After a crucial win against West Ham can Forest back it up with a win in the FA Cup? ⚽Football Prizes⚽ MASSIVE GIVEAWAY!: https://footballprizes.co.uk/club-competitions/nottingham-forest/ Wolfie is back to preview a massive Friday night under the lights as Nottingham Forest travel to the Racecourse Ground to face Wrexham in the FA Cup Third Round! Coming off the back of that vital "ugly" win against West Ham, Sean Dyche faces a major selection headache. With a heavy festive period behind us and a relegation battle still looming in the Premier League, how much will the boss rotate? We’ll be looking at the expected line-up, which first-team stars are likely to get a well-earned rest, and whether the Reds have the squad depth to avoid an upset against a Wrexham side that will be well-up for the fight. One of the biggest talking points of the week is the situation surrounding Douglas Luiz. Reports suggest that his permanent transfer from Juventus is tied to a specific "games played" trigger clause—but does the FA Cup count toward that total? Wolfie dives into the contract management at the City Ground and asks whether we'll see the Brazilian maestro start, or if Dyche will protect the club’s finances by keeping him on the bench. It's a high-stakes game of contract chess that could dictate our summer transfer business before January is even over! Finally, we’re asking the big question: where does the FA Cup actually sit on Forest’s priority list? With a crucial relegation battle in the Prem and a historic Europa League campaign still to come later this month, do we really need a deep cup run, or is it just an unwanted distraction? Jump into the live chat and let us know your thoughts! Would you take a defeat on Friday if it guaranteed safety and European progression, or is the magic of the FA Cup still alive for the Forest faithful?

Tonight, Wolfie and the panel dive deep into a massive 2-1 victory for Nottingham Forest that has moved us a vital seven points clear of the relegation zone. While the points are gold dust, the performance was arguably one of the most "ugly" we've seen this season. From the VAR drama that saved us from going 2-0 down to Morgan Gibbs-White’s late penalty heroics, we’re asking the big question: did we actually show grit, or did we just get incredibly lucky against a West Ham side that looks completely broken under our old boss Nuno? The panel will be dissecting every angle of a dire game where both teams looked short on quality. Is Sean Dyche still the right man to lead this "work in progress," or are these individual moments of magic simply papering over the cracks in a failing system?

Wolfie dissects the vital win over West Ham in the Premier League relegation fight! 👕OKAY JERSEY👕Get your football shirts for only £15! - https://okayjersey.com/ Use Code "FFTV" For 8% OFF! What a massive three points! It wasn’t pretty, and for large parts of the game it felt like the same old story, but somehow Sean Dyche’s men have come away from the London Stadium with a 2-1 victory. After falling behind to a scrappy opener and surviving a VAR scare, the tide finally turned. Nicolás Domínguez found the equaliser before Morgan Gibbs-White stepped up in the 89th minute to coolly slot home a penalty after a moment of madness in the Hammers' box. We finally stop the rot of four straight defeats and move a vital seven points clear of the drop zone! Wolfie dissects a game where both teams looked low on quality, but Forest showed the grit to stay in the fight. We look at the return of Matz Sels, who made some crucial saves, and how we managed to grind out a result despite a real lack of creativity. This loss leaves our former boss Nuno Espírito Santo in absolute turmoil at West Ham, with the Hammers now deep in the relegation mire. Is this the result that finally gets Nuno the sack, or did we just get lucky against a side that is in even worse shape than we were? We want to hear your thoughts on a night of pure drama! Was that penalty a gift, or did we deserve a bit of luck after the run we've been on? How impressed were you with the character shown to come from behind away from home, and do you think a seven-point gap is enough to finally breathe easy? The "smash and grab" at the London Stadium has completely changed the mood heading into January, but there are still plenty of questions for Dyche to answer.

Can Forest bounce back from a poor performance against Everton and beat Aston Villa? 👕OKAY JERSEY👕Get your football shirts for only £15! - https://okayjersey.com/ Use Code "FFTV" For 8% OFF! The stakes couldn't be higher this Tuesday night as Nottingham Forest travel to the London Stadium for a massive relegation "six-pointer" against West Ham. Both sides are desperate for a result; the Hammers sit 18th in the table following an "embarrassing" 3-0 defeat to Wolves, while Forest have slumped to four consecutive losses after the disappointment at Villa Park. The sub-plot is unavoidable: former Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo is under immense pressure in the West Ham dugout. Wolfie is in the hot seat to dissect the tactical battle and the expected lineup for this crucial clash. With John Victor sidelined following his injury and error at Villa, it looks like a certain return for Matz Sels between the sticks, while the club is sweating on the fitness of Callum Hudson-Odoi after he missed the weekend’s action. We need a massive performance from the likes of Morgan Gibbs-White and Murillo to shore up a defense that has been leaking goals. Wolfie looks at whether Dyche will stick to his pragmatic roots or if it’s time to unleash a more attacking setup against a West Ham defence that has conceded the most goals in the Premier League this season. We want to hear from you in the comments—how confident are you heading into this one? Is this the perfect time to play a demoralized West Ham, or are you worried that Nuno will find a way to haunt his old club? A win would put us seven points clear of the drop zone and give us some much-needed breathing room before we face Arsenal. However, another defeat would leave us looking over our shoulders with genuine fear. Get involved in the chat, give us your score predictions, and let us know if you think we’ll be the ones to finally send Nuno packing! #nffc #westham #nottinghamforest Learn more about your ad choices.

👕OKAY JERSEY👕Get your football shirts for only £15! - https://okayjersey.com/ Use Code "FFTV" For 8% OFF! The "Villa Park Hoodoo" continues as Nottingham Forest slump to a fourth consecutive Premier League defeat, leaving us looking over our shoulders at the relegation zone. Despite a gritty first-half performance and a brilliant Morgan Gibbs-White goal that gave us hope, individual errors—highlighted by John Victor’s moment of madness against John McGinn—have once again cost us dearly. The "Grumpy Old Reds" panel is live to dissect exactly where it went wrong in Birmingham and why a season that promised so much has spiraled into a fight for survival. Is this on Sean Dyche for failing to stop the rot, or are we seeing the consequences of the "main character energy" and constant managerial merry-go-round from Evangelos Marinakis and the hierarchy? We’re looking at the bigger picture tonight: how does a club go from the highs of Europe to four straight defeats in the space of a month? We’ll be debating the impact of Edu’s recruitment, the bizarre decision-making at the top, and whether the players have the "fight" left in them to turn this around before the trip to West Ham. This is a massive six-pointer coming up, and we need to find answers fast. Jump in the live chat, share your frustrations, and tell us who you hold responsible for this collapse.

Wolfie dissects yet another defeat, this time at the hands of Aston Villa! ⚽Football Prizes⚽ Win Free Forest Shirt!: https://footballprizes.co.uk/club-competitions/nottingham-forest/ The wait for a win at Villa Park continues as Nottingham Forest fall to a 3-1 defeat, extending our winless run in the West Midlands to over three decades. It was a game defined by moments of madness and missed opportunities; despite a stubborn first-half defensive display, a wonder strike from Ollie Watkins on the stroke of halftime completely deflated the Reds. While Morgan Gibbs-White gave us a glimmer of hope with a cool finish to make it 2-1, a "clown show" moment from John Victor—who rushed off his line only to get rounded by John McGinn—ended the contest and left our keeper heading off with an injury. But as the dust settles on another defeat, we have to look at the bigger picture. Are we witnessing a squad that has simply lost its identity under the constant cycle of managerial changes and heavy summer spending? Wolfie asks the tough questions about where the blame truly lies: is this on Evangelos Marinakis for his "main character" approach to ownership and the sacking of Nuno? Is Edu struggling to find the right balance in recruitment, or are the players simply not showing the "fight" required for a Premier League survival scrap? We’ve seen flashes of quality, but sitting in 17th with the relegation zone looming, the "project" is starting to look like a nightmare. How are you feeling after that one, Forest fans? Is it time to stop blaming the managers and start looking at the hierarchy, or do you still trust Sean Dyche to "stabilize the ship" before it's too late? With a massive six-pointer against West Ham coming up next, we cannot afford many more of these defensive collapses.

👕OKAY JERSEY👕Get your football shirts for only £15! - https://okayjersey.com/ Use Code "FFTV" For 8% OFF! The Grumpy Old Reds are back and the mood is reaching boiling point after a truly dismal performance at the City Ground. Join Wolfie and the panel as they dissect a gutless 0-2 defeat to an injury-ravaged Everton side that was there for the taking. Just days after the highs of the Man City display, Forest looked completely devoid of ideas, falling into a tactical trap set by David Moyes. We’re asking the tough questions: how can a professional side produce such a lifeless performance in a game of this magnitude? The spotlight is firmly on Sean Dyche tonight as his tactical "naivety" comes under fire. In a baffling display of "Plan A or nothing," Forest pumped a staggering 52 crosses into the box—directly into the hands of an Everton defense that thrives on defending high balls. With no Chris Wood to target, why did we persist with a system that played right into the Toffees' hands? The panel debates whether Dyche was outsmarted by his former club and if his refusal to adapt the game plan is now becoming a fatal flaw for this squad. This result is a massive reality check that has dragged us right back into the thick of the relegation scrap. With the gap to the bottom three narrowing and the performance levels dropping off a cliff, we have to ask: are Forest genuinely in danger of the drop? We want to hear from you in the live chat—was this just a bad day at the office, or is it time to worry about our Premier League survival?

Wolfie dissects terrible home defeat to Everton in our last game of the year! ⚽Football Prizes⚽ Win Free Forest Shirt!: https://footballprizes.co.uk/club-competitions/nottingham-forest/ The final game of 2025 has ended in absolute misery at the City Ground. After showing so much heart against Manchester City just days ago, Nottingham Forest served up a gutless performance in a 0-2 defeat to a threadbare Everton side. Wolfie gives his immediate post-match thoughts on how the Reds managed to look so toothless against an opponent missing half their starting XI. To go from pushing the champions to the limit to being comfortably brushed aside by James Garner and Thierno Barry is a massive wake-up call, leaving us just four points above the relegation zone as we head into a brutal January schedule. The tactical approach from Sean Dyche is under heavy fire tonight, specifically the bizarre reliance on "route one" football that saw Forest pump 52 crosses into the box with almost zero reward. Wolfie dissects the naivety of the game plan and the strange substitutions that seemed to sap the life out of the team rather than sparking a comeback. This result is a bitter pill to swallow for the Forest faithful, especially given the "unchanged" feel from the Man City high. We want to hear from you in the comments: what was the turning point tonight? Was it the lack of a "Plan B," or are the injuries to key men like Yates and Wood finally catching up with us?

Can Forest move away from the relegation zone and get a win against Dyche's old team? Check out FFTV Merch! Click Here: https://forestfantv.com/ It is a massive midweek clash at the City Ground as Nottingham Forest welcome Everton for a high-stakes Premier League encounter. After a heartbreaking and controversial 1-2 defeat to Manchester City, the big question is: can the Reds channel that frustration into a winning performance? Despite the loss, the display against the champions was arguably our best under Sean Dyche, and a repeat of that grit and quality is exactly what’s needed to secure three points and pull us further away from the relegation zone. Sitting in 17th, this is a "six-pointer" that could define our momentum heading into the New Year. Wolfie is in the hot seat to dissect the potential starting XI and the latest team news coming out of the Forest camp. With Ibrahim Sangaré away at AFCON and Ryan Yates a major doubt, will we see an unchanged midfield from the City game, or is it finally time for Bakwa to get his chance from the start? We also look at the fitness of Chris Wood and whether Dyche will stick with Igor Jesus to lead the line after his tireless work rate last time out. Getting the lineup right is crucial, especially against an Everton side that looks solid under David Moyes and already beat us 3-0 just a few weeks ago at their new stadium. This match carries extra weight for the gaffer, as Sean Dyche faces his former club once again. After the miserable 3-0 defeat on Merseyside in early December, there is a huge element of "revenge" in the air at the City Ground. We need the fans to be the 12th man and ensure the atmosphere is hostile from the first whistle to the last.

The Grumpy Old Reds are LIVE to pick apart the pieces after a heartbreaking 1-2 defeat to Manchester City at the City Ground. Join Wolfie and the full panel as they vent their fury over the officiating that completely overshadowed a brilliant Forest performance. The headline of the night is undoubtedly Rayan Cherki’s 83rd-minute winner—did VAR ignore a clear foul on Morgan Gibbs-White in the build-up? We’ll be dissecting the performance of referee Rob Jones, who seemed to let the "Big 6" giants off the hook, specifically regarding Ruben Dias’ lucky escape from a second yellow card. It’s an unfiltered deep dive into why Forest once again feel like they are playing against twelve men. Despite the result, there is plenty to be proud of, and the panel asks the big question: are we seeing the signs of a team that can truly compete with the best? From Omari Hutchinson’s clinical equaliser to the tireless work rate of Igor Jesus against Gvardiol and Dias, there were massive positives to take into the busy January schedule.

Wolfie dissects the defeat to Man City and were Forest Robbed of a point by the Referee? To Buy Wolfie A Coffee! Click Here: https://buymeacoffee.com/forestfantv The City Ground was rocking, and for large spells of this game, it felt like Nottingham Forest were about to pull off something special. Wolfie is back to react to a heart breaking 1-2 defeat at the hands of Manchester City—a result that absolutely does not tell the full story. Despite City taking the points, the Reds put in a performance of immense grit and quality, arguably outplaying the former champions and leaving Pep Guardiola’s side looking completely rattled until the final stages. Omari Hutchinson’s equaliser brought the roof off, and for most of that second half, it looked like Forest were the only team going to win it. However, the mood turned from pride to pure fury in the 83rd minute as Rayan Cherki’s winning goal was allowed to stand. Wolfie dissects the controversial lead-up to that strike, where Morgan Gibbs-White appeared to be quite clearly shoved to the ground, preventing him from blocking the shot. We’re also looking at how Ruben Dias managed to stay on the pitch after a blatant second-yellow challenge on Igor Jesus. This brings us to the big question that every Forest fan is asking tonight: is there a genuine "Big 6" bias when it comes to refereeing decisions? When the margins are this thin, how can such an obvious foul be ignored by the officials and VAR?

Can Forest get a shock result against title chasing Manchester City? To Buy Wolfie A Coffee! Click Here: https://buymeacoffee.com/forestfantv The former champions are coming to the City Ground! Wolfie is back to preview a massive Premier League clash as Nottingham Forest prepare to host Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. After some inconsistent form, the big question is: can Sean Dyche master-plan a classic underdog upset? We’ll be looking at whether Forest can dig deep and frustrate a City side desperate to climb back to the top, while potentially handing Arsenal or Liverpool a massive advantage in this year's intense title race. It’s a daunting task, but under the lights on the banks of the Trent, anything is possible. Wolfie gets into the tactical nitty-gritty for this one, asking if there is any genuine hope of stopping the City machine. We take a detailed look at the predicted starting XI and debate the big selection headaches facing Dyche. Should we see Dilane Bakwa given the nod to use his pace on the counter, or is this a game where we need to tighten up and go with five at the back? Finding the balance between defensive stability and an attacking threat will be the key to keeping the game alive against Pep's tactical setup. We want to hear from you ahead of kick-off—how are you feeling about this one? Do you think the 5-4-1 system is the only way to survive, or should we be brave and take the game to them?

Wolfie takes a look at the latest rumours as the January transfer window gets close! For Exclusive Content Join FFTV Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ForestFanTV With the January transfer window just around the corner, the Forest rumour mill is shifting into overdrive! Sean Dyche is preparing for his first winter market at the City Ground, and the headlines are being dominated by a potential reunion with Everton’s Dwight McNeil. Wolfie breaks down the latest reports suggesting Dyche wants to offer his former Burnley and Everton winger a fresh start in Garibaldi red. Is McNeil the clinical, hardworking wide man we need to bolster our attack, or should we be looking elsewhere for that creative spark? It’s not just about the "ins," as we also look at the potential outgoings that could shake up the squad. Rumours are circulating that Taiwo Awoniyi could be heading for the exit door as the club looks to balance the books and reshape the front line. We discuss whether letting Taiwo go would be a massive mistake or if it's the right time to move on and reinvest in a different profile of striker. With Brighton's Jack Hinshelwood also reportedly on Dyche's radar, there's plenty of movement to discuss as we head into the new year. We want to hear your thoughts on today’s transfer news—would you welcome Dwight McNeil at the City Ground, and how would you feel about seeing Awoniyi move on?

Wolfie and the panel dive deep into a performance that left many Forest fans fuming, questioning why there seemed to be absolutely no fight or urgency from the players at Craven Cottage. Was it a tactical failure, or is there a deeper issue with the squad's mentality as we head into a pivotal part of the season? We’re pulling no punches as we dissect every frustrating minute of a match that felt like a massive step backward after the highs of the Spurs win.

Wolfie dissects the embarrassing performance against Fulham last night! ⚽Football Prizes⚽ Win Free Forest Shirt!: https://footballprizes.co.uk/club-competitions/nottingham-forest/ It was an afternoon to forget at Craven Cottage as Nottingham Forest slumped to a 1-0 defeat against Fulham. Wolfie is back to dissect what can only be described as a dismal performance from the Reds, where the optimism from recent weeks seemed to evaporate in the London air. We break down the key moments—or lack thereof—and look at where it all went wrong on the pitch as Forest struggled to create anything of note or put the hosts under any real sustained pressure. The post-match inquest starts with the recruitment, as we ask the difficult question: have any of the new signings actually had a real impact? We take a look at the individual performances and try to understand why Forest appeared to be lacking any real fight or urgency against a Fulham side that didn't have to be at their best to take the points. Is there a deeper issue with the squad's mentality, or was this just a collective "off day" at a ground that continues to be a massive hoodoo for the club? As we look at the table, the big concern for many fans is whether this season is now simply dwindling out to nothingness. With safety all but assured but the top half looking further away, where do we go from here?
