Forest Focus

Matt Davies is joined by Nottingham Forest and author David Marples to discuss his new book The History Boys Part Two and it's focus on the last five years under the ownership of Evangelos Marinakis as the club ascended to the Premier League. We also look back on the 2025/26 season as well as ponder how the club might look in 10 years' time. #nffc #nottinghamforest

Nottingham Forest have already turned their attention to next season after the curtain came down the 2025/26 Premier League campaign with a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth.

Matt Davies is joined by Greg Mitchell, Michael Temple and former Reds midfielder Lewis McGugan to reflect on the last 10 months and look ahead to the summer as Forest look to keep key men Morgan Gibbs-White and Neco Williams after Murillo signed a new contract. They will also hope to keep Elliot Anderson but that could prove impossible given the interest in the England international. #nffc #nottinghamforest

It finished 1-1 in the final game of the season for Nottingham Forest as they welcomed Bournemouth to the City Ground. The game could be the final appearance in a Forest shirt for some with Manchester City pushing to sign Elliot Anderson, while Morgan Gibbs-White reminded Thomas Tuchel what he can do after his England snub with the Forest goal. Fans also made their opinion of Tuchel with their chants.

Matt Davies is joined by Adam Walker and Dillon Mapletoft. #nffc #nottinghamforest
