Match Day Thread versus Forest Green Rovers

This has to be the first league meeting with this outfit and to be honest I can't remember ever playing them before. This is the team that is both green in name and allegedly green in all other respects as well. Clearly not that green at football though given they have risen quite fast in the leagues. Are we to be out greened by another team though? Surely not as there can only be one real green outfit and we have been around a million years longer. So, after Tuesday which shall remain in the history corner, we need to put this lot in their rightful place. This is a chance to set up a 100% record against somebody so lets not blow it. I mean they don't even sell proper pasties for god sake.

We played them in Div Two...2019/20 season.

16th Nov...2019...at home...won 1-0.

4th Apr...2020...away.....cancelled because of Covid lock down.

 

All the more reason to maintain the 100% record then. No wonder I didn't remember it that season was a load of proverbial. We are still greener.

 

Cooper
Lonwijk
Scarr
Galloway
Edwards
Randell
Butcher
Mumba
Azaz
Mayor
Ennis

 

Hmm no Houghton again and Ennis preferred to Hardie.

 

One up. Azaz assisted by Mumba.

 

Two up. Mumba. Having a stormer so far.

 

Azaz assist Mumba
Mumba assist Azaz

 

It's only fair.

 

Didn’t notice Galloway is in for Gillesphy. That’s good news for me.

Also, the goal time trophy has been awarded.

 

Three up - Ennis

 

Schumacher has been feeding them raw red meat, which is an option FGR don’t have.

 

Selection of Ennis has paid off. A goal from open play which has eluded Ryan Hardie, excellent as he is.

 

How does Bali Mumba manage to get booked in the 84th minute and have to be subbed off when 3-0 up?

 

Great result and we need to keep that going. Having said that, not a lot of possession but I can live with that if we win 3-0 every week.

So pleased to see Brendan Galloway get 90 minutes. He’ll make a difference.

 

Worryingly, possible injuries to Niall Ennis and Danny Mayor.

 

Back from Broadstairs....no perishing signal near the beach so unable to follow match.....good result...complaints elsewhere that FGR are a poor team....but their results are not that bad.

What is poor is their attendance figures.....Argyle were 36% of the crowd

 

Complaints elsewhere........so what's new in Argyle World. Some of the supposed supporters are never happy whatever Argyle do so it isn't a shock is it. Comprehensive win away from home and a clean sheet. How can anyone complain about that. I was surprised when I saw the crowd size also. You cannot survive in the football league for long with that size attendance unless the owner is bunging thousands into their coffers.

 

Can we now call ourselves Forest Green's bogey side as we have never lost to them?
