    The Duff Cooper Prize - Cheltenham versus FGR

    I take Chris's point about changing the game plan, needs something a bit different to our normal approach. Either completely shutting up shop and bringing on the finishers let's on, or trying more long balls and crosses into Collins in greater numbers. Aitchison is exactly the type of player you...

    FGR v Mansfield

    Wasn’t there so can’t comment other than generally, I don’t think our squad has the depth when certain players are out for injured. It’s a big ask to bring your a-game every time, when youngsters are still learning there trade, plus seldom does the opposition simply not turn-up. We improve on...

    FGR v Mansfield

    With Shepherd back and with Frear signed yesterday giving us a mental boost, I fancy we might continue our improved home form. (I doubt Frear will play, not fit enough yet). Mansfield finally building some momentum, it will be an interesting, game. If they get in our face. we don't like it and...

    This week's "BIGGEST Game of the League 2 Season so far" - The Grecians v The Vegans

    ‘Shep’ makes it work, without him it will indeed be interesting to see if the goals dryup. As you say against on form opposition it would have been hard enough anyway. Excuses in.

    Yep don't fancy it at all. Backs to the wall performance today. Odd we can't add another academy player though!

    League 2 General Chat Thread

    We do seem to have found a goal threat in the last two games. That made the difference today. The Crawley defence we're pressured and duly obliged. The recently returned Liam Shepherd adding a threat from the right previously missing. That alone a big improvement. The Crawley forwards looked...

    Joe Mills resumes as top scorer, what a guy. More goals to come. Crawley will score at some point, so we will need to score again!

    Question, would YOU as supporters support my tinpot chancers being in L2 next season?

    Perfectly reasoned arguments, I wouldn't agree with everything, I think it has to be two up from NL for the pyramid to be meaningful. Financial doping as you put it, is not desirable and can go horribly wrong, Eastleigh must have spent more than some small countries entire GDP, without success...

    Class of 92 v Class of 1889 (Salford v FGR)

    On balance I think I'd prefer a 1-1 or even better a 2-2 than what I expect we might get, nil, nil. Yes we could loose 3-0, but please just give it a bloody go and take it from there, rather than this brexit version of the game we've developed...

    Forest Green Rovers v Stevenage Borough

    The efforts there, but the play's so constrained. You wouldn't mind if we just gave it a bloody good bollocking some times. Those days where if all else failed you could create inertia from shear bloody mindedness and brute force alone. ala Paul Stonehouse, have GONE! It's all getting a bit...
