Match Thread Away vs Forest Green Sept 19th

A test of character, even this early. FGR are the epitome of a solid, unspectacular but effective L2 side.

I don't think there'll be much in it, but I expect a defeat, simply because I don't think we'll do the basics well enough defensively, and I don't trust either Novak or Guthrie to put away the 1-2 chances we'll create.

 

Love what their owner is trying to do there but bloody hate the way cooper makes them play.
Guys and gals, do you remember FGR @ home last season, pure gamesmanship and time wasting and i'd left the ground at 90 mins and the buggers snuck in a late winner.
Return the favour this sat City.
If you can.

 

Worked though, didn't it? Like it or not, we need a bit more of that - i.e. the ability to defend well, do the basics, clear your lines, deal with set pieces well.

 

Called "winning ugly"
I will take winning every game till the season ends winning ugly

 

Well, City have plenty of ugly players but the winning part has been knocked out of them, if they even had it in them originally.

 

I don't feel it is worth the £10 or the effort to watch the game on Saturday. I was late home from work last night so I saved myself £10 and last night has not inspired me to pay for the weekend. I hope I am wrong. FGR 1 - BCAFC 0.

 

I think a draw is possible providing we get
the right kind of reaction to Lincoln game.

Last season I wouldn't give us a hope against
them but playing them early might help.
Both beaten Bolton away so our result last
night will give them more hope.Concede early
and it will be very difficult.

 

Forest Green have been confirmed by the EFL to allow 1000 fans in for this game

 

1000 home fans being allowed into this one.

 

Only sold 400 season tickets according to Parker.

 

Price is correct. Need a season ticket to go. Still for sale...

 

I just can’t see us scoring so the best we can hope for is 0-0. We don’t have the most creative team so the chances we make (typically 2-3 decent chances in a game) need to be taken. Sadly I don’t think any of our strikers are clinical enough to convert them.

 

Is it fair that this weekend some clubs are allowed to be backed by some of their fans for a home game, whilst most others have to play in an empty stadium?

 

Instructions are you cant sing shout or raise your voice. Clapping is allowed though. 400 happy clappers should be enough to scare our players into submission.

 

Presume the Forest Green fans are practising to whisper their goal celebrations for this Saturday then. If not, do they all get ejected from the ground if cheering loudly?

 

They are all learning sign language to get around the problem.

 

If we were allowed fans in it would be interesting to see how they would select 1,000 fans from the 8,000 who have bought tickets this season, this forum would be in meltdown.
