July 19, 2025 MORGAN GIBBS-WHITE SAYS GOODBYE TO NOTTINGHAM FOREST FANS? | TAIWO AWONIYI RETURNS
Nottingham Forest drew 0-0 with Monaco in a pre-season friendly in Chesterfield on Saturday. A dull game even by friendlies standards was notable though as Morgan Gibbs-White started despite the prospect of a controversial transfer to Tottenham Hotspur as he puts the Spurs talk to one side for now. Was he saying goodbye to fans when he left the pitch as fans chanted his name? The match also saw Taiwo Awoniyi return in what must go down as a real surprise so soon after major surgery.
Matt Davies is joined by Dan Cook and Dillon Mapletoft from 7pm to reflect on the game and on the latest transfer news involving Jadon Sancho and Dan Ndoye. #nffc #nottinghamforest

July 18, 2025 DAN NDOYE TO NOTTINGHAM FOREST? | ADAM SUMMERTON SCOUTING REPORT
Nottingham Forest have been strongly linked with a move for Bologna forward Dan Ndoye with multiple sources in Italy, as well as transfers journalist Florian Plettenberg, saying he is willing to sign a five-year contract with the Reds, although Italian champions Napoli are waiting in the wings.
We spoke with TNT Sports' Serie A commentator Adam Summerton to once again give his verdict on a player linked with Forest. He is certainly excited by the prospects of the Swiss international coming to the Premier League. We also briefly touch on Danilo's departure to Botafogo. #nffc #nottinghamforest

July 15, 2025 PICKING THE ULTIMATE NOTTINGHAM FOREST PREMIER LEAGUE XI
We pit Nottingham Forest's two best Premier League teams against each other in a bid to pick the ultimate Reds XI. The 1994/95 team which finished third goes up against the 2024/25 team which so nearly made the Champions League. Will it be Mark Crossley or Matz Sels? Lars Bohinen or Elliot Anderson? Or will our panel use their wildcard to pick one player from any season Forest were in the Premier League? Matt Davies is joined by Simon Fotheringham and Daniel Storey to pick their teams. #nffc #nottinghamforest

July 14, 2025 CAN EDU SAVE NOTTINGHAM FOREST'S SUMMER?
Matt Davies sits down with our Arsenal fan regular Tom Marshall-Bailey to discuss Edu's time as sporting director. We discuss their signings (good and bad) in that four year stint, as well as his failure to sign a number nine and how his negotiating style differs massively from Nottingham Forest's. Can he help his new club make much needed signings as global head of football with Forest set to lose Anthony Elanga and Morgan Gibbs-White. #nffc
In the second part of the show, Matt speaks with Forest fan Tim Desmond who runs the National Football Museum. #nottinghamforest
