Was about to come on and sing our praises, very good first half which carried on from our second half against Lincoln but we've slept from the restart and conceded instantly. Disappointing as we were good for our lead.
9 times out of 10 when I've seen that sort of challenge made, it's gone the defender's way. Akinde had no intention of playing the ball. When it's in the box though you always run the risk of giving the referee a decision to make. Had that been the referee's only bad decision I could give him...
Thought we played Lincoln all over the park second half. Referee kept them in the game with some horrific decisions after what was a fair first half by him. It's a better point for us ultimately and this season is more about building performances than points so we'll be the happier of the two sides.
Even game I think, Lincoln probably done better with the ball but we took our chance. Both sides look pretty good if I dare say. Hessenthaler is a fantastic player, running the show for me.
Soundly beaten 2-0 despite fielding a strong team. Seems like we were just outpaced all over the park. Not concerned but it highlights our need for a couple more players before we can start making any real noise in the league. Young lads Max Wright and Akheem Rose got some game time and it...
I think we'll be up for this and it'll be great to see a couple of local lads playing for us in a derby but sadly Lincoln are the team to beat for me this season and they've just got more quality around the park. I don't see us getting battered by any means but I'll be surprised if we manage to...
We won't be in a relegation battle this season. This argument that our signings are all shit is a myth with zero backup to the claims. Our signings have been fine, we will be fine.
Rose's red won't be overturned sadly. It's a good opportunity for Clifton to come into the middle and stake a...
I think we can make it work if we play RHJ and Fox which I have actually said a few times but if we're not going to do that then Jolley should and did rightly change it. My point is essentially about fans who can't give a new system even one game to work. It was never going to be perfect from...
Good performance from us. Thought the red card was a bit harsh but if he's gone over the ball with studs up then what can you do. Excellent goal from Vernam to seal it, I've got really high hopes for the lad and think he could be a real answer for us up front.
Much, much better performance so far. Looking a lot more comfortable in possession and playing a bunch of neat stuff on the floor, especially in the build up to the goal.
I agree Jolley won't and shouldn't drop his 352 system. This is a work in progress that will take numerous transfer windows to accomplish. If it doesn't work over the next handful of games then he might shelf it until January but it's clear that this is what he wants to do. We have a history of...
Didn't notice him during the match as our entire defence was trash but seeing the highlights, depending on how you look at it, he might have been at fault for both of the 'normal' goals.
Gunning was played in midfield half the time for us. I always thought he had something about him in terms of quality as a centre half but as said, his attitude was appalling.
We have good wing backs, we just didn't play them for some reason. I like the system but agree that it's going to fail massively if we don't have the personnel for it. Dixon can't even manage half the pitch nevermind all of it and Clifton isn't suited there at all. Fox and Hall-Johnson should...
Well that was a good laugh.
Forest Green were the better side, fair play. 4-1 was flattering as said but who wouldn't take a couple of gifts like that. I can't even begin to fathom it but I'm grateful it's only the first game of the season. There is no way we have a half as comical as that...
