    Nottingham Forest Season Review 2025/26

    A season unlike any other. European nights. Relegation pressure. Chaos in the dugout. Moments of genuine pride. And somehow, through all of it, Nottingham Forest are still standing as a Premier League club. On today’s TALKING ReDS, Greg Oram and Richard Spray are joined by Raf The Random Pundit for a full review of Forest’s extraordinary 2025/26 campaign — a season that will be remembered for years at the City Ground. This was a year of turbulence and instability as Forest went through FOUR different managers across the course of the campaign, lurching from crisis to revival and back again before eventually finding stability under Vitor Pereira. And yet somehow, amid all the noise, Forest still managed to produce one of the club’s greatest modern European journeys. The panel look back on: The chaos and consequences of four managerial reigns in one season How Vitor Pereira steadied the club during the run-in Forest’s remarkable Europa League adventure to the semi-finals The survival battle that ran alongside the European campaign Morgan Gibbs-White’s leadership and influence throughout the season The defining tactical decisions, turning points and controversies Which players rose to the occasion — and who disappointed Whether survival and Europe together make this a successful season There’s reflection on the unforgettable European nights at the City Ground, the emotional toll of the relegation fight, and how Forest supporters somehow rode every twist of a season that often felt impossible to predict. A raw, honest and emotional look back at one of the most dramatic seasons Nottingham Forest F.C. have experienced in decades. 🙌 We’re so grateful for your support.

    Nottingham Forest v Bournemouth Match Review 25/26

    Nottingham Forest’s season ends with a tense 1-1 draw against Bournemouth at the City Ground. Greg Oram and Richard Spray are joined by Andrew Cove and Ross Taylor for a full review of an afternoon that summed Forest up perfectly this season: quality in moments, nervous in others, and a City Ground crowd desperate to drag the team over the line. Morgan Gibbs-White delivered again. Forest had chances to win it. Bournemouth fought back. And the final whistle brought an emotional close to one of the most unpredictable campaigns the club has had in years. So where does this season really leave Forest? Progress? Underachievement? Transition? And what now for Vitor Pereira heading into a huge summer? A proper end-of-season reaction with analysis, debate, frustration, perspective — and a look at what comes next for Nottingham Forest. 🙌 We’re so grateful for your support.

    Nottingham Forest v Bournemouth Match Preview 25/26

    The final chapter of Nottingham Forest’s season arrives on Sunday afternoon at the City Ground — and there is still emotion, frustration, pride and unanswered questions wrapped into it. On today’s TALKING ReDS, Greg Oram and Richard Spray are joined by Scott Terry and Paul Lindsay to preview the final Premier League game of the campaign as Forest host Bournemouth under the lights of a 4pm final-day kick-off. The panel will reflect on Morgan Gibbs-White’s controversial omission from the latest England squad, what it says about the wider perception of Forest players nationally, and whether MGW now heads into the summer carrying a point to prove. There’ll also be a full tactical look ahead to Bournemouth, discussion around Vitor Pereira’s likely team selection, the atmosphere expected at the City Ground, and what this final afternoon could mean emotionally for supporters after another dramatic season. One last game. One last City Ground occasion. One final chance to sign off properly. 🙌 We’re so grateful for your support.

    Manchester United v Nottingham Forest Match Review 25/26

    Join Greg Oram, Richard Spray, Raf The Random Pundit and Bruce Johnstone as TALKING ReDS reacts to a chaotic afternoon at Old Trafford. Nottingham Forest pushed Manchester United all the way in a breathless 3-2 defeat, but the match will inevitably be remembered for the controversy surrounding United’s second goal — awarded after a lengthy VAR review despite what appeared to be a handball in the build-up from Bryan Mbeumo. Even Gary Neville labelled the decision “an absolute shocker” on commentary. Forest twice fought their way back into the contest through Morato and Morgan Gibbs-White, showed real attacking intent at times, and left Old Trafford furious with the officiating rather than embarrassed by the performance. The panel will break down the handball controversy, Vitor Pereira’s tactical setup, Forest’s defensive issues, MGW’s impact again, and whether the Reds deserved more from one of the league’s toughest away grounds. 🙌 We’re so grateful for your support.

    Nottingham Forest head to Old Trafford on Sunday with Premier League survival now within touching distance — but there is still plenty to play for. Greg Oram & Richard Spray are joined by NFFC Austrailia's Scott Terry for a full preview of Forest’s trip to Manchester United.

    UEL Heartbreak but still a mission to complete in the Premier League...

    Nottingham Forest’s European dream is over. After the highs of the run to the Europa League semi-finals, last night brought a harsh reality check as Aston Villa powered into the final with a dominant 4-0 victory under the lights. Missing key figures including Morgan Gibbs-White and Ibrahim Sangaré, Forest battled but ultimately could not live with the intensity, quality and atmosphere generated by a roaring Villa Park crowd of over 40,000. Today Greg and Richard are joined by and Rads for a full reaction to the defeat, the key moments that shaped the tie, the selection issues, the tactical battle, and what Forest can learn from a bruising night against one of the Premier League’s form sides. But there’s little time to dwell. Attention quickly turns back to the Premier League and Sunday’s huge clash against Newcastle United at the City Ground. Survival is almost within touching distance — but not yet mathematically secured. The mission is still alive, and Vítor Pereira’s side still have work to do. European heartbreak. Premier League pressure. One final push required. 🙌 We’re so grateful for your support.

    Forest Dismantle Chelsea! UEL Semi 2nd Leg v Aston Villa up Next!

    Nottingham Forest went to Stamford Bridge yesterday written off, rotated, and ridiculed… and walked away with a statement 3–1 win over Chelsea FC. Eight changes from Vitor Pereira — a selection that raised eyebrows across the game — but what followed was anything but cautious. It was bold, it was front-foot, and it was clinical. Taiwo Awoniyi led the line with authority, a brilliant brace that underpinned a performance full of energy, structure, and belief. This wasn’t a smash-and-grab — Forest were the better side, tactically sharp and emotionally committed. And with that result, the picture changes. Survival, which once felt uncertain, now looks all but secured. But there’s no time to linger. Because this week carries something bigger. A European semi-final second leg against Aston Villa awaits. Thursday night. High stakes. History within reach. So in today’s episode Grteg and Richard are with NFFC Australia's Scott Terry. We will give a full, forensic breakdown of that win at Stamford Bridge: the selection gamble, the tactical execution, and the individuals who stood tall. And then — all eyes on Villa: With lingering injuries to important players Forest, will perhaps need some of yesterday’s heroes again as they battle for a place in the Europa League final! 🙌 We’re so grateful for your support.
