I thought we looked poor yesterday and didn't deserve the points, although it was strange that we had enough good chances to win the game... FGR looked better than us I thought sadly, Parkin looked a class act. Coles and the other centre back were decent and the left back kelly looked good. Stu Sinclairs brother also controlled the midfield and that Guthrie who was orchestrating all the time wasting at the end knew what he was doing. Having said that though, we could and should have taken the chances to win the game. The positive to take must be that although as a team and individually we didn't play well we still created decent chances. Spot on! My thoughts exactly...

Although we weren't at our best yesterday once the limping Monkhouse was replaced I can't recall Mildenhall having a save to make.
This is thread is typical of fans overreaction to a defeat, if we'd equalised yesterday fans would still be saying a Play Off spot was still likely.
If we can find somebody to put the ball in the net then we could walk this league.
A 7,000 gate yesterday must be a 1,000 more than TW budgeted for, that's £10/15K a match extra, surely there's enough spare cash to now attract a decent goalscorer at this level?

We were poor for the first 30 mins but after that we were the better side and could have easily won the game. That being said, football can be like that and hopefully we can learn from it and move on. We are in a strong position yet can still play much better, the over reaction to the result is embarrassing.

We should still be beating these sides no argument sorry it a just my opinion, our support deserves better, Most teams struggle to get couple thousand through the gates where we had 7 yesterday. It's been a decent start, where not out of it at all but want us to desperately to kick on.

We were playing another Conference club, who were in good form, and are likely to have a bigger budget than we do. Fan base does not come into it. Its not even comparable to the Braintree/Altringham defeats.

strange and very frustrating match, we weren't very good, but if only we had one half decent attacking player we'd have won about 5-1. what's even stranger is that this league is so poor we'll probably still be up and around the play-offs come the end of the season despite this.

Every team seen at the mem have been rubbish in the attacking dept,some have played half decent football but have been as lacklustre as us regarding making and taking chances (some a lot worse,Telford omg!) it seems to me that any of the top 15 sides in the table could still get involved in the play-off race and while were clearly not world beaters the others with ambitions of going up are bog standard s**te.We don't need to be outstanding to get out of this league,steering clear of injuries and bringing in 2 or 3 quality players for this level will give us as good if not better chance than all our rivals.

Tell me what is the difference between an ex jailbird being a plumber,decorator or footballer.They have done their time paid for their crime and have the right to pursue their chosen profession. Whether he should have been applauded is a moot point,but we needed someone in the first half with a bit of the aggression he showed when he played for us. The comments i got from an ex director,not GD,was the display lacked courage,skill and the will to win.There are players in the side who are not even up to conference standard and 9 game unbeaten run just paoered over the cracks,after all we struggled against Dartford,Dover,Southport,Altrincham to name but a few and 20 goals,including 2 penalties,in 17 games tells the full story.I have recommended a number of potential striking signings to the club with the usual response,apart from MS saying the striking 2 are playing well and dont need any others I don't think many plumbers decorators etc play in front of thousands of fans? Role models in football are sadly few and far between - we have enough footballers who are precisely not that without ex prisoners? As for Pipe I am sure he appeals to the 'lads' in the crowd but for me he was more about aggression than skill on the pitch

Lee Brown has posted something on Facebook that sums up perfectly the embarrassing reaction of the majority to yesterdays defeat. A senior player feeling like this points to a dressing room that is being torn apart by the baying mob outside who have this ridiculous mindset that we should be winning every game and if we don't then DC and the squad should be beaten with a stick. How do people expect the players to pick themselves up and go on another run when the previous one has been met with such disgust. Baying mob? People are disappointed that we didn't win because we were the better side and wasted chances, if players don't like that then football isn't really for them. We kinda should be winning every game, especially at home. Were they booed off yesterday? The problem is that it has gone way beyond just being disappointed. I felt disappointed on my way home yesterday but didn't feel the need to scream abuse at players or come on here with thread titles like 'disgraceful', people are making themselves look silly and need to realise we are having the best start to a season in the last 10 plus years. This league has at least 10 teams who are league 2 standard and at least half a dozen of them have good budgets so to say we should be winning every home game is crazy.

If it's who I think it is then he is holding out for a Kings ransom and that's surely not the way for us to go. Ask Cheltenham nicely to lend us Terry Gornell for a few months or how about Wellings Mr Beautyman - great name and banging them in.

When you have McCormick back at Plymouth (now as Captain!) & Hughes allowed to play for Notts C in the past, I can't understand the media attention being given to Evans as it's obvious the FA, and football fans generally, won't stand in his way to returning to league football.

Screaming and shouting after the first loss in 10 seems a bit OTT, but I guess thats what happens when a fanbase has put up with total misery for a year or so. I do understand the disappointment yesterday though, some days you get played off the park but yesterday wasn't one of those. FGR have a lot of money but they didn't outplay Rovers yesterday so we should have won. Nobody has outplayed us at the Mem yet. I think with the personnel we have, plus either a new striker or White starting, we can win every game at home.

I thought we played ok once they took the lead. However you have to take your chances and we missed 6 very good opportunities which is unacceptable. FGR were a horrid side, the Oxford or Northampton of the Conference, time wasted as soon as they scored and dropped to the floor, pushed, shoved, cheated all afternoon. Horrid expensive journeymen in the main!
We need a striker, our front 4 are rather lightweight and really missed Sinclair and Lockyer who although not really a FB is streets ahead of young Leadbitter who just can't defend.
Although we are top 6 and unbeaten in 9 before yesterday we are rather ordinary in an ordinary league. Only Barnet are putting real consistency together although we are not far behind them but with the current squad catching them will be difficult.
Some investment in a bit of real quality like Barnet picked up with Lee Cook would be very worthwhile.

I agree that they didn't outplay us, unfortunately it was one of those frustrating days it wasn't meant to be. If we would have been thrashed 4-0 like we were at Hartlepool last season with players who couldn't care less on crazy wages then i would be the first to say what a disgraceful performance. The key thing is to get another run going and keep around the top 8 chasing pack, i never in a million years expected us to be champions this season, we just have to keep ticking along and make sure we are within touching distance of the play offs come January and hope Box 1 show some ambition in the market to give us the best chance of doing the unthinkable and going straight back up.

Howe er if i was looking at hiring a plumber and knew they had killed someone drink driving and drove away., or battered someone with a bottle at something a clock in the moring, i would think twice about hiring them. Maybe that is wrong of they have done their time. Some people deserve a second chance, but that is a price you have to pay for making a big mistake. When it comes to football and you see people like Pipe, Hughes, Coles and Rodgers continually act like bellends on the pitch, you form an impression of them that is less than favourable

Disgraceful was the title for yesterdays match BASED on as I put in the first paragraph - Corners going almost straight out the other side,back four that if they get any deeper they will be either in the Blackthorn or the other end and a midfield that stand around just in front of our defenders waiting for the short ball that never comes then please don't get me going on the strikers.Well i can only report back how I saw the game and the only positive I can make is that we should have won but the overall performance was disgraceful. What on earth do we do in training? To be truthful Forest Green were bloody awful both in terms of ability and football but have to say on todays performance Daryl Clarke must seriously look at the football he is promoting. If it isnt him promoting the long ball then perhaps he should have deep discussions with his players !!
We still should have won and I am not criticising the players attitude and effort but the football was pretty dismal and IMO it is disgraceful to play football the way we played yesterday ie hoofball when we have only two players up field. It is not even a reaction to losing but just the way the players were directed to play yesterday. Ok some may think we played quite well, this is just a personal opinion of the game as I saw it based on what I like to watch and IMO yesterday the level of football played by us was not even a touch on the better performances of last season and closer to the worst.

We will be there or thereabouts at the end of the season, now if only we could find a decent attcker from somewhere and/or somehow get more out of the ones we have

I have to say, we looked better on our highlights package than I thought we were. Those chances were sitters and any of them taken would have seen everyone happy with a point or three.
But in between those highlights, we were not very good at all. Football is lacking and has been all season. When was the last time we absolutely destroyed someone and you came away easy? Even during a 9 game unbeaten run there was never that belief we were flying.
Long ball doesn't have to be bad and on 2 occasions we played great crossfield switch balls which put us on the front foot. Unfortunately Taylor was on the end of hand important one.
We said in the pub before the game watching Rovers is like watching England. Never do things easy, and even when we win it's expected so nobody wins.
