    Manchester City v Nottingham Forest Match Review
    Mar 5 2026
    Nottingham Forest went to the Etihad Stadium and came away with a huge point — a hard-fought 2–2 draw with Manchester City that could prove vital in the relegation battle. In this episode Greg Oram & Richard Spray are joined by Tricky Tree Travel's Alan Merryweather to break down a battling Forest performance, two excellent goals, and a result that keeps Forest outside the bottom three despite West Ham’s win over Fulham. We analyse Vítor Pereira’s switch to a back three, why the system looked far more balanced for Forest, and whether this performance signals a genuine turning point in mentality and belief. A big night, a valuable point, and plenty to discuss. The Cheese Trader is offering 10% discount every time to order and quote Talking Reds!!

  • Brighton Crush The Reds + Man City v Nottingham Forest Preview

    Brighton Crush The Reds + Man City v Nottingham Forest Preview
    Mar 2 2026
    Forest leave Brighton with another damaging defeat — two goals conceded inside 15 minutes, familiar mistakes, and too many players miles off it when the game was there to be competed for. Once again, the questions aren’t just about the result, but about patterns that keep repeating: soft goals, slow starts, and a side that looks stretched. And that’s where the conversation turns serious. With Manchester City away on Wednesday, fatigue is no longer theoretical — it’s visible. Do Forest push on in Europe and risk burning out in the league? Or is survival now the only priority, even if that means difficult compromises and rotation? This isn’t just a Brighton post-mortem. It’s a wider reckoning — about squad depth, energy levels, decision-making, and whether the Europa League is starting to work against Forest in a Premier League relegation battle. Brighton exposed the problems. City will punish them if nothing changes. Join the Talking Reds hosts, Greg Oram & Richard Spray along with panel guests Paul Morley and Raf, The Random Pundit.
