Disagree.

There’s been one cross in from their right. Went to the back stick and ling turned it around for the corner, despite having no one near him. It’s just that the commentator deliberately made a big deal out of slamming Brophy for it.
They've only gone down that side the once, focusing mostly on the weak spot Ling. Brophy didn't cover himself in glory letting the ball come in. He plays LB like a winger, we need both fullbacks replaced and get Brophy upfield.

I do think there's a goal in it for us, Wilkinson most likely but question is whether we'll away with not conceding another.

FGR keeper saves a header from Happe, close.

Cissé and Clay need to be nibbling his ankles from here on in, get him that second booking provoke a reaction #darkarts
I'd prefer our midfielders to focus on trying to get us back into the game.

Does anyone know what our stats are like in coming from behind to win this season?

Yeah, but how was it scored? Only just in and will be putting the commentary on for the second half.

Yet again we are struggling with the formation we are using. Embleton needs to be brave and try 442 and play players in their right position

Reasonable performance so far imo, score could easily be the other way round. Akinola and Happes distribution is getting us into some decent positions out wide, think we could do with some proper wingers out there to make more of that.

Don't normally add my 2 pennies worth, but what the he'll is Ling doing on the pitch let alone being at the club.
He offers nothing in defence and aims to get rid of the ball ASAP. Please do everyone a favour, go now

No chance, the manager would have to change his whole philosophy

Spot on from Glenn Wilkie at HT, looks like he's been let off the script this week. We need to start playing dirty.

The Wilkinson one was the biggie, take the liability out of the side and it was an even game.

They seem to be knocking it around without too many problems.

The problem isn’t the pitch, it’s playing 10 v 11 again.

When I was 30 years old I could have played in Lings position today and done a better job. I don’t care if I get pelters for saying that. He hasn’t crossed the half way line. Every pass has been short and either sideways or backwards and he had been roasted at least twice. Adams showing us what we missed again. Angol a waste of a shirt. I forgot clay was playing. We won’t be able to buy Akinola. Too good for league two.

But they had a guy on the line behind the keeper … good discipline.

I'm expecting a sh!t-storm in the second half.

Forest Green played on Tuesday, but it still looks like they have more energy than us.
