Nottingham Forest 0-0 Birmingham City: The 1865 Forest Ramble Podcast 1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast

The 1865 Forest Ramble is part of the Fan Hub Network - where fans come first.

Forest have been known to serve up their fair share of Boxing Day drama down the years. This year, however, was a different tale. 

The Reds saw a familiar face return to The City Ground in the form of ex-gaffer Aitor Karanka, now in charge of Birmingham City and the Spaniard saw his side head back across the Midlands with a clean sheet and a share of the spoils. The game wasn't a classic, with neither team looking likely to win it. Despite that, Forest did have some chances, most notably Ryan Yates and Tobias Figueiredo, who saw their efforts saved by Neil Etheridge.

26 years after a similarly uneventful Boxing Day stalemate, Rich Ferraro reflects as Forest were left to rue missed opportunities, after failing to put away a Blues team who were content with a point. Chris Hughton made some positive substitutions in the second half and he will have seen small signs of progress to build on as the New Year approaches.
