I think this is where someone says, ‘strong bench’.

How we doing? Possession is nearly 80%/20% in our favour.

Doesn't sound too bad on ifollow but commentator saying 'a bit flat'

Having just said that, we nearly scored there

These are there for the taking f we can step up a gear..

We’re miles better than them but haven’t created anything. So score says 0-0.

Must do better up front.

Good break and could have scored.. poor finish from Moly..
Title: Re: Rovers v Forest Green

HT.  in control and FGR are offering very little.  Can do better, should do better 2nd half.
Title: Re: Rovers v Forest Green
Post by: NickDRFC on March 23, 2024, 03:50:23 pm
Think we’ve played quite well but been very sloppy and made some poor decisions in the final third. Maxwell is having a great game and looks our best player.

Molyneux is rather selfish
Title: Re: Rovers v Forest Green
Post by: Wiltshire Exile on March 23, 2024, 03:52:56 pm
Blimey, only 11 posts in this first half…must be something of a record!
Title: Re: Rovers v Forest Green
Post by: monkeytennis on March 23, 2024, 03:53:20 pm
We’re taking a low risk approach I think. They are happy sitting back and trying to get forward when and if we lose possession. They are tight in defence but we’ll score if we can create a bit more chaos. I think if we get a goal they’ll fall apart as they’ll have to play with more risk and get forward.

Post by: sedwardsdrfc on March 23, 2024, 03:54:18 pm
They are awful. If we speed it up and play with a bit more intensity we’ll be too much for them

I think that reflects the game - little to share.

They are rigid with their banks of4 , no press at all when we play out from the back..  looks like they. Have come for a point, and will try and hit us on the break..
Title: Re: Rovers v Forest Green
Post by: Prez on March 23, 2024, 04:02:22 pm
They are well organised. We need to step up a gear second half. Too much football from us playing across the back line. They are happy to let us have it there. Could be a frustrating one this.
Title: Re: Rovers v Forest Green
Post by: ForsolongaRover on March 23, 2024, 04:07:08 pm
Rovers have passed the ball well and you might have expected more end product, except for the fact that FRG are very well disciplined in defence without being over physical. For one we seem to have a sensible ref too.

Yessss …. Molly with a neat finish.

Have we scored?
Title: Re: Rovers v Forest Green
Post by: IDM on March 23, 2024, 04:25:04 pm
Looked like he sliced it unless he meant to outside foot it into the space the goalie couldn’t reach?

Still, perhaps the game will speed up a bit now with more chances?
Title: Re: Rovers v Forest Green
Post by: IDM on March 23, 2024, 04:26:47 pm
Have we scored?

You wouldn’t have thought so, but yes..

Should have been 2 just now as well..

Yes 1-0 on 62 mins

2-0..  OG

Even I would call it game over now.!

We're not on top of our game, but winning at a canter.
That's such a positive today

10 points off 7th with 8 games to go

Good old BBC. Streets behind. Still says 1-0 on teletext.

Top half finish definitely possible, financially useful for  quite a few optimists on here. (Me included)

Last 10 games 21 points. Top of last 10 form table

That was easy. Never threatened

Not at our best but as Iberian said won at a canter. Good sign indeed.

Never in doubt either. Not great to watch,but easy

Decent result.  Low key performance but even that was significantly better than FGR. 

21 points from 10 games..
Title: Re: Rovers v Forest Green
Post by: IDM on March 23, 2024, 05:00:32 pm
TLT didn’t have a save to make.. not one..  that’s how bad FGR were..
Title: Re: Rovers v Forest Green
Post by: BobG on March 23, 2024, 05:00:49 pm
It said 1-0 for a good 7 or 8 minutes after we scored the second Mark. It's not like there's hundreds of matches today either...

Win the game in hand and it would be 14th.as it stands

Post by: normal rules on March 23, 2024, 05:08:30 pm
Odd to see a ten point gap now between rovers and Grimsby with just three league positions between them. Yet a same ten point gap to 7th. Mid table very tight.

Good performance that. I thought we managed the game well. Could have taken more chances but another clean sheet is great.
