November 06, 2025 Sturm Graz 0 Nottingham Forest 0 | Unfit players blow their chance?
Matt Davies is joined by Mark Sutherns, Michael Temple and former Nottingham Forest B team captain Sam Collins after the Reds drew 0-0 with Sturm Graz in the Europa League. It was far from the night Forest wanted as Morgan Gibbs-White missed a first half penalty and Forest ended the game with four central defenders on the pitch and Nicolo Savona on the right wing after James McAtee and Arnauld Kalimuendo went off with cramp. It wasn't a good night either for John Victor as he got a chance in goal.
We'll be live from 8.15pm to discuss the game in full as Forest look for their second win in the competition after beating Porto in their previous game. #nffc #nottinghamforest
