Match18 Nov 2026

Nottingham Forest march on in the cup

Peterborough United are out and Nottingham Forest go through, 3‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Both of them Chris Wood's — 9.30

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.30, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

No sign of nerves from Zyan Blake at 19 — 7.96

The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Zyan Blake did not need any: 7.96, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Matz Sels gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The terraces23 Nov 2026

The crowd has taken to Zyan Blake

At 19 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match21 Nov 2026

A bad afternoon for Nottingham Forest against Brentford

0‑2 to Brentford, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Nobody could get near Dan Ndoye

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Loan watch23 Nov 2026

Lamin Sillah wants to come home

“I did not go to Perth Glory to sit and watch. I want to come back to Nottingham Forest and fight for my place.” 4 appearances in 12 matches say the rest.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Jack Reid faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Jack Reid after 0‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Match1 Oct 2026

Liam Delap lights up a European night for Nottingham Forest

1‑0 against Oțelul Galați, and a performance that will be described to people who were not there for the rest of the season. Liam Delap was at the centre of the description.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Dan Ndoye runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad5 Oct 2026

The step up is real for Zyan Blake

At 18 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Match4 Oct 2026

A bad afternoon for Nottingham Forest against Manchester United

1‑2 to Manchester United, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The terraces5 Oct 2026

Nottingham Forest supporters have found a favourite in Liam Delap

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Liam Delap has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of Lorenzo Lucca

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad5 Oct 2026

International break empties Nottingham Forest

5 call-ups is a compliment to the squad and a headache for the man running it. He will get them back in a fortnight, tired, in various states of repair.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Ousmane Diomande left out for the big one

A player who expected to start watched it instead. The manager will call it a decision for the team; Ousmane Diomande will call it something else in private.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Matz Sels is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

In brief
