Forest Focus

Show Notes

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

Oct 23, 2026

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

Oct 22, 2026

Matt Davies is joined by Joe from the Blue Monday podcast to tell us more about Ipswich Town ahead of their game against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Friday night. We discuss their strong start to the season, key players and if this a game the Tractor Boys are targeting given Forest's poor start. #nffc #nottinghamforest

Oct 21, 2026

Matt Davies is joined by Greg Mitchell, Mikey Clarke and Simon Bristow as we preview Nottingham Forest's trip to Ipswich Town in the Premier League. With Forest having slipped to 19th after three successive defeats, we ask if this is a must win game to get the season back on track and fans united behind Oliver Glasner. We also discuss team selection with Morgan Gibbs-White set to return from injury. #nffc #nottinghamforest

Oct 20, 2026

Matt Davies is joined Steve Battlemuch, Will Tomlinson and former Nottingham Forest midfielder Lewis McGugan for our latest listener Q&A. We discuss the start to the season of course and if Forest will improve after sliding into the Premier League relegation zone after seven games. We also take questions on a lack of set piece goals, Matz Sels' future and if Forest will have to buy a midfielder and number 10 in January. #nffc #nottinghamforest

Oct 19, 2026

Matt Davies is joined by Emily Williamson, Michael Temple and former Nottingham Forest winger Franz Carr to reflect on the defeat to Arsenal which left Forest in the Premier League relegation zone. Underlying data says they are better than results so far but the league table looks grim with tough games to come. We discuss the 1-0 loss and ask if better times are ahead with a big game against Ipswich up next on Friday night. #nffc #nottinghamforest
