    Sincerely hope not. Yet more disruption and chopping and changing is the last thing we need right now.

    Where do I start with this?

    Firstly, you said that when you saw ore-season and training, Anderson looked strong and fit. Now you’re saying you don’t know if he’s fit?

    I get why he would give a run out to Scannell, Paudie and even Akpan, but they should have been the ONLY changes. He wouldn’t have got away with making 8 changes in the Mickey Mouse Cup, so why did he feel the need to experiment in the League Cup?

    The likes of Hornby, French and Wood could have waited until our FL Trophy games. Absolutely no need to make so many changes, especially with sticking Doyle up top on his own...!

    Think he wanted Evans. Fantastic start he’s made at Gillingham having signed 10 players.....

    Evans is a better manager though, His win rate is far better and is a proven manager at this level , Bowyer has done nothing to suggest he is a better manager, He got one lucky season and managed to get in to the play offs and got promoted, Take his 8 game run as temporary manager at Blackburn out of of his statistics and his win record is very poor at around 29/30% compare that with Evans who has a win record of 43% in League football

    Hardly a like for like comparison though when Evans had been in charge of over 900 games and Bowyer less than 250.

    I think promotion failure this season will be a disaster, season ticket sales next season would be sub 10k

    I disagree actually. Think weve bottomed out on numbers this season, thats assuming the prices remain more or less static

    Yeah but those flexis will probably stay with us, if they continue selling them

    You do know he finished 7th over the season and then entered a knockout competition (play-offs) to get promotion????

    Well, before the game many were pleading for 4-4-2. Bowyer seemed set on 4-3-3. I hope he now knows which suits us best.

    The problem we have is that 4-4-2 hasn't worked either. 2 lucky wins seems to be clouding the judgement of our fans.

    If we played today how we did in the first half vs Oldham, Forest Green would have probably gone Into the break 2 or 3 nil up.

    We've played a number of formations this season but have still been below par in all of our games. Surely then the blame lies with the players as opposed to the tactics?

    What sort of player is Cooke? Is he a ball winner or a creator?
