    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

  • The Gold Standard

    First off I have total admiration for Matt Davies who branched out and based his livelihood on an institution as inherently unreliable as Nottingham Forest Football Club. The breadth of guests and contributors runs the gamut from traditional football men to those waist high in stats and metrics. All of this is underpinned by Matt’s good humour and journalistic rigour and sobriety.

Oliver Glasner interview | Hudson-Odoi, Kalimuendo and Forest's lack of stability

Glasner describes ongoing processes of integration and getting to know players, acknowledging the challenges of a destabilized period and emphasizing a structured approach to building a cohesive unit.
Dream of Europe? | McAtee for England? | Listener Q&A
Q: How will the club manage Chris Wood and Liam Dillap in the short term, and could Wood help Dillap reach Premier League stardom?
Wood is seen as a mentor who can help Dillap adjust to top-flight demands, providing guidance and minutes that support Dillap's development while helping Forest navigate rotation and injuries across a busy schedule.
Dream of Europe? | McAtee for England? | Listener Q&A
Q: Prediction on how McAtee will end up doing this year and what the buy-back clause might look like.
The group expects McAtee to be a strong contributor and possibly a standout player if he maintains form, with discussions around a two-year window and first refusal from City rather than a straightforward buy-back; the consensus is positive about his development and potential reach.
