January 13 Taremi 'top target' and Tavernier interest | What does Dyche need to do?
Matt Davies is joined by Matt Davies-Adams, Paul Morley and Pete Blackburn as we answer Nottingham Forest questions from podcast listeners with topics on the agenda including Sean Dyche's future (lots on that), alternative managers, strikers to sign and our best and worst Forest seasons.
We also touch on the latest transfer news as The Athletic says Olympiacos' Mehdi Taremi is the striker we are most keen and likely to sign from their reported four man shortlist, while David Ornstein also says we are interested in Bournemouth's Marcus Tavernier. #nffc #nottinghamforest

January 12 Nottingham Forest face massive decisions over Sean Dyche and summer signings
Nottingham Forest fans appear to be becoming increasingly divided over the future of manager Sean Dyche after a run of one win in five Premier League games and elimination from the FA Cup. The anger comes from not just results but also performances and the style of play.
What should fans expect from Dyche given the terrible scenario he inherited with Forest in the relegation after the Ange Postecoglou disaster? Could he be sacked before the end of the season? Would that be a mad gamble? Will conversations over his future take place at the end of the season? Or should he get a pre-season regardless if he keeps Forest up? We'll discuss that, as well as his interview after the Wrexham game when he sharply criticised players who came into the team.
Then there are question marks over the long term futures of the likes of James McAtee and Douglas Luiz if Forest secure their short term goal of staying up.
Matt Davies is joined by Michael Temple and Reds legend Garry Birtles to reflect on the Wrexham game and look ahead to the return of Ibrahim Sangare. #nffc #nottinghamforest

January 09 Wrexham vs Nottingham Forest post match verdict | Shambles from stand-ins
Nottingham Forest were beaten on penalties by Championship side Wrexham in the FA Cup third round on Friday. It might not have been a shock result given Wrexham are pushing for a fourth straight promotion under the Hollywood ownership of Ryan Reynolds, however, the manner of the first half performance left a bitter taste as players who came into the side flopped. Manager Sean Dyche called them out on TV afterwards as we discuss that move and the game in full.
Matt Davies is joined by Michael Temple and Will Tomlinson (WT Analysis) for this one. #nffc #nottinghamforest

January 08 Kalimuendo out, who in? | Wrexham vs Nottingham Forest preview
Arnauld Kalimuendo has officially left Nottingham Forest to join Eintracht Frankfurt on loan with the German club having an option to sign him on a permanent deal at the end of the season. With Chris Wood injured, Taiwo Awoniyi looking a shadow of the player he was and Igor Jesus struggling for goals, Forest are in desperate need of a striker.
Matt Davies is joined by Dan Cook and the i paper's chief football writer Daniel Storey to discuss that situation and some possible options to bring in with Wolves' Jorgen Strand Larsen at the top of the list in the media. Callum Wilson also looks set to leave West Ham and become a free agent.
We also preview the FA Cup third round tie at Wrexham as Forest look to avoid an early upset exit. #nffc #nottinghamforest

January 07 Win at West Ham the spark for Nottingham Forest or a false dawn?
Nottingham Forest were 2-1 winners against West Ham United in a massive game at the bottom of the Premier League. It was a huge win for Forest but far from a polished performance as a series of big moments went their way at the London Stadium.
We'll review the key moments and ask if this win can spark Forest into form or if it was a false dawn for the team and Sean Dyche. Matt Davies is joined by Pete Blackburn and former Reds defender Kelvin Wilson. #nffc #nottinghamforest

January 06 West Ham 1 Nottingham Forest 2 match verdict | Unbearable tension but a win!
Nottingham Forest beat West Ham United 2-1 in the Premier League thanks to Morgan Gibbs-White's late penalty. A massive win for Forest takes them seven points clear of West Ham in the table and eases pressure on both Forest and manager Sean Dyche with the Reds going into the game after losing four in a row. Forest rode their luck though, but the win was all that matters on the night.
Matt Davies is joined by Chris Aylmer and Emily Williamson. #nffc #nottinghamforest

January 05 West Ham vs Nottingham Forest opposition verdict | Nuno's last stand?
Matt Davies is joined by the Mail on Sunday's James Sharpe as we look at the mess West Ham United are in ahead of facing Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Tuesday night.
It's a massive game for both teams as victory for Forest would take them seven points clear of the Hammers. We discuss how West Ham got in this state, if former Reds boss Nuno is to blame, if he is a game from the sack, West Ham team news and the best way to beat them. #nffc #nottinghamforest

January 05 West Ham v Nottingham Forest match preview | Time to attack!
Nottingham Forest face on their biggest games since their return to the Premier League as they go to West Ham United on Tuesday night. A win would see Forest go seven points clear of Nuno's beleaguered side with a superior goal difference. However, defeat would leave the gap at one point and put Sean Dyche in the spotlight with Forest having lost their last four games.
Matt Davies is joined by Mikey Clarke, Pete Blackburn and former Reds defender James Perch to preview the game in full and reflect on Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa. #nffc #nottinghamforest
