Although I am a traditionalist to a certain degree I do think that 'ties' should have been dumped years ago at all levels...

 

Why should it just be 1 dress code for both sexes. There is a dress code set out by the club for visiting parties 1 for gentlemen and another for ladies . If you went to a wedding would you go if they said your wife (if married) had to wear top hat and tails because that was the dress code for both .
Seeing as it's not the 1st time our clubs boardroom has been voted the best I'd suggest the forest Green ceo was just being awkward for the sake of it just to cause a scene or he just fancied sitting with their fans but needed an excuse.

 

Trust me Bronco the officials were not in the game. A very poor display from them. Nevertheless, they are not the only reason we lost, yes they could have made better decisions and that might have altered what happened. We looked like we had no idea how to break them down, and you are right teams will come here and play just like them, so we might as well not only get used to it, but get a grip and come up with a plan of how WE want to play and what OUR strengths are. Get that ball down and play football and attack them.

 

It depends how you view it. From a neutral view it was an even game, from a management view we were done over like a kipper. Cooper got his tactics bang on and on that basis they were the better side.

 

Not sure everyone does it. Mark Cooper has form for it. Did it ages ago with Swindon. Bad tactics. Players audibly being heard to stay down when they were challenged. Feigning injury then being ok straight away. Lots of dark arts. Needs a strong ref to stamp his mark early on but also needs players to stay calm as it can be frustrating. Get frustrated the opposition has achieved what it set out to do

 

Here is what he would have looked like with a tie....I think

 

I wouldn't bother cleaning your leather shoes @wetherbywhaler can see you getting in with those on....

 

In A block of the Midland Road we saw rather too much of their left back Kitching, who kept fouling Donaldson but it went unpunished until Donaldson was penalised for a non foul on Kitching. He was noticeable.

 

I didn’t particularly note their passing play either, until the run up to the goal where they kept it well for a short while before sticking it past O’Donnell.

 

I knew I has seen @Fordy117 before.

 

Just been waiting to drop this beauty.

 

All teams have so far, except Oldham, and they clearly had no idea what they were doing.

 

Nah, you boys love it down here with us 'pub teams'. Don't you see? You're at home here, with all of us down in league 2. You're at peace now. Embrace your new life!

 

we won’t win football matches without being dominant on the ball and like others have already said that’s arguably 4 out of 5 matches that we’ve been the poorer side.

i can understand bowyer’s reasons for not wanting scannell to play 3 matches in a week and how due to other injuries he had to change the structure of the side but for all richards-everton’s attributes his distribution is woeful. going long to play off the front two isn’t working. the percentages of picking up the second ball in such confined spaces is low - we need to get better in working passages of play to try and break teams down, pull them out of shape and create space to work in. there’s no point in having players like palmer, cooke and devitt if we’re not going to get them on the ball. we need a centre-half that is comfortable bringing the ball in to midfield when teams are going to sit in - i wouldn’t be surprised to see paudie o’connor back next week.

as for FGR’s approach, personally i’ve no issue with a lot of it - we’ve done it before and we’ll do it again, we sh*thoused our way to 3 points on tuesday night at stevenage. it’s something we’re going to need to accept will happen a lot and rise to the challenge of beating it. nothing is going to come for free in this league.

 

Even their ceo thinks he is something special turned away from the boardroom for refusing to wear a tie.

 

Yes but it’s still bad manners. it’s him acting like he’s above and special. What harm would it be for him to put one on. It was all a show for him. I do believe in some of what he’s about but he comes across as some kind of green modern age Bond villain

 

I thought that their defender No.6 Rawson Farrend played well. Solid and used the ball well.
