Yep. We need to start bringing in better quality players, that can perform consistently.
I’m pretty sure we wouldn’t have signed JCH unless we had to as part of his loan deal, and that he wouldn’t have played if Biamou had remained fit.
Good points, well made.
Robins wanted to trim the squad. Probably saves a bit of cash. We’re probably not going up or down (fuck I hope not) this year, so might be worth trying to play some of our wunderkinds in preparation for next season.
Ah right. Yeah, I guess you don’t see that much nowadays. I’m sure I was at a game (palace away?) where Callum davenport did just that. Possibly the same game bothroyd scored a wonder goal...
I can’t fault the premise tbf. I dunno what the owner’s like but the environmental aspect is sound enough. It’s also certainly helped create their own individual identity. I expect on this basis alone they get a little extra support from people curious to try/support the vegan football team...
Ah shame, I thought I’d inadvertently met my first forum member.
At the same time...I couldn’t empathise with that bloke! All decked out in green he was.
From the little I saw of FGR they seemed very well run and their owner seems to be backing them.
Bloody FGR grumble, grumble...bloody...
Bloody FGR!!! Worst away day I’ve had! A mixture of disappointment, a couple of annoying home fans, and some jealousy!
As I think about it I was in the home end and chatting to a bloke from cov who was supporting forest green as they were close to relegation and they were his local team...
I’m sorry if I’m repeating myself but brown and, especially, ogogo are total mysteries to me. How has ogogo become such a poor player seemingly overnight? I haven’t seen much of him but he certainly looked like the player we needed at the start of the season. What’s happened? Has Robins said...
My guess would be the only way to prevent a scenario where they overtake us (maybe they already have) would be if we got back to the prem. would that also make some sort of merger more realistic?
Anyway, it’s all theoretical...we need to have somewhere to play next year yet.
Hmmm...they ain’t going anywhere are they. I did used to think that it makes sense for them to buy us/some sort of merger to take place. I don’t like that idea either. I just want them gone. One of my ‘mates’ goes up to watch them regularly. Smug prick.
On his day he was unstoppable. For us I think that day was against Swindon. Not sure he did anything else. I remember whatever ‘football focus’ was back then - grandstand? Saint and greavsie? - raving about him when he was at QPR.
