Jeez they really are doing business this transfer window, must have bought a whole new team, is that wise..

Gonna drive up and pay on the gate

Is it pay on the gate or do you have to be a member to buy a ticket?

 

[Johhny Blue]

we can't. They're all six pointers. We won't win them all but 9 from 18 will see us out of the play offs.

If we could win some of the 6 pointers we could break 100 points

 

[Johhny Blue]

One eye on their game tonight. You sort of hope the get smashed, but then we could do with Exeter dropping points.

Tough one. Maybe a draw.

and a bunch of Red cards

 

[itsabuzzard]

I'm going to stuff my face at this one.

I hope we do them in revenge for their smash and grab at the Ricoh. Burge needs to change his Toblerone boots.

What the fuck are Toblerone boots? Is this a reference to the fact that he can't kick straight to save himself?

OFFICIALS: Referee Watch Versus Forest Green Rovers

Same ref who completely missed Biamou get stamped on clearly a couple of times.

Weather forecast looks shocking. Typical!

 

[Warwickhunt]

We need to grind out a 1-0 win and it’s not going to be pretty this one is it!

just looked on BBC weather, looks like it's going to be very wet. Good job we're not on an uncovered terrace.

 

[Liquid Gold]

My Vegan burger is going to get soggy!

Love the shirt !!

10 new players in transfer window

10 new players in transfer window

Really? Wow! Strikes of desperation. How many did they let go?

 

[Otis]

Could be we are playing them at the right time. When you have a very much changed side it can take time to gel.

 

[Macca]

What's with the lack of proper grub?

 

[Otis]

What's with the lack of proper grub?

Owner's a vegan I believe. Wants a very ethical club from top to bottom.

I'm a veggie, but I still think he could do something like organic, free range chicken etc. Could still have the menu heavily lopsided in favour of vegan dishes, so just a small compromise.

8 loan players cannot play them all so not the wisest move they have done

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

2 nil win to Cov

 

[Nick]

Will be interesting to see what he does up front. Can see him starting with Biamou / McNulty and bringing JCH on with about half hour to go.

If Willis is fit, can see him coming back in alongside Davies.

If it’s not broke and all that. JCH needs to earn his place

FG forum predictions so far, very nice of him with the below wording:

Undoubtedly Coventry are the biggest club in Division 2 and are poised to return to what they consider their rightful place above and away from lower league.
A few weeks ago they took 2,000 more fans than their average crowd to an away FA Cup match at MK Dons, where they hugely outnumbered the home crowd.
They have bought out all the away tickets at TNL, so we can expect a fantastic atmosphere during game. They should enjoy watching game close to pitch, and not yards away behind barriers at the Ricoh.
However their barriers did not stop one home fan from remonstrating with their captain during play at FGR’s first visit to Ricoh Stadium.
That incursion and defeat by what they consider a village team should be a massive incentive for Coventry to go out and win game.
Sadly I think they will: FGR 0-1 Coventry

FGR 2 Cov 3

Hoping for a comfortable win and maybe a sign we have turned the corner against the poorer sides in the division, but it is City, be happy with a point but no doubt three would be better.
City by 2 goals 3-1

Agree.

Thought McDonald didn't have a good game on Tuesday and was bullied a bit. Davies however was magnificent.

Biamou now can run himself into the ground for 65mins and then we can introduce JCH. He seems the type who can do a bit of bullying himself.

 

[Mcbean]

Well he did have that tub of lard to monitor !!!

where are the pubs for this one?

Yep I agree

 

[pusbccfc]

Not looking forward to this one, like any away game where the away end has no roof.

Completely ruins the atmosphere.

 

[Esoterica]

Important to follow on from the MK away win and sort out the away league form. Not sure if it's been spotted yet but with the Luton postponement and the Wycombe rearranged date we've got 4 consecutive away matches coming up:

Colchester United: A Tue Feb 13 2018 19:45
Brighton and Hove Albion: A Sat Feb 17 2018 15:00
Mansfield Town: A Sat Feb 24 2018 15:00
Wycombe Wanderers: A Tue Feb 27 2018 19:45

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Burge

Grimmer
Davies
Willis
Stokes

Barrett
Doyle
Bayliss
Shipley

Biamou
McNulty

Bench: O'Brien, McDonald, Haynes, Dev Kelly-Evans, Maguire-Drew, Kelly, Clarke-Harris

Going for an optimistic 3-0 win

Score first and it will open them up but I think they will park the bus and try and get something from set plays.

Park the bus? This is Forest Green, so sure to be some sort of eco bicycle.
