Forest Green v Rovers - Play Off 2

[drwhoman]

I see that the winner will play Newport. They have done well considering they almost fell into the NL recently..

Going to miss this one now due to illness, first game I have missed home or away this season. Gutted. Oh well, Sky Sports it is then.......

 

[Boz]

That’s a shame RLC. Hope you’re quickly on the mend.

Best rest and make sure you are fit for the final.

Hopefully I will be doing my best Lazarus impression !

 

[White Squaddie]

Get well soon RLC....

I'm going so I'll send an update once I get home, providing I'm still in good spirits!!!

 

[Ian]

We want focus like they had last year at Wembley. I remember watching Norwood interviewed before the final and I just remember him being completely focused and having the mentality to win at all costs.

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

It is four years to the day since Norwood signed for us, so hopefully there is some kind of omen there. I agree that in the 2017 final we got too wrapped up in the occasion, in addition to the injuries, and hopefully that won't happen tonight.

 

[Ian]

Didn't help at the time but I think that 2017 final really helped the players as they were gutted afterwards and didn't want to taste defeat again. I dont think they would have had the same desire and hunger to win last year against those odds.

Hope you're feeling better soon RLC, have another Tequila.

 

[Boz]

If it goes to penalties, wonder who’ll take them. Norwood, CJ and Buxton, if on the pitch, but don’t know who of the other likely starters would be any good and Norwood’s record is patchy.

 

[Sparky]

I guess Dagnall might take a penalty and or Mullin if available given they are strikers.

As I’ve said previously I just hope our players like Harris and Nors keep their discipline.the home crowd and their players will be on the ref for any minor offence. Plus they’ll be trying to wind us up. Cooper has said they’ll be going for it so just hope we can keep it tight early doors and weather the storm

I would not fancy us on penalties to be honest. FGR have got quite a few technical players, plus home advantage.

We need to replicate our battling performances at Newport and Lincoln, although the circumstances are quite different to those games, with FGR certain to come at us from the first minute. On the positive side, we have only conceded three goals in our last seven away games, if you exclude the 'reserve match' at Crawley.

Apparently, on the last nine occasions a League Two team has taken a lead into the second leg of the play offs, the side going into the game with an advantage has gone to Wembley. Make of that what you will.....

 

[Ian]

If we can go in at half time without conceding, I'll be very happy.

Reckons are there to be broken, just like Newport’s which is something like 12 unbeaten at Wembley or in the playoffs isn’t it?

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

I hope the one I mentioned is not broken, because it actually favours us.

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

I think the first goal could be crucial, but I'd be happy if there were just no goals.
