Nugent neat and tidy yes but it’s again looking like a game where we may not score

We’re playing well up to a point but we still don’t look like scoring
Passing it around well, all very nice but no substance. Need to be more ruthless in the second half.

An OK half but a lack of cutting edge and we have not really created anything. I think we have to be more adventurous given the circumstances. Nugent is having another decent game.

Forest Green probably had the best chance of the half, but Wagstaff's attempt more like a rugby conversion. The hosts have reverted to type with some niggly play and cynical challenges, they usually beat us when playing like this.

We are not using the width. We need more crosses in the box where Nugent is most dangerous. All too happy to be passing it casually around at the back. We need three points! Come on Rovers!

Eight fouls from our “hosts” and two bookings including one for simulation. Same old FGR.

But no shots on target for either side. Both teams will have to step up a gear in the second half, especially us - unless Bolton run amok.

Both full backs seem reluctant to overlap. It has been a very cautious display.

Stockton scores right on half time so Bolton, Newport and Morecambe all winning. Our real lack of goal threat causing us issues again. Hopefully Lloyd on soon if required and CBT gets more than 5 minutes

Why did not he just put Morris into midfield ? We don't need two defensive midfielders.

Exetet equalise as we concede. Why was Kahn moved to right back which is where their goal came from ?

Otis switched to right back and he misjudged the cross which saw FGR take the lead. We’re paying for an average first half performance

OConnor was doing ok at RB so why it’s been changed I don’t know. We didn’t need Lee in the middle alongside spearing, it just looks like a defensive move playing for a point

Got to make some changes now with Lloyd and CBT to bring some energy.
