    Nottingham Forest's new era | Douglas Luiz doubts? | Anderson over Gibbs-White?
    Aug 19 2025
    Matt Davies is joined by the i paper's chief football writer Daniel Storey and Harrogate Town goalkeeper James Belshaw to discuss the latest Nottingham Forest transfer news on Douglas Luiz, Arnaud Kalimuendo, Omari Hutchinson and James McAtee. James also breaks down two of the goals from Sunday's 3-1 win over Brentford, plus we look at Forest's increased possession stats and ask if that is going to be the way the team plays now. James also discusses his time playing alongside Elliot Anderson at Bristol Rovers as they went from the lower reaches of League Two to winning promotion with Anderson their outstanding player. James explains why he would have Anderson ahead of Morgan Gibbs-White if he could only pick one player. We also discuss the possibility of Luiz joining from Juventus and ask if it is a risky deal for Forest. Finally, we discuss the aborted minute's silence for Diogo Jota and his brother before the Brentford game thanks to the pretty disgraceful actions of one Forest fan. #nffc #nottinghamforest 🎫 To purchase Forest v West Ham hospitality tickets via Seat Unique go to: https://tinyurl.com/348x5kxd 🙏 Do like and subscribe to our channel.
