Todays team
Jones in for Lawlor
COYR
-
Hurst, Maxwell and Lawlor all injured
COYR
-
Hurst didn't last long..
-
What formation do we think?
Maybe 3 at the back with Molly as LWB.
Or 4 at the back with Bailey and Nixon the FBs.
-
Senior injured too? This is a joke.
So much for Marsh as well…
-
I'm increasingly inclined to the opinion that there is a culture of skiving at this football club.
-
It does make you wonder. Close coming on and then getting injured for another 3-4 weeks feels like an even money bet.
-
Senior injured too? This is a joke.

What about Marsh?, he's on the bench
-
3' | The first chance of the game goes the way of the hosts with Matty Stevens afforded a free header but he can only guide wide.
0-0
COYR

I raise you 5 at the back, with 2 wing backs! ;)
-
6' | Rovers have their first shot at goal through George Broadbent on the edge of the box but it is deflected wide.
0-0
COYR
-
9' | There's a break in play for an injury for the hosts and a change follows...
OFF: Fankaty Dabo
ON: Dom Bernard.
0-0.
COYR
-
11' | Almost for Rovers as they work well on the left and put the ball in the danger area to see a clearance fumbled and an acrobatic effort from Joe Ironside into the side netting.
0-0.
COYR
-
16' | Tom Nixon does brilliantly to work his way inside from the right and take a shot on with his left but Luke Daniels gets down well to push away from goal.
0-0.
COYR
-
18' | FGR get forward for the first time and get in behind with Kyle McAllister who shoots across goal but Louis Jones saves with the feet. Moments later Troy Deeney takes a shot on and it's saved again.
0-0.
COYR
-
20' | A good spell for FGR now who first hit the bar through Deeney and then have an effort off the post.
0-0
COYR
-
Despite some good moves going forward, We could easily have been 3 down here….
-
23' | Louis Jones is called to make another save, this time from short range and the hosts support think they've taken the lead with the follow up but it's cleared.
0-0.
COYR
-
They’ve been all over us the last 5-10 minutes.
-
12th man for Donny, woodwork on our goal!
-
They've hit the post twice and bar once. Its still this litany of poor decisions and mistakes.
-
25' | YELLOW CARD
Referee Jacob Miles makes use of his cards for the first time as Reece Brown enters the book for a foul on Tom Nixon.
0-0.
COYR
-
Worth noting Rovers have had two efforts on goal that haven't been registered on text commentary or stats.
-
They've hit the post twice and bar once. Its still this litany of poor decisions and mistakes.
Like that pass from Olowu!
-
One way traffic at moment.
-
27' | Kyle McAllister plays a great ball across goal for the hosts and Jamie Robson stretches to meet it but he can't.
0-0.
COYR
-
Can we please get Olowu off … liability.
-
Christcthis could be 4-0 already.
Sort this defence out or we are bottom end of the Conference next year.
-
was just going to say that most of that action from both teams reported by glostered was not reported by bbc. Are they really at the match or just on an expenses fiddle
-
Listening to the commentary on ifollow by Liam Hoden and the break through of the home fans is interesting to listen to, they don’t seem happy
COYR
-
Olowu is becoming more of a liability every game
-

I’m picking up Rovers Twitter/X timeline for updates
COYR
-
32' | Shouts of a penalty for Rovers with Broadbent looking to have been tagged late but the referee waves play on.
0-0.
COYR
-
Definitely would have been given in the prem
-
Class goal
-
It's only a matter of time before we concede.
-
Goalllll
-
Superb goal by Biggins …. yesss!!!!
-
36' | GOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL ROVERSSSSSSS!!!!!
OH MY WORD HARRISON BIGGINS!
0-1.
37' | More on the goal, George Broadbent picks up the ball on the right and curls in towards the box where Biggins fires home with a bicycle kick!
0-1!
COYR
-
Get the f**k in.
-
I'm cashing out lol
-
Another one now before HT!!!
-
Great goal, hope we can hold on
-
40' | Rovers are wasting no time in their search for a second here as the ball breaks to Luke Molyneux who takes the volley on first time and it's just over the crossbar.
0-1.
COYR
-
Molly trying to outdo Biggins … superb strike but narrowly over the bar.
-
Our defence is leading a charmed life
-
42' | Zain Westbrooke aims a free kick at the far post, Ironside heads back across goal and the following contact loops into the hands of the 'keeper.
0-1.
COYR
-
It sounds like the score should be something like 4-4.
-
44' | Forest Green have a dead ball chance with a freekick conceded by Owen Bailey on the left wing. It's swung towards the back post but the header rolls wide.
0-1.
COYR
-
45' | ADDITIONAL TIME
There will be a minimum of four minutes of additional time.
0-1.
COYR
-
45+4' | Joe Ironside and Harrison Biggins are amongst three Rovers players queuing to meet a Molyneux cross but the FGR defence manages to head behind.
0-1.
And half time
COYR
-
HT Some really bright attacking play and a great goal by Biggins but could easily have conceded 4 too.
-
bbc stats show 17 shots from them to 4 from us!!!!! Is that right?
-
bbc stats show 17 shots from them to 4 from us!!!!! Is that right?
No, we certainly have had more than four.
-
We really need to get tight at the back and start closing down. Doing ok in the final 3rd and a great goal from Biggins.
These are not a good team. We really need to beat them now.
-
Our defence is leading a charmed life
A polite way of saying "Our defence is shite"
-
In league games this season, prior to today FGR had conceded only 3 first half goals, but 9 in the second half
We are 9 and 4 respectively. Let's hope that is a sign.
-
We couldn’t be 3 or 4 down the woodwork was hit 3 times but all within a minute. It’s not like we’ve been hammered all the half.
-
10 shots to our 4 on Sky, but with only 2 on target for both sides.
-
There is a desperate need for a goal soon after half time, with that we can start to play football and keep them at bay.
-
Some unbelievable defending by us in that half, it seems very time anyone attacks us they get the better of us, it’s just so weak it’s laughable. We really need to do what we are better at which is attack these as they are very poor, we need at least another goal as we will concede.
I don’t know why we still persist with central defenders who are timid and full of errors, we really need someone who can defend first and foremost, we don’t need a ball playing centre back we need a defender pure and simple, Olowu as mental issues and cannot concentrate for longer than a few seconds and Anderson is a pale imitations of a previous dominant and attacking player. We need much better.
Going forward we take the extra touch too often and mes up an opportunity we need speed and guile.
I’d like to see us go to a back four and get some attacking wingers in play these are nearly as open as us.
-
We couldn’t be 3 or 4 down the woodwork was hit 3 times but all within a minute. It’s not like we’ve been hammered all the half.
Probably a more realistic comment on the match situation.
-
48' | Kyle McAllister puts a great cross in and Troy Deeney attempts to guide home with a diving header but he puts it well wide.
At the other end Mo Faal puts an effort straight at the 'keeper.
0-1.
COYR
-
52' | YELLOW CARD
FGR captain Jordan Moore-Taylor is the next to enter the book for a late challenge on Harrison Biggins.
0-1.
COYR
-
56' | Rovers have a succession of corners from the left hand side and the latest finds Harrison Biggins on the edge of the box but his shot is fired out of the ground.
0-1.
COYR
-
57' | Mo Faal gets within yards of goal and takes a shot on but it's saved before the offside flag is raised.
0-1.
COYR
-
I feel that we are trying to soak up the pressure and we don't have the defence to do it. Faal has been wasteful.
-
60' | More changes for Forest Green...
OFF: Matty Stevens and Teddy Jenks
ON: Matty Taylor and Tyrese Omotoye.
0-1.
COYR
-
We have just moved out of the bottom two.
-
66' | It's a golden opportunity for McAllister with the volley but he fires wide for FGR.
Rovers make a change...
OFF: Mo Faal
On: Louie Marsh
0-1.
COYR
-
We have just moved out of the bottom three.
Games not over yet
COYR
-
…..as it stands.
-
69' | It's been a good start from Marsh who's made a nuisance of himself and took a shot on from range, forcing a save from Luke Daniels.
0-1.
COYR
-
70' | YELLOW CARD
Joe Olowu enters the book for an off the ball incident.
0-1.
COYR
-
72' | YELLOW CARD
Ryan Inniss is the next to enter the book.
0-1.
COYR
-
We have just moved out of the bottom two.
Tranmere back in front so we are back in the bottom two …… as it stands.
-
Big half hour now. Get the monkey off our backs.
-
We have just moved out of the bottom two.
Tranmere back in front so we are back in the bottom two …… as it stands.
A ha, Tranmere pegged back again so once again we move up a place.
-
Rovers currently just out of the relegation zone!
-
and I'm in danger of getting of a first PvO point
-
76'| Good work from Tom Nixon again to cut inside and beat his man on the right wing but his shot is put over the crossbar.
0-1.
COYR
-
…..as it stands.
Yep
COYR
-
78' | More changes here for both teams...

COYR

81' | Matty Taylor gets in behind for the hosts and tries to find the far corner but his shot is straight across the face of goal.
0-1.
COYR
-
83' | Omotoye takes on a shot at goal from the edge of the box but it's deflected behind.

84' | Goal FGR.
1-1.
85' | More on the goal.
Rovers clear a header off the line from a corner to put behind again but the next finds Jordan Moore-Taylor and nestles in the top right corner.
1-1.
COYR
-
Typical
-
You see it coming a mile off every week so why can't the f*cking manager!
-
Rovers have been asking for that, asking for a late FGR win if they're not careful.
-
Always gonna happen if we just sit back on a lead
-
Time for Marsh to get off the mark then.
-
Lets face up to facts we are shit
-
And we are back on bottom, unless they pull their finger out!
-
Always gonna happen if we just sit back on a lead
Yep we just give up playing. I’m really starting to question Grants tactics here.
-
Going to be a long season, at least were better than last year performance wise, think mcann needs a couple of tramsfer windows to sort it out
-
We are where we are because we simply cannot defend.
-
90' | Another golden opportunity for FGR but Harvey Bunker puts his shot over the bar.
1-1.
COYR
-
90' | ADDITIONAL TIME
There will be a minimum of six added minutes.
1-1.
COYR
-
7 shots to their 18, 4 on target each. Rovers just don't have enough attacking threat to get them into a winning position.
-
Jesus how did they miss that?
-
90+3' | FGR are down to ten men here with Jordan Moore-Taylor forced off through injury.
Meanwhile Luke Molyneux has a shot saved again.
1-1.
COYR
-
7 shots to their 18, 4 on target each. Rovers just don't have enough attacking threat to get them into a winning position.
BBC stats are saying they have had 26 shots.
-

He won't be here to sort it out. Him and Cliff will walk. JMHO.
-
Going to be a long season, at least were better than last year performance wise, think mcann needs a couple of tramsfer windows to sort it out
And if he doesn't sort this bunch out fast then he will be using them transfer windows to look for players for the national league. We should be beating thisnlot with who we have now.
-
90+5' | YELLOW CARD
Tom Anderson receives a late booking.
1-1.
COYR
-
1-2
-
Yessssssssss
-
cross come goal. get out of jail
-
Smash and grab. Will take that.
FGR have been robbed.
-
Yes!!!!
-
90+6' | GOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLL ROVERS!!!!!!!
YESSSSSSS!!!!!! BEN CLOSE!!!!!!
1-2.
90+8' | More on the goal, it's another beauty. Ben Close swings the ball towards the back post and it finds the top right corner!
1-2.
COYR
-
Close
-
Bloody hell they make us work for it don’t they
-
2-1!!!!!!
DRFC!
-
It took a fluke to do it, but we will take anything!
-
Another cracker get innn
-
1-2. As if! Sounds like daylight robbery.
-
How long left?
-
ft
-
Way hey, was it a cracker or was it a fluke.
-
Wtf
-
And tranmere have conceded a 3rd in the 97th
-
FULL TIME | Forest Green 1 Rovers 2
Two absolute beauties from Harrison Biggins and Ben Close, as well as a last minute save from Louis Jones, give Grant McCann's side a first win of the Sky Bet League Two season!
GET IN THERE!
COYR
-
Get in there.
-
Way hey, was it a cracker or was it a fluke.
Not sure we're in a position to be querying the artistic interpretation!
-
We have just moved out of the bottom three.
Games not over yet
COYR
It is now phewwwww
COYR
-
As Victor Meldrew would say "I don't believe it"
-
Wow.wow wow wow
-
Got lucky but we take it
-
Way hey, was it a cracker or was it a fluke.
Fluke.
-
With all the bad luck we have had with deflections, we deserve a bit of luck going for us and finally it arrived!
-
Wow sorry forest green but we have had it done to us plenty.
Hopefully this is the moment that turns this season around
-
Second best for much of the second half, probably just edged it in the first half. But a win is a win and about time.
Onwards and upwards on to Tuesday and the game versus Everton U21’s the home on Saturday.
COYR
-
1-2. As if! Sounds like daylight robbery.
It wasn’t daylight robbery. We stopped playing sat back, and let them back in. It proved if we had carried on as we did first half we would have probably scored more.
That said they had 26 shots. That is simply not good enough from us.
-
Well done
-
Way hey, was it a cracker or was it a fluke.
Let’s just say it was a bit fortunate but Close’s cross was always going to cause their defence a problem. Anyway about time we had a bit of luck
-
Wins a win, we've played well and lost enough this season to know that.
-
Five minutes after the end of the game and bbc final score still showing it as 1-1.
-
xG was 3.38 - 0.55
-
At last; well done Donny!
-
Last min save by Jones a good un?
-

Bbc isn’t calling it a final score - the feed updating their scores isn’t working, it’s the same on sky sports website too.

Great save!

We’ve played far better in the last three games and got 1pt.
FGR were terrible, with more confidence we’d have beat them easily
-
At last! BBC have updated score. Now need to update the table

Can’t beat a ‘Rub o’ the Green!!!

And the only stat that really matters is the goal column, which says we score 2 to their 1
