Pete Blackburn was at the City Ground for Forest Focus as Oliver Glasner spoke to the press before Nottingham Forest's Premier League game against Brentford.

Matt Davies is joined by Daniel Storey and Seb Hutchinson to answer the question posed by listeners on yesterday's show - are Nottingham Forest in a relegation battle? We tackle that and ask if Oliver Glasner is really an elite manager, is the squad mid-table quality and how accurate is XG? #nffc #nottinghamforest

Matt Davies is joined Mark Sutherns, Pete Blackburn and former Nottingham Forest defender Kelvin Wilson to reflect on the 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town and where it leaves Forest in the Premier League. We'll look ahead to upcoming games and ask if players can maintain performance levels but start taking their chances (and cut out costly errors). We'll also ask if any changes need to be made to the team, especially in attack with fans questioning Dan Ndoye and new signing Liam Delap. #nffc #nottinghamforest

Nottingham Forest drew 1-1 Ipswich Town in the first game of the weekend in the Premier League. Neco Williams put Forest ahead as he finished an excellent Daniel Munoz cross. However a terrible error from Nikola Milenkovic led to an equaliser. Forest dominated the second half and were denied a chance to play against 10 men when referee Thomas Bramall decided not to send off Issa Diop for a foul on James McAtee which he somehow initially missed before a VAR intervention. Matt Davies is joined by Chris Aylmer and Simon Fotheringham to discuss the game in full. #nffc #nottinghamforest
