  • Nearly a 1 Star review!

    I know it’s sponsored but they don’t talk about matchday experiences other than The Trent Nav. I DJ at Bootroom though. Clearly I’m biased but we do have a great time there too as does William Gunn and The Larwood.

    Other than that though and despite the digs Matt’s admin receives from the guests the conversations are mixed, thought over and fans are well represented along with occasional former pro’s, press members, and data analysts so he’s built a great collective there well worth listening t... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Brentford vs Forest match preview | What should we expect from Delap for £50m?
Q: When you look at those figures, I think there is value out there, but maybe it's the older experienced striker, or you look abroad, finding it domestically in the younger bracket is pretty difficult, and you've got to have a lot of faith in players and a lot of research and a lot of confidence that they will come good, I think.
Clarke says finding a prolific striker is difficult and expensive. He argues Forest are paying for Delap's potential and suitability to Glasner's system as well as his past performances, and believes Delap will come good.
Brentford vs Forest match preview | What should we expect from Delap for £50m?
Q: Do you see Delap, Garry, as a 10 to 15 goal striker right now, or is he maybe a bit below that, because his finishing hasn't been great yet or not?
Birtles says Delap has the ability and work rate, but the pressure of his transfer fee and a lack of confidence may be affecting his finishing. He expects a couple of goals to help Delap settle and start taking chances earlier.
Brentford v Forest opposition view | Bees ready for revenge?
Q: Is Igor Thiago regressing, or is he playing well but the goals just aren't coming for him?
Grant says Thiago remains positive and contributes to the team, but has lacked confidence in front of goal after missing an opportunity on his Brazil debut and receiving criticism. He expects that confidence to return when Thiago scores.
Brentford v Forest opposition view | Bees ready for revenge?
Q: What have you made of Brentford so far?
Grant says Brentford began the season strongly after retaining key players and adding signings, but has since had to work hard for results and is still learning to manage different match situations.
Familiar Forest frustration | What needs to change?
Q: Would you bring Igor Jesus in for Dan Ndoye when he is fit?
Kelvin Wilson sees it as a close decision between similar options and says form and confidence should determine the choice. Pete Blackburn prefers keeping the current front three, arguing Ndoye's pace and ability to stretch play complement the other attackers.
