Nottingham Forest 2-3 Brighton: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
November 27, 2023 06:00 - 41 minutesForest suffered a rare home defeat, but in reality Brighton were the better team. Had it not been for a penalty and an, ahem, interesting red card for visiting skipper Lewis Dunk, the Reds would probably have been dead and buried. As it is, they will rue missed chances, with both Morgan Gibbs-White and Ryan Yates wishing they had done better. Steven and Baz discuss the game, the team selection and the refereeing performance which dominated the post-match discussion; it's fair to say that both...
Ambulance chasers: The 1865 Nottingham Forest Podcast, November 2023
November 20, 2023 06:00 - 56 minutesNovember's Forest Ramble discussion is here! This month, Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz, Tom and Steven to cover: Everton receive a points deduction; what does this mean for the Premier League? Steve Cooper’s game plan - is the Reds’ success contingent upon listening to the gaffer? What will success look like for Forest this season? As usual, we will also hear the opinions of you, the listeners, we’ll have our monthly quiz and Jeremy Davies will be along with his latest Sketch. We will al...
West Ham 3-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
November 13, 2023 06:00 - 44 minutesWest Ham topped and tailed this game with soft goals which gave the hosts all three points. Inbetween, Taiwo Awoniyi and Antony Elanga had equalised, then put the Reds in front, before individual mistakes put the Hammers in control and left Steve Cooper desperately frustrated. Rich is joined by George who is fresh back from the London Stadium, to discuss the match, the atmosphere and game management. We also hear from Will of We Are West Ham with the opposition view, and the thoughts of you, ...
Nottingham Forest 2-0 Aston Villa: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
November 07, 2023 08:02 - 35 minutesIt was back to winning ways for Steve Cooper's Reds as goals from Ola Aina and Orel Mangala led to a welcome three points after what felt like a long time without a victory. The Head Coach and his players got most things right on the day, and although Villa probably weren't at their best, a combination of team and fans kept them at bay. Steven Toplis and Ellie Molloson discuss the game, the early goals and the return of a feelgood factor. We also hear from Neil from For The Love Of Paul McGra...
Liverpool 3-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
October 31, 2023 06:00 - 39 minutesThe sporting weekend was overshadowed by the sudden and tragic death of Panthers forward Adam Johnson, and all of us here at 1865 send our condolences to Adam's nearest and dearest. On the pitch, Forest were very much second best and were never in danger of getting their first win at Anfield since 1969. It started badly when Steve Cooper confirmed that Chris Wood would be injured for a few weeks, just as he was coming into form, and Forest had no recognised attackers. Two goals in four minute...
Nottingham Forest 2-2 Luton Town: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
October 23, 2023 06:00 - 59 minutesIt was a disppointing outcome following a promising performance. The headlines will show that Chris Wood scored two goals before two late efforts from Luton saw them take a share of the spoils. However, Forest had enough chances to put the match to bed before then, and the fans will feel that a combination of individual mistakes and poor substitutions cost them the win. Steven is joined by Adam to discuss the match, with emotions running high as it feels like a while since the Reds have had a...
Style and senses: The 1865 Nottingham Forest Podcast, October 2023
October 16, 2023 06:00 - 1 hourIt's another episode of 1865, in which Rich is joined by Adam, George and Tom to review progress on and off the pitch since the last international break. On the agenda: Forest's league position and evolution of the playing style New players and a new look squad What we can expect from the next few games All this and more, plus we have a news roundup from Callum Castel, we hear your opinions, play a game of Guess That Red and Jeremy Davies pops up with his latest Sketch.

Crystal Palace 0-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
October 09, 2023 07:00 - 23 minutesIt ended up honours even in a game that was last on Match of the Day, but Forest will be a bit disappointed not to have taken all three points after creating the better chances. Harry Toffolo had an effort from distance, before Morgan Gibbs-White hit the post, and Murillo almost scored a memorable goal with a mazy dribble and shot that was saved by the keeper. In the second half, Gonzalo Montiel was unlucky with two scissor kicks, but on the other hand, Jean-Philippe Mateta should really have...
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Brentford: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
October 03, 2023 17:48 - 40 minutesThe headlines will show that ten man Forest came back to rescue a point, but really the Reds were the better team in the first thirty minutes and should have capitalised. As it was, after Moussa Niakhate's red card, the Bees took the lead with a soft goal - both the Forest defence and Matt Turner should have done better. Luckily, Brentford keeper Flekken had his own moment just a few minutes later, as Nico Dominguez diverted Harry Toffolo's cross to equalise. Baz and Tom Newton discuss the ga...
Manchester City 2-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
September 25, 2023 05:00 - 42 minutesAfter ten minutes it looked like this was going the way of last season's match at the Etihad; in fact when Forest conceded the first goal they hadn't even managed to string two passes together and barely had 10% possession. However, they did manage to regroup a bit to keep the score down, and the second half was a different proposition after Rodri's red card. Steve Cooper had mixed feelings, knowing that the Reds had given the Champions a two goal start, but despite the improved second half s...
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Burnley: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
September 20, 2023 12:43 - 35 minutesA disappointing result at the City Ground, as an attacking looking Reds line-up failed to capitalise, before Burnley took the lead through some neat play down the left presented Zeki Amdouni with his second goal against Forest in just a few weeks. Fortunately, some excellent hold-up play from Taiwo Awoniyi gave the ball to Callum Hudson-Odoi on the corner of the box, and the debutant curled a beauty into the top corner to make it honours even. Following a night with a red card, disallowed goa...
Due diligence: The 1865 Nottingham Forest Podcast, September 2023
September 12, 2023 09:35 - 1 hourOur Forest Ramble discussion for September is here! In this episode: Forest’s transfer window Goodbye to Nick Randall and John Taylor, hello to Tom Cartledge The Reds have a new front of shirt sponsor We will also discuss the potential situation about Forest’s World Cup winner Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz, Steven, the Maradona of the Midlands, as well as Adam and Emilka. All this and more, plus a game of Guess That Red and the return of Jeremy Davies with the 1865 Sketch. Subscribe to ...
Chelsea 0-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
September 04, 2023 18:08 - 39 minutesA fabulous result for Steve Cooper's Reds, as substitute Antony Elanga calmly slotted home on the break after good work by Mangala, Yates and Awoniyi to win the ball and set the winger free. Forest didn't have much possession, but in truth Matt Turner didn't have that much to do, although the Reds will be grateful for Nicholas Jackson's glaring miss. Steven and Tom report on the Reds' first away victory of the season, which can be summed up by Mauricio Pochettino's (paraphrased) statement tha...
Nottingham Forest 0-1 Burnley: The 1865 Carabao Cup Match Report
August 31, 2023 11:19 - 39 minutesThe Reds made an early exit from the Carabao Cup with a home defeat to Vincent Kompany's Burnley. It wasn't a match to remember, and Zeki Amdouni's 90th minute winner was the first shot on target. Ouch. George Edwards is in the podcast hotseat for the first time, and is joined by Adam to review the game, and they discuss the game, the shortcomings of the team and the tactics on the night, with a nod to forthcoming games and the forthcoming transfer deadline. Subscribe to 1865 via your podcast...
Manchester United 3-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
August 28, 2023 16:37 - 42 minutesIt all started so well as very early goals from Taiwo Awoniyi (breaking the record for scoring in consecutive Premier League matches) and Willy Boly fired the Reds into a two-goal lead, but then the home team woke up, with the assistance of one or two refereeing moments; Steve Cooper merely commented how quick the official was to blow the whistle, rather than taking his time. Steven and Tom discuss the action, the tactics and what it takes for an away team to get a victory at Old Trafford. We...
Nottingham Forest 2-1 Sheffield United: The 1865 Premier League Podcast
August 19, 2023 15:41 - 52 minutesThe Reds got their first win of the season with a fine late header from Chris Wood. It had looked like Forest were the architects of their own downfall, after taking an early lead through Taiwo Awoniyi's header, they looked good, until they ... well, didn't. The visitors were hoping Gustavo Hamer's equaliser after the break would earn a point, but Stevie Cooper's subs made a difference. Maradona of the Midlands is joined by Baz and Adam to discuss the action, the tactics and the City Ground a...
Arsenal 2-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
August 14, 2023 08:54 - 56 minutesIt was an opening day defeat at The Emirates, although a late rally from the Reds gave the home team a bit of a scare, when an electric break from Awoniyi and Elanga led to the big number 9 netting his first goal of the season. There's still work to do, as discussed by Steven Toplis, with George Edwards and Ellie Molloson, fresh back from north London. We also hear from Arsenal fan Chris, with his views on the game and what he thinks about Forest. We'll be back with a report after Friday's ho...

July 29, 2023 08:56 - 45 minutesWe are pleased to bring you (after a short delay) part 2 of our interview with ex-Reds striker Grant Holt, reflecting on his time at the City Ground, departure from Forest, and subsequent rise from League One to the top flight with Norwich City.

Trevor Francis and Chris Bart-Williams: an 1865 tribute
July 25, 2023 21:01 - 35 minutesThis is a podcast that we didn't want to record as we come to terms with the deaths of Forest legends Trevor Francis and Chris Bart-Williams. In this episode we look back on their Forest careers and share some memories. Monday 24th July 2023 was a desperately sad day for supporters of Nottingham Forest, as well as Sheffield Wednesday, Birmingham City and Leyton Orient, amongst others. Hosted by Rich Ferraro, with Maradona of the Midlands, Adam and guest appearance by Zigger Zagger. Part 2 of ...

July 24, 2023 09:56 - 43 minutesBefore we start to look forward to the new season, we have a chat with ex-Red Grant Holt, discussing his footballing journey from non-league to the Premier League, including a spell at the City Ground which saw some real ups and downs.

Viv Anderson - Local Hero: 1865 Podcast Special
June 09, 2023 07:03 - 28 minutesWe are delighted to be joined by Reds legend Viv Anderson as we celebrate the launch of Local Heroes, the brand-new feature documentary on the incredible tale of three Nottingham Forest football players (Viv, Tony Woodcock and Garry Birtles). Viv talks about how he came to be involved in the film, the impact his upbringing had on his career, his experiences of being part of the squad that performed miracles, and shares his thoughts on the current Forest crop. Steven Toplis and Jeremy Davies a...
The New Brian Clough: The 1865 Nottingham Forest Podcast, June 2023
June 05, 2023 05:00 - 1 hourIn our end of season discussion, Rich Ferraro is joined by Tom Newton, Steven Toplis and Baz in the studio to discuss Forest's player of the season, goal of the season and best moment of the season (and more); why Stevie Cooper is so damn good, and which players are staying and going. We also have a news roundup from Callum Castel, Jeremy Davies' sketch, and we hear from Her Game Too Ambassador (and massive Forest fan) Ellie Molloson. Our cast are also joined by the Maradona of the Midlands a...
Crystal Palace 1-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
May 29, 2023 17:15 - 43 minutesWaka waka eh eh? The game was probably second to the occasion as Forest's army of travelling fans supported the team to an away point. Having scored Forest's first Premier League goal this season, Taiwo Awoniyi also got the last, hitting double figures in his debut Premier League campaign. However, Will Hughes' header deflected off Willy Boly to earn the hosts a point, which meant that everyone was probably happy enough. Rich Ferraro is joined by Tom and Adam, both fresh back from a long day ...
Nottingham Forest 1-0 Arsenal: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
May 21, 2023 15:42 - 47 minutesTHEY DID IT! WE DID IT! Forest preserved their Premier League status with a game to spare, as they defeated Arsenal at the City Ground, destroying the visitors' faint title hopes in the process. The game wasn't massively memorable, but the occasion was immense - the City Ground has never been so loud and the team, staff and fans were jubilant at the final whistle. Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to discuss the game, and the genius that is Stevie Cooper. Emilka Forest joins with her views on the...
Chelsea 2-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
May 14, 2023 09:37 - 41 minutesA tense and battling performance earned the Reds a point, but for a while it felt like it could have been more. A header in each half from Taiwo Awoniyi put Forest in the lead, then pulled them back into contention, either side of Raheem Sterling's (preventable) brace. Rich Ferraro is joined by the Maradona of the Midlands to discuss the game, with Callum Castel providing the latest news roundup. Time will tell if this point is enough, but for now the Reds are three points outside of the rele...
Nottingham Forest 4-3 Southampton: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
May 09, 2023 20:02 - 52 minutesPhew. That was way closer than we would have liked, wasn't it? In the end, three very good goals (two for Awoniyi and one for Danilo), plus a Morgan Gibbs-White penalty, saw Forest take the points despite their best efforts to let Saints back into the match. Rich Ferraro is joined by Adam to discuss a game that saw the Reds climb three places, and three points, out of the relegation zone, with special mentions for Mangala, Danilo, Awoniyi, Worrall and the almost-goal by Felipe. We also hear f...
Forest philosophies: The 1865 Nottingham Forest Podcast, April-May 2023
May 06, 2023 05:00 - 1 hourIn our monthly Forest Ramble magazine show, Rich Ferraro is joined by Adam, Steven and Tom to discuss a whole range of Reds issues: Can the Reds beat the drop and how many points will it take to do it? Midfield matters and keeper conundrums. And not for the first time, why so many injuries? All this and more, as we are joined once again by Jeremy Davies with the 1865 Sketch, we discuss the recent show of solidarity with Hillsborough survivors with Zigger Zagger Pete, and we have another r...
Brentford 2-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
April 30, 2023 11:20 - 38 minutesThe circumstances of this defeat felt particularly damaging as Brentford scored two late goals, the second of which came after Danilo had to come off due to injury, leaving the Reds with ten men. To add insult to injury, the winning goal was checked and Yoann Wissa was actually marginally onside. It had all felt so promising after Danilo had given the Reds the lead on the stroke of half-time. Baz is joined by Tom Newton to talk about another awayday setback, on a weekend which will likely see...
Nottingham Forest 3-1 Brighton and Hove Albion: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
April 27, 2023 09:42 - 46 minutesA welcome three points, and five goals in two matches, as Forest beat Brighton with a battling second-half performance, showing that Forest are magic on and off the pitch. Despite missing a first half penalty and conceding another soft goal, Forest drew level in first half stoppage time through Pascal Gross' own goal, and this set them up to win through Danilo and Morgan Gibbs-White (with the second penalty of the match). Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to talk tactics, formations and injuries,...
Liverpool 3-2 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
April 23, 2023 14:32 - 51 minutesForest huffed and puffed, but despite scoring twice away from home, it was Diogo Jota and Mo Salah who blew the Reds' house down, as defensive indiscipline from set pieces led to cheap goals conceded. Still, Neco Williams and Morgan Gibbs-White both scored deflected efforts to give the away fans some hope that there is some spirit in the Forest ranks. Steven Toplis and Tom Newton discuss the action after a day when Forest supporters showed solidarity with Hillsborough victims, survivors and t...
Nottingham Forest 0-2 Manchester United: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
April 17, 2023 13:40 - 45 minutesThe billionaires of Manchester United beat Nottingham Forest as £100m Antony and £80m Casemiro shone for the visitors. It was the Brazilian winger who took the headlines as he scored one and made one, and provided threat from the wing, while £70m Bruno Fernandes also peppered the Forest goal. At least £50m Antony Martial and £80m Harry Maguire had to sing for their supper, with the England defender fortunate not to concede a penalty which VAR saw, but decided not to give. Rich Ferraro and Baz...
Aston Villa 2-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
April 10, 2023 11:21 - 44 minutesA change in formation and personnel, but the same old result. Following a reasonable showing in the first half, a moment of madness from Jonjo Shelvey gifted a goal to Bertrand Traore. The Reds (yellows) were up against it from that moment on; substitutions were unsuccessful, and the misery was compounded when Forest went down to ten men after using all their subs. Ollie Watkins sealed the result in stoppage time. Steven and Tom discuss the match after getting home from Villa Park, and having...
Leeds United 2-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
April 05, 2023 18:15 - 47 minutesForest took an early lead at Elland Road but after that never really laid a glove on a resurgent Leeds side. Orel Mangala's well-taken goal gave the travelling fans some hope, but Jack Harrison's soft equaliser and Luis Sinisterra's curler ensured that the hosts had the lead at the break. The Reds shuffled things around but couldn't make an impression, leaving Steve Cooper eight games without a win. Rich discusses the game with Steven, who is fresh back from Leeds, and apart from the match ac...
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
April 02, 2023 06:12 - 41 minutesA late equaliser from Daniel Podence made a good performance feel like a disappointing result, as Forest failed to capitalise on their chances and take all the points. Brennan Johnson's first half goal gave the Reds the advantage, but it could have been more, especially when Emmanuel Dennis failed to square to Morgan Gibbs-White in the second half. Rich and Baz discuss a feisty encounter, touchline bust-ups and ask the eternal question of "what the hell is VAR for?". We also consider Steve Co...
Football decisions: The 1865 Nottingham Forest Podcast, March 2023
March 24, 2023 05:00 - 59 minutesAfter looking in fine fettle, the last few weeks have seen Forest's form fall away. In this month's 1865 Forest Ramble: The table is getting tighter and tighter - can the Reds beat the drop? Has Forest’s January transfer business actually made the team weaker? Why so many injuries? All this and more, as we also have our regular sketch from Jeremy Davies, and we have another round of our Nottingham Forest quiz (and a surprising appearance from an early 90s indie band). Presented by Rich Fe...
Nottingham Forest 1-2 Newcastle United: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
March 18, 2023 17:58 - 54 minutesA stoppage-time penalty from Alexander Isak saw the Reds fall to their first home defeat since October, and record consecutive Premier League defeats. Emmanuel Dennis had given Forest the lead with an expert finish before Isak scored his first at the end of the first half. There was also time for another curious VAR call in the home team's favour, before Moussa Niakhaté's mistake gave Isak his chance to seal the win. Rich and Steven discuss the game, with expert analysis from Beth of Newcastl...
Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
March 13, 2023 10:38 - 46 minutesAnother bad away day for the Reds, who were lucky that VAR ruled in their favour after just three minutes, but still fell to another thrashing, this time at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur. Harry Kane scored two and Son Heung Min got the other, with Joe Worrall getting a consolation, and Andre Ayew missing a penalty which would have flattered the Reds. Steven is joined by Tom, who went to the match and despite sleeping on it, is understandably disgruntled. We also hear from JP from the Cheese ...
Nottingham Forest 2-2 Everton: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
March 06, 2023 06:00 - 43 minutesIt was billed as a six-pointer, a must win, so both teams will be equally (dis)satisfied with a point each. Steve Cooper and Forest will be unhappy with the manner of the goals conceded, although Brennan Johnson's brace of goals ensured that the Reds got a share of the spoils. Rich and Baz discuss the game, Steve Cooper's reaction and the tactical conundrums of how to get the best from the current squad. We are also joined by Mike from The Unholy Trinity Podcast, for a view from the away end....
West Ham 4-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
February 26, 2023 17:36 - 50 minutesA disastrous day for Steve Cooper and the Reds as the gaffer bemoaned the efforts of his team. In reality, he needs to take his share of the blame for a substitution and formation change at 0-0 that backfired badly, and allowed West Ham to score four goals without reply. Steven hosts, and is joined by Adam, who has fortunately had enough time to calm down a bit after his journey home from east London. Subscribe to 1865 via your podcast provider, and please leave a review, as it helps other F...
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Manchester City: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
February 20, 2023 06:00 - 31 minutesChris Wood's late equaliser saw Forest grab a point in a match which showcased Steve Cooper's gameplan. The gaffer acknowledged that the Reds had to put their own ambitions to one side for much of this encounter, but subs and tactical changes rattled Pep Guardiola and his team. Baz and Tom discuss the match, the tactics and the genius of the Forest Head Coach. We also hear from Man City fan Mike from the Perth De La Prem podcast, and Callum Castel joins us with the latest Forest news. Subscr...
Nottingham Forest 1-0 Leeds United: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
February 12, 2023 22:09 - 39 minutesForest ground out a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Leeds United in this relegation six-pointer. The result was due in no small part to the heroics of debutant keeper Keylor Navas, and a formation and tactical change at half-time by Stevie Cooper. Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to discuss the match, the table and the fixture list as Forest draw a line under a positive six weeks or so, before entering a tricky run of games. Subscribe to 1865 via your podcast provider, and please leave a review...
Fulham 2-0 Nottingham Forest: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
February 12, 2023 22:09 - 24 minutesForest were deservedly beaten by Marco Silva's Fulham, and despite a 20-minute period of pressure in the second half, can have no complaints about the result as the hosts offered far more threat in front of goal. The Reds were also hamstrung (ahem) by the loss of centre-halves Willy Boly and Scott McKenna after just five minutes. The Maradona of the Midlands is joined by Steven Toplis to discuss things from a Red perspective, and we also hear from Matt from Fulham Focus, providing a view from...
Manchester United 2-0 Nottingham Forest (5-0 on aggregate): The 1865 Carabao Cup Match Report
February 03, 2023 09:18 - 50 minutesThe result we dreamed of was overtaken by the result most likely, as Manchester United scored two quick goals in the last quarter of the game to well and truly put this tie to bed. Again, Forest put in a creditable performance, but United will feel as though they were in control. As well as the match, we also include a discussion about the Reds' deadline day transfer activity, as Shelvey, Felipe and Navas (and then Ayew) join the Forest ranks. Presented by Steven Toplis, and our man at Old Tr...
Mentality Monster: The 1865 Nottingham Forest Podcast, January 2023
January 30, 2023 06:00 - 1 hourThe transfer window is almost over and Forest have added two more Brazilians and a Kiwi. In this month's Forest Ramble: Forest’s summer transfer business: did we manage more hits than misses? Do we salute to Hennessy as the Reds’s number 2, or should we sign a new custodian while Hendo’s on the mendo? There is a real Brazilian influence on the team - will the Big D get Reds fans excited? All this and more, as we also have our regular sketch from Jeremy Davies, we discuss mental health and...
Nottingham Forest 0-3 Manchester United: The 1865 Carabao Cup Match Report
January 26, 2023 18:51 - 29 minutesForest were comprehensively beaten in the end by a Manchester United team who took an early lead through Marcus Rashford, before goals at the end of each half by Weghorst and Fernandes sealed the deal. However, the Reds did have a really good spell in the first half, and it could have been so different if Sam Surridge's equaliser had stood when Forest were 1-0 down; as it was, VAR ruled that the striker's shoelace was offside. Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to discuss the game, making comparis...
Nottingham Forest 2-0 Leicester City: The 1865 Premier League Match Report
January 15, 2023 10:34 - 39 minutesThis felt like a symbolic result after Forest got battered at the King Power Stadium a few months ago, as a measure of how far the Reds have come. Two goals from Brennan Johnson decided the match, the first after VAR intervened on an offside call, and the second from a frankly sexy counter-attack. Rich Ferraro and Baz discuss the game, the injuries and Forest's newfound status as a mid-table Premier League team (but it's still pretty tight down there). We also have honourable mentions for Ren...
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers (4-3 on pens): The 1865 Carabao Cup Match Report
January 12, 2023 19:52 - 34 minutesA dramatic night at the City Ground saw tempers flare, especially at the end after Forest won a penalty shootout to progress to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup. Wolves will argue that they were marginally the better team in normal time, forcing a number of saves from Dean Henderson and having a penalty claim that falls into the "seen them given" category. Baz presents our match report alongside Tom Newton, whose voice was still recovering! Adam also chips in with his views on the Morgan Gi...
