We’re into the Europa League Round of 16, but that was far from the comfortable night at the City Ground we all expected. Despite holding a three-goal cushion from the first leg, the Reds looked a shadow of themselves as Vítor Pereira’s decision to rotate the squad nearly backfired. A lacklustre first half saw us punished by a hungrier Fenerbahçe side, and it took a quadruple substitution at half-time to restore some order. Wolfie dissects a nervy night under the lights, questioning why the fringe players failed their audition so spectacularly when the pressure was on to prove they belong in this European journey.

The biggest concern coming out of tonight isn't just the result, but the glaring lack of depth. While the "First XI" has shown they can compete with the best, the drop-off in quality from the squad players who came in was alarming. We looked disjointed in midfield and fragile at the back, but most worryingly, we still look toothless in the final third without our main men firing. As the games pile up in both the Premier League and Europe, Wolfie asks the burning question: where are the goals going to come from for the rest of the season? If we can't rely on the rotation options to step up now, we could be in for a very long spring.

We want to hear from you—are you just happy to be in the hat for the next round, or are you as concerned as we are about that performance? Who out of the "B-team" disappointed you the most, and do we need to dive into the free agent market or lean even harder on the youth to find some goals? Drop your thoughts in the comments below, join the debate, and as always, YOU REDS!

The Europa League magic returns to the City Ground as Nottingham Forest look to secure their place in the next round! After that incredible 3-0 "Turkish Delight" victory in Istanbul, Vítor Pereira’s men hold a massive advantage heading into this second leg. Wolfie is back to break down all the tactical talking points, from the atmosphere building by the Trent to the pressure on Fenerbahçe to overturn a mountain. We’ve done the hard work away from home, but as we know with Forest, the job isn't finished until the final whistle blows.

With a heavy schedule and a crucial run of Premier League fixtures ahead, all eyes are on the team sheet. Will Vítor Pereira use this 3-0 cushion to rotate the squad and give some key men a rest? We’re looking at the potential for Dilane Bakwa and James McAtee to jump into the starting XI and provide that creative spark. The big question for the panel and the fans is the defense—with a three-goal lead, is it worth risking the likes of Murillo and Nikola Milenković, or should we wrap our star center-backs in cotton wool and give the fringe players a chance to prove their worth?

We want to hear your predicted lineups and score predictions in the comments below! Should Pereira go full strength to kill the tie early, or is this the perfect opportunity to see what the squad depth is really made of? Let us know if you think McAtee and Bakwa deserve the nod and how you’re feeling ahead of another massive European night under the lights.

The dust has settled at the City Ground, but the anger hasn't. Welcome to a massive live edition of the Grumpy Old Reds podcast as Wolfie and the panel get stuck into the fallout from yesterday’s 0-1 defeat to Liverpool. We are breaking down that sickening 97th-minute winner and the controversial VAR offside decision that has left the entire Forest faithful feeling cheated. Was Virgil van Dijk interfering with play, or have we been "done" by a Big Six bias once again? We’re dissecting the footage, the referee's performance, and the sheer injustice of coming away with nothing after matching the league leaders every step of the way.

Despite the result, we have to talk about the "Pereira Revolution." The panel reflects on a brilliant tactical display that saw Forest dominate large spells of the game, proving that "Pereira-Ball" is much more than just a honeymoon phase. We’re asking the big question: with performances like that, can we comfortably navigate our way to Premier League safety? Jump into the live chat and let us know your thoughts on the VAR scandal, your player ratings from the weekend, and whether you think the new boss has what it takes to keep us up. It's time to vent, Forest fans—let's get into it. COYR!

Wolfie dissects what was a great performance but ended in defeat for Nottingham Forest!

The City Ground is absolutely fuming tonight, and rightfully so. Welcome to the match reaction as Wolfie dissects a gutting 0-1 defeat that feels like a total robbery. Nottingham Forest played Liverpool off the park for long periods, especially in a dominant first half where we looked like the only team destined for three points. But in a repeat of the worst kind of drama, Alexis Mac Allister snatched a 97th-minute winner that has left the world of "Ref Watch" in a meltdown. We’re diving deep into the controversial VAR call—was Virgil van Dijk actually offside in the buildup, or did Ola Aina’s foot really play him onside? After Mac Allister already had one ruled out for handball just minutes earlier, it felt like the script was written for a scandal.

Despite the heartbreak, we have to talk about the "Pereira Effect." The first 45 minutes was arguably some of the best football we've seen all season, with the lads carving through the league leaders with confidence and tactical discipline. Vítor Pereira’s system is clearly clicking; we created 12 shots in the first half alone—the most Liverpool have conceded in a single half in over a decade! From Murillo’s defensive masterclass to the energy in our transitions, there are massive positives to take away.

Now we want to hear from you in the comments—was it a fair decision or have we been "done" by the officials again? Is Pereira the man to steer this ship to safety regardless of these dodgy calls? The panel debates if this performance proves we have enough quality to stay up, as we look ahead to the crucial second leg against Fenerbahçe and the trip to Brighton. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but the Pereira Revolution is well and truly underway. Get your thoughts in below, rate the players, and let’s vent together. YOU REDS!
