Nottingham Forest v Manchester City Match Review 25/26

Greg Oram & Richard Spray host, and with them on the panel they're joined by Dave Thompson and The Garibaldi Bard – Jack Thompson! Whenever you play Manchester City you know the margins are fine, and today those margins didn’t fall our way. Forest were beaten, but the story isn’t just the scoreline — it’s about how the game unfolded, where we competed, and where the gap still showed. We’ll talk about the game plan, the moments that shifted the momentum, the chances we did and didn’t take, and how City’s control eventually told. There were spells where Forest stood up well and looked more than able to compete with the premier league high flyers. But we might reflect that this was a tale of set-pieces. Our failure to use multiple opportunities successfully and City’s punishing aptitude when their routine finally landed. This is about perspective, not panic. An honest, clear-eyed review of a tough afternoon and what Forest have to take from it going forward. But beyond the match and more importantly, our hearts are broken, the sorrow we feel is raw and the hurt very real as we start to process the loss of our greatest ever player John Robertson.
