Forest Green Rovers v Barrow, match thread

[Jonty]

Well done boys. That was a great resolute performance second half and we had to dig in.

[blumooncrab]

FGR going down on that performance.

[Etsjb]

Seems like Farman pulls out a superb save at least once every game this season

Absolute MVP this evening! Always has been, and will continue to be a key member of the team for us…always has positive huge moments in each game as you rightly say.

[Etsjb]

Applications are open for the Paul Farman fan club this evening

[Mark Johnson]

Last 3 games - 2 draws, 1 win with two clean sheets

If we back this up with a win on Saturday AND Tuesday the league table will start looking much better - will be in or right around the playoffs.

Farman man of the match by a mile tonight but thought Newby was good again.. some great crosses and nice touches.

Thought some of our players looked tired tonight. I think this is why Campbell went off. He was unusually quite sloppy in possession in that first half.

[cuffy]

Strange match to watch. We certainly looked good going forward and at 0-2 I was still worried. They got through our left side too easy second half and without Farman pulling off a few cracking saves it may have been a tense finish. MOTM Farman for me. (Thought their no7 was class)

[ossickbluebird]

Had my doubts about the selection but we'll done Pete and team, great win

[Etsjb]

Riding our luck a bit but holding well. Farman has been excellent.

The FGR commentators are making them sound like we are bottom 6 and they should be winning this game without any doubts. Lovely

In fairness they should be winning, and that would put us just outside the bottom 6

Balls! Their commentators were very disrespectful. But on the whole it was probably even matched, we sat back 2nd half because they offered no real attacking threat, lots of possession but no quality or final product. Deeney needs to go back to TalkSport.

Praise to Pete Wild for his team selection.
Many of us doubted it was the right one but 2-0 proves he got it right.

[Etsjb]

How many games this season we should have, could have?
Think we’re overdue a little luck

You gotta make your own luck in this game, through graft, commitment, dedication, desire etc. all the things we haven’t had for the last 3 seasons. The team reap their rewards tonight, and deservedly so.

[Jonty]

Seen the reverse of this many times with us chasing a two goal deficit. It’s not easy on the ear listening in but full credit for holding firm and on the occasions they got through we had Farman alert and making some crucial saves.

Great second half game management.

If we win our game in hand things will lot at lot more rosier.

Seldomly gets it wrong, let’s be honest here.

[Methuselah]

Great performance by the Bluebirds tonight .They actually learnt how to win.

Negativity is strong I’d rather be positive & state the fact that we are 4 points & 4 places from the playoffs
