Friday night. Elland Road. Same points. Proper pressure. Join Greg, Richard, Raf, The Random Pundit and Premier Elliot at 12pm as we preview Leeds United vs Nottingham Forest — a game that feels massive because it is massive. Both teams go into it level on 26 points, and with the table tightening, this one isn’t about “performances” — it’s about who holds their nerve. What we’ll cover: Why this fixture matters for both clubs right now (momentum, margins, mindset) Forest’s approach under Dyche — structure, game management, and where the goals have to come from Leeds at Elland Road on a Friday night — intensity, tempo, and what Forest must survive early Key battles: set-pieces, second balls, transitions, and the midfield fight Selection headaches and how suspensions/injuries could shape the plan Leeds come into this after a bruising 4–0 home defeat to Arsenal, while Forest are coming off a gritty 1–1 draw with Crystal Palace where they played a full second half with ten men — so there’s a real question of legs vs adrenaline on the night.

Forest went in front through Morgan Gibbs-White, but the game turned just before half-time when Neco Williams was sent off for a goal-line handball, bringing Palace level from the penalty spot. Reduced to ten men for the entire second half, Forest didn’t simply cling on — they stayed compact, carried a threat on the break, and looked capable of nicking it late. Greg Oram & Richard Spray are joined by Jamie Tatler to dig into how Forest adjusted after the red card, why Palace struggled to impose themselves and whether this point should be viewed as quietly encouraging.

Nottingham Forest put on a European masterclass as they swept aside Ferencvárosi TC with a stunning 4–0 win in the Europa League. In this episode, Greg, Richard, and Scott Terry break down a night where everything clicked — ruthless finishing, control in midfield, and a performance that felt like a genuine statement on the continental stage. We look at what this result says about Forest’s momentum in Europe, the players who defined the night, and why this felt like more than just another win. But the conversation doesn’t stop in Europe. The second half of the show turns attention back to domestic matters, as we preview the upcoming clash with Crystal Palace FC. What carries over from a big European night? Who keeps their place? And how does Forest balance confidence, fatigue, and focus as the season keeps moving at pace? There’s analysis, perspective, and a bit of fun throughout — because nights like this, and weeks like this, are exactly why supporting Nottingham Forest FC feels special again.

In this episode, Greg Oram and Richard Spray, along with Danscape and Raf, reflect on the road so far, the fine margins of Europe, and what this next step means — not just for the team, but for the supporters who’ve followed Forest everywhere.

Greg Oram and Richard Spray welcomed Paul Morley for this one. Forest are in season four since their return to the top flight and in that time have been able to beat every member of the so-called top six on numerous occasions, including the Gunners in that famous 1-0 victory that secured survival in season one. Since then, contests between these two huge clubs have generally favoured the Londoners and with this season unfolding with Forest in currently in 17th and Arsenal sitting top of the pile (and in outstanding form), is this a game where Forest just roll their sleeves up and have a bloody good go, or, with points desperately needed on Trent side, have Forest got a game plan and the gumption to nick a point – or even all three? It seems none of the fringe players have done enough to stake a claim to play and once again it’s the tried and tested first choice starters that Forest must rely on if they stand any chance of causing an upset… Learn more about your ad choices.

The Hollywood Ending belonged to Hollywood FC. The mighty Reds are out of all English cup competitions. Is that really an issue? Maybe a good thing?

It was a game that was definitely must-not-lose but more than that it really had to be must-win. And win they did. It wasn’t pretty – in fact at times it was darn ugly but Nottingham Forest bucked their trend and came back from a goal down to win by two goals to one at the London Stadium against Nuno’s West Ham… Over the next hour we’ll unpack the key talking points – and there were a few to say the least… and also reflect on what this could mean for the second half of the season for The Reds. A seven point gap to the drop zone means we breath a little easier but this is no time for complacency and turning the corner only really happens if they can build on this vital win courtesy of the fantastic Nicolas Dominguez and effervescent Morgan Gibbs-White… Greg Oram and Richard Spray welcome Raf, The Random Pundit for this one.

Today we’re previewing a huge game at the London Stadium as Nottingham Forest travel to London to face West Ham United — and it already feels like one of those matches neither side can afford to lose. Both teams are struggling for form, both managers are under real pressure, and both sets of supporters are asking the same question: where does the next win come from? Greg Oram is joined by Richard Spray. On the panel, its Danscape, and over the next hour we’ll cut through the noise, look at the key battles, the tactical calls, and what Forest have to get right if they’re going to stop the rot and pick up all three points. And just what would defeat mean for either manager? Is Dyche safe for now regardless of this result - and could this be the final nail in Nuno’s coffin if The Reds defeat their former gaffer?
