Why oh why?

Whats our excuse this week?

............worst defence in the top half of the Conference!

Not to worry, at this rate we are well on course for bottom half obscurity!

Sick as a Parrot!

Oh redskin how can you comment without going i did this for the game against oldham heres to waving goodbye to your karma not from me but from others!!!!

Redskin · 04-12-2004, 17:57

Maybe I can see the writing on the wall, having removed my rose tinted glass!

No doubt I'll get grief, but here's to Free Speech!

Very disappointing result today. If the team have any aspirations of finishing in a decent position this season (not even a play-off spot), then they would have to be winning games like this.

Looking at the stats for the game, it looks as though we gave it a decent go.

Possession:
Forest Green 49%
Accrington Stanley 51%
Shots:
Forest Green 2
Accrington Stanley 12
Fouls:
Forest Green 3
Accrington Stanley 6
Bookings:
Forest Green 0
Accrington Stanley 1

We originally had problems with just our defence, but recently we've had more problems scoring goals (Northwich apart).

When people who went to the game get back, it'll be interesting to hear their views.

I'll be interested to know whether we played with one or two up front

accystankev · 04-12-2004, 19:52

I was listening to radio lancashire and it said that we played with just miullin upfront at least in 1st half and it sounded like we were unlucky and were on top all the way through the game

THE PEEL PARK GHOST · 04-12-2004, 20:08

Doe's it really matter if we had more shots on target etc etc etc, think we all know the manager should play 4-4-2, simple as that. Should not be losing to a bottom three side. I am a Coley fan and a half but surely it would help Mullers with Evil up there knocking seven bells out of the opposition defence!!!! Must do better than this.

Outback Ozzy · 04-12-2004, 22:23

from what Iheard on Radio Lancs, went 4-3-3 second half with Mullin, Craney and Johnathon Smith up front replaced of all people Evil. Surely though we should have started with 4-3-3 in a game like this. It just seems like we lack ambition at bottom 3 sides grounds.

Redskin · 04-12-2004, 22:45

Smithy up front!...........I'm glad I don't understand that one

simon · 04-12-2004, 22:48

He nearly stole a point in the dying minutes, Just one of many frustrating saved/missed chances

Redskin · 04-12-2004, 22:52

Don't get me wrong, I think the lad is a modern-day hero......but did he really replace Evil, why?......what on earth happened??

simon · 04-12-2004, 22:57

Evil had two men on him any time he looked like getting near the ball.....

Trust me we deserved 3 points today but...............it just would not go in the net

Not a classy show but we were well on top.......... except goals.......

Outback Ozzy · 05-12-2004, 11:54

Redskin, I didn't mean to say Smithy replaced Evil, he was just one of the subs brought on along with Cooky and someone else possibly Craney and evil was one of the men replaced by these three. Sorry for the misunderstanding in original post.

For those that can, take a look at the highlights on conferencefootball.tv - tells the whole story pretty much. We were all over em. A few sitters missed, crossbar and post hit, clearance off the line ... list goes on. Their keeper, Williams also had, what seemed to me from the highlights, an absolute blinder. They get one chance and they take it. Simple as. I couldnt believe how many times FGR gave the ball away. Annoying but true.
