    NOTTINGHAM FOREST V MAN CITY | OPPOSITION PREVIEW AS THEIR ONLY WEAKNESS EXPLAINED

    Nottingham Forest look to have a near impossible task as they welcome Manchester City to the City Ground on Sunday. However, they did draw with Pep Guardiola's team last season and will be hoping to cause another shock this time.

    Ahead of the game, we spoke with Simon Bajkowski, Man City writer for the Manchester Evening News to discuss what chance Forest have against a team pushing for the title again. #NFFC

    NOTTINGHAM FOREST VS MAN CITY PREVIEW | TIME TO SHOW SOME FIGHT AGAINST TITLE FAVOURITES

    Nottingham Forest face arguably their most difficult game of the season when they host Manchester City at the City Ground on Sunday. With Forest barely above the Premier League relegation zone, any kind of positive result would be massive for Nuno's team.

    Can they do it? Who should start? How should Forest approach the game? We'll discuss all that with Matt Davies, Greg Mitchell and Emily Anderson.

    NOTTINGHAM FOREST VS THE PREMIER LEAGUE AS PGMOL AUDIO DEMAND MADE | ARE THEY WINNING THE PR WAR?

    NOTTINGHAM FOREST VS THE PREMIER LEAGUE AS PGMOL AUDIO DEMAND MADE | ARE THEY WINNING THE PR WAR?

    Nottingham Forest have requested the release of the VAR audio around three controversially rejected penalty appeals against Everton. A further statement has demanded greater transparency around VAR and referee allegiances after saying Luton fan Stuart Attwell should not have been involved in the game.

    We'll discuss all that and the latest on the pitch matters with broadcaster Darren Fletcher and Forest legend Garry Birtles. #nffc

    NOTTINGHAM FOREST ROBBED BY VAR BUT IS CLUB TWEET A DISTRACTION FROM THE REAL PROBLEM?

    EVERTON 2 NOTTINGHAM FOREST 0 | EMBARRASING DAY PUSHES REDS CLOSER TO RELEGATION

    EVERTON 2 NOTTINGHAM FOREST 0 | EMBARRASING DAY PUSHES REDS CLOSER TO RELEGATION

    Nottingham Forest blew a huge chance to boost their Premier League survival hopes as they lost 2-0 to Everton on a day when they were nowhere near good enough. They should have had three penalties as VAR Stuart Attwell said no each time, prompting Forest's official X (Twitter) account to complain that he is a Luton fan who should not have had the job. Matt Davies, Mark Sutherns and Mikey Clarke discuss all that as Forest hover just above the relegation zone. #nffc

Yankee Doodle Dandy NFFC ,

Great Podcast

Yank here. It may not be the only Forest podcast I listen to but it’s my favorite and the first one on my list. Reminds me of the days Temps scoring at the Trent End.

Losing traction

Good initial transition from Garibaldi Red, but probably due to trying to make too many episodes, there seems to be a proliferation of piffle making its way into the episodes. Examples like: discussion about random podcaster’s wife not liking lamb, favorite curry, promotion of events that you would need to live in Nottingham to attend, etc.
Does Matt, how about editing before uploading?

Detroit London ,

Glad to hear you!

I was a regular on the Garibaldi Red podcast/youtube episodes and was saddened when I tuned in and this crew was gone. Then I came across Forest Focus. Same group, same wisdom, same interaction - it’s great. Tune in to FF and get updated. Regards from Detroit!
