    Aston Villa 3 Nottingham Forest 1 post match verdict | Self destruct from Reds!

    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?

    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

    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.

    Nottingham Forest 1 Man City 2 match verdict | Deserved more!

    Nottingham Forest were beaten 2-1 by Manchester City in the Premier League at the City Ground. It was a brave performance from Forest, who deserved to take something from the game after Omari Hutchinson made it 1-1. Rayan Cherki was instrumental for City and he hit the winner when Forest felt Morgan Gibbs-White was fouled.

    Nottingham Forest's greatest ever player John Robertson | A tribute

    Nottingham Forest's greatest ever player, John Robertson, died at the age of 72 on Christmas Day after suffering from Parkinson's disease for a number of years. Robertson was a league title winner and the man who set up Trevor Francis' goal against Malmo in the 1979 European Cup final. A year later he scored the winner himself against Hamburg. In our tribute, we hear from Robertson's former teammate Garry Birtles, broadcaster Darren Fletcher and podcast regular Steve Battlemuch to give the fan point of view on a great player and great man. #nffc #nottinghamforest 🙏 Do like and subscribe to our channel.
