forest 2 match verdict | Unbearable tension but a win!
    Jan 6 2026
    Nottingham Forest beat West Ham United 2-1 in the Premier League thanks to Morgan Gibbs-White's late penalty. A massive win for Forest takes them seven points clear of West Ham in the table and eases pressure on both Forest and manager Sean Dyche with the Reds going into the game after losing four in a row. Forest rode their luck though, but the win was all that matters on the night.

    West Ham vs Nottingham Forest opposition verdict | Nuno's last stand?
    Jan 5 2026
    Matt Davies is joined by the Mail on Sunday's James Sharpe as we look at the mess West Ham United are in ahead of facing Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Tuesday night. It's a massive game for both teams as victory for Forest would take them seven points clear of the Hammers. We discuss how West Ham got in this state, if former Reds boss Nuno is to blame, if he is a game from the sack, West Ham team news and the best way to beat them. #nffc #nottinghamforest 🙏 Do like and subscribe to our channel.

    West Ham v Nottingham Forest match preview | Time to attack!
    Jan 5 2026
    Nottingham Forest face on their biggest games since their return to the Premier League as they go to West Ham United on Tuesday night. A win would see Forest go seven points clear of Nuno's beleaguered side with a superior goal difference. However, defeat would leave the gap at one point and put Sean Dyche in the spotlight with Forest having lost their last four games. Matt Davies is joined by Mikey Clarke, Pete Blackburn and former Reds defender James Perch to preview the game in full and reflect on Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa. #nffc #nottinghamforest 🙏 Do like and subscribe to our channel.

    Aston Villa 3 Nottingham Forest 1 post match verdict | Self destruct from Reds!
    Jan 3 2026
    Nottingham Forest were beaten 3-1 at Aston Villa in the Premier League's first game of 2026. It was a case of hitting the self destruct button as Forest played incredibly defensively before conceding on the stroke of half time. Villa scored again at the start of the second after losing the ball cheaply before John Victor gifted them a third after Morgan Gibbs-White had pulled a goal back. Matt Davies is joined by Mark Sutherns, Michael Temple and, fresh from commentating on the game for Sky Sports, Seb Hutchinson. #nffc #nottinghamforest 🙏 Do like and subscribe to our channel.

    Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest opposition verdict | Any hope of a shock?
    Jan 2 2026
    Nottingham Forest head to Aston Villa in the Premier League for their first game of 2026 on Saturday. Villa are third in the league and won 11 consecutive games in all competitions before defeat to Arsenal last time out. Forest are 17th and have lost their last three, but have played well against the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City this season. It looks a daunting task for Forest but do Villa have weaknesses Forest can exploit? Matt Davies is joined by our Villa fan regular Steve Farmer. #nffc #nottinghamforest #avfc 🙏 Do like and subscribe to our channel.

    52 crosses and Taiwo madness? | Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest preview
    Dec 31 2025
    Nottingham Forest were beaten 2-0 at home by Everton on Tuesday night as they failed to score after putting 52 crosses into the visiting penalty area. That angered Forest fans, as did Sean Dyche's use of the bench as Taiwo Awoniyi was again preferred to Arnauld Kalimuendo to replace Igor Jesus. Matt Davies is joined by Steve Battlemuch and former Reds winger Franz Carr to discuss the game, the relegation battle, the January transfer window and Saturday's game at Aston Villa. #nffc #nottinghamforest 🙏 Do like and subscribe to our channel.
