Forest Green v Barrow match thread

[bigmac95]

Shambles. I honestly don't think we have recruited well, and it seems that the step up is beginning to show. Casson coming out in the press raising expectations saying we want to be in the play off mix does not help either. How we possibly turned down bond with our centre mids is a joke. We have symington who has little fitness playing and looking like he is made chalk. 2 bad results away at 2 top clubs should be kept within reality, we should not be beating these teams, but to have 9 men and conceded as we have done is really worrying!

Edmo time to step up and learn from these mistakes. Hopefully this will cause us to delve into the market for a right back, a winger and for me another centre half - wont happen but one can hope.

Could someone more literate than me please put that the ref was a [SwearFilter] disgrace into a proper post.

Can't really blame players for that today.

Win Tuesday and we've won half our games

Keep the faith

[boyliegladbach]

Can't keep giving sides 2 goal starts early doors, not at this level. Didn't expect much out of these 2 games but did expect us to keep it tight and difficult to break down This is where Edmo has to learn quick.

Agree totally. He has to learn quickly or he will be sat in the stands as a supporter and not the boss.

We don't want to throw away all last seasons good work.

We had ten men.

Reality check time people. The squad isn't good enough for top half. Maybe just good enough to stay up. Yes played 2 top teams but capitulated badly. Agree tuesday is massive, can see another defeat but hope for a win. 3 new players needed at least. CB, RB and winger.

[tictactoe]

To even suggest Casson having a meeting about edmo, whether true or not, is just absolute [SwearFilter]. We are three games in ffs. Did anyone expect us to get anything from Tuesday or today, probably not many. I also don't want to see us throwing the cheque book around just because we can that is just plain silly. The result today nay have been different 11 v 11 but we'll never know, like people have said lets wait a while before pressing the panic button

Massive over reaction we were never expected to get anything from Grimsby & fgr

Totally agree. We were never gonna roll up in the conference prem and get the better of the big money teams from day 1 with the squad we've got - despite what PC etc may have said in the press amidst the hype of pre-season.

I have no doubt we can pick up maximum points against guiesley, Southport and halifax

To avoid a relegation scrap we definitely need to be averaging 2 points a game against these kind of teams (i.e. those expected to populate the bottom half of the table). Think the blind panic should at least be put on hold until we see how we fare on Tuesday night against Guiseley.

Perhaps so but the manner of our defeats is worrying. Eight goals conceded and two sending offs, comprehensively out played. We need to urgently strengthen our defence, and find another way of attacking other than long balls hit in the general direction of Cook

We had 9. We had 11 at Grimsby but he got his team selection, formation and tactics very wrong.

ah well,tuesday night

[A.B.]

10 men against a top 3 side for 70 minutes was never going to be easy. When we did have 11, it sounded like we were right in the game, and possibly even playing the better football. Disappointed by Williams' sending off on the 91st minute - makes things that bit tougher when we now have 2 centre halfs suspended. Massive game on Tuesday, hopefully we can bounce back with a win.

But what do I know? I haven't made hundreds of appearances in the Football League, so my view on the game isn't valid to some.

Seen that line a few times now, where's that come from?

[liverpoolann]

Ok we lost heavily against two highly fancied teams and rode our luck against Dover.For goodness sake give the management team a chance to sort it out.As man said earlier see where we are after ten games.Is learning curve for everyone.Think some people got carried away by last seasons success.Major disappointment today lack of discipline for second sending off.Team management and fans all hurting lets get behind them on Tuesday at home and keep the faith

[boyliegladbach]

We were always going to struggle to get anything out of the game today and impossible with 10 men FGR will be one of the top teams in the league this season.3 games in 1 win and two losses see how we fare at home on Tuesday.

Good post.
