This was another chance missed against a team who have not been known for keeping clean sheets. The conditions made good football difficult, and many will point to the cruel nature of the game, as Joe Worrall’s goal was correctly ruled out due to a freak gust of wind moving the ball before Joe Lolley took the corner.

The match itself, and the post-match debate, was dominated by referee Keith Stroud; West Brom fans felt annoyed at the last gasp goal correctly disallowed for offside, and Forest supporters were raging at everything else that he did.

After the euphoria of Saturday’s six-pointer, we surely could have seen this coming. It was a horrible night for football, with a snow shower just before kick-off and a swirling, freezing cold wind throughout, and while we expected some players to be rested, five changes meant that the team lacked any kind of coherence.

The City Ground was rocking on Saturday evening as Forest outplayed Leeds United. Some tactical masterstrokes from Sabri Lamouchi kept the visiting defenders on their toes, and determination and desire from Joe Lolley set up Tyler Walker for a dream finish.

January was mostly a good month for Nottingham Forest, before the six-match unbeaten run was brought to an abrupt halt at Birmingham City. Rich Ferraro, Steven Toplis and the Maradona of the Midlands discuss victories, draws and defeats, Angry Sabri, and the Reds’ business in the transfer window.

Thanks for listening to the Forest Ramble; it is a pleasure to bring you match reports and intelligent discussion about all things Nottingham Forest. We have always brought you our content for free. Zip. Zilch. Nothing. But this podcast does cost us time and money. If you want to give something back, then we have an offer for you!

After a City Ground double-header which yielded four points out of six, we report on the victory against Luton Town and lightning striking twice versus Reading. Reds fans understandably felt down after missing the chance to make ground on Leeds and West Brom, and Sabri Lamouchi decided to hold a pep talk for players and fans after Wednesday’s final whistle.

Forest were outplayed but not disgraced at Stamford Bridge. An early Chelsea goal taught the Reds a lesson that they didn’t really learn from, but much of the talk surrounded the penalty that wasn’t. The main highlight for Reds fans was obviously the performance of Alex Mighten on his full debut, and in some ways Sabri Lamouchi will have been the happier manager.

With a little break from the league, and the start of the January transfer window, the podcast takes a few minutes to discuss the imperious presence of Samba Sow; Sabri Lamouchi’s tactical adjustments following a very sticky patch in December; and areas that need strengthening in the transfer window.

Two goals from Lewis Grabban (including another pelanty - what is happening?) saw Forest claim three points, and their third win in a row. Baz reports on a good victory featuring great work from Lolley, Grabban and Ameobi, despite Blackburn catching us on the break.
