Lolos looks better up front his control is good but when he's in midfield he takes extra touches and gets robbed too easily but up front defenders are less likely to jump in he is brave and he can shoot with either foot.
Although I think he is an excellent player he does seem to have more of an impact from the bench. Gordon was superb when he came on...why is Nick playing there when he's so much better on the left? Glad we're going into Tuesday with a win under our belts...you reds!
Solid defensive performance which was good but if they had made their final passes when through we may have seen a different result. MOM for me was Gordon but maybe not on long enough for some to justify that but he he was electrifying and makes me wonder why we waste Nick on the right when he is second best there. On to Tuesday
No Olagunju in the Squad. He's probably had enough, dont blame him! No Mcguire in the Squad, about time! No Lolos starting, not surprised - Scott has never played him in the correct position yet!
Hope we get the win, but cant see it! Cmon you Reds!
You think Olagunju has had enough🤦‍♂️🙄 And what position is that for Lolos - centre back?🤣
Good result, average performance. We’ll play better and lose. FGR didn’t provide much threat, but we did well to keep them at bay and we kept plugging away trying to score the second goal in the second half which was pleasing to see as so many times in recent seasons we have sat back at home in the second half and let the opposition back into the game. Result stops a bad run of form.
No Raf Khaleel on the bench, he’s normally in there, may be an injury or just SL’s decision to drop from match squad
Khaleel has really been underused by Scott this year and don't know why (only had 66 minutes of league action). When he was given a 2 year contract in summer, Scott praised him highly, but has hardly used him. Could have benefited with being loaned out to National League team earlier this season to get game time, but that opportunity has gone now.
It was a good win but can’t help but think if forest green were a better side we would have lost that. Kept giving the ball away too many times and too many backwards passes again.
You can only beat what's in front of you !!
I'm so pleased to have taken three points from that horrible lot. Thank you Scott Lindsey and the Boys !!
Could be! Apart from one or two moments, I think that it’s fair to say that I didn’t really notice the ref yesterday. And that is exactly how it should be.
I usually read rather than post, but felt compelled as no one has mentioned the Lolos overhead attempt! He may have scuffed it but got me off my seat for a moment 🤣
Not seen a worse team in this league than that FGR side. Feel our performance was just about safely doing enough to win.
Great we got the win we needed but we still like to keep passing back and then pratting about with it back and forward across the defence. Several times the new boy Kelly was free and looking for a pass so he could get down the wing but what did we do pass it across the midfield or defence. No one was looking for an attaching pass just a lets get the stats up pass. There were times when it got very boring watching it keep going back and as for playing our wingers out of position yes it was worth trying but now change back because it is clearly not working. I just hope Tuesday night we play to our strength's with players playing in their best and most effective positions and that we look for forward attacking passes.

good to have your input. Yeah we dont see that often at matches and shows he is playing with confidence.

If I was SL i would get the analyst to go through every match and readjust stats where we pass sideways and backwards to bump the stat up. That would soon sort this out.
Yes, it's the wrong game. Forward passes are allowed in this one. Okay, sometimes it's necessary to go backwards in order to open up the opposite flank for a pass, but we seem go back just for devilment.
I agree sometimes its necessary to either pass back or across the line but we tend to do it too much and its getting very boring and will not encourage new supporters to keep coming.
In my opinion what may hinder some of the “forward passes” mentioned is playing only one up front as let’s be honest Orsi isn’t a target man is he, he’s a box poacher, not someone who’s holds it up, or flicks it on or even creates his own goals out of nothing, he is a penalty area poacher, with Saturdays first goal his trademark. That’s not me knocking him by the way, his goal return is good, but with only one up front playing forwards is possibly not that easy unless more bodies are in forward attacking positions quicker
