No, based on their movement and ability to hold onto the ball. To be fair they don't have anyone as good as JJ though.
Based on a midfielder scoring a goal from a nothing shot and our keeper having a howler?
I must have missed their striker masterclassNo, based on their movement and ability to hold onto the ball. To be fair they don't have anyone as good as JJ though.
It was winding me right up. Every single time they got the ball they cut inside to have a shot from distance to just have it blocked. The only time we came remotely close to scoring was when we put crosses into the box. A blind man could see how much they struggled defensively in the air. Yet our wingers constantly cut in for pointless shots and the tallest man in our squad sat on the bench watching the whole thing!People raving about Jones and Nazon tonight, should just shoot whenever and whereever without a worry of how shit it is or how many players there are around you and he will fit in fine.

I'm not saying I want us to play hoof ball every week but FGR clearly struggle against big, direct teams. So why didn't we play to their weakness rather than our strengths? We should of had Biamou and/or Vincenti up front of a 442 with Jones and Nazon just firing in crosses.

Our forwards are not good enough, Nazon is the only one who has shown something, so I can’t see it improving much.2 questions:
Do you think this squad could be performing better than it is?
Do you think this team should be performing better than it is?
Biggest mistake was not getting James Collins in, sign him and we've automatically got 20 goals plus, not signing him was huge
There must be some ex prem or championship goalkeepers knocking about that could do a job. An experienced keeper is what we need.Trust me, oggy knows the keepers are very limited, but the money has been spent elsewhere in the squad.
All oggy can do is try and polish a turd!
Maybe he should start playing players in their best positions and stop playing 2 fuckin defensive midsWell if you want to look for any positives, it has to be that Robins will surely shake it up for Saturday and make a number of changes to the team.
Think Beavon might well come back in and possibly Haynes will get chosen too. There's also Vincenti.
We need quality from both flanks to create for the forwards. Definitely needs a shake up and fresh approach.
Yes...that'll probably be the best one(s) again. Hasn't worked before so don't expect it to again!So then in January you sell someone.
Well our best ones last year in the window were Stevenson and Willis, so I can't say I would be losing any sleep if it was either of them this time round.Yes...that'll probably be the best one(s) again. Hasn't worked before so don't expect it to again!

Good...we might stop losing 0-1I've seen two, 2 x 1 nil home defeats ! I thought we were actually better tonight than against Newport but still won't be rushing back, sorry !
That's what has annoyed me all season. If we were playing Luton away and went with 2 defensive midfielders, i'd say fair enough, they've scored 3 or more goals on 5 occasions now this season, let's respect that. But it doesn't matter who we've played, what form they are in, what their strengths or weaknesses are, we just do the same shit every week. We don't even make changes during the games when it's clear it's not working. As I said on another thread, that old definition of Insanity - doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is very true for us. Dunno how much Robins was affected by losing his assistant but he's looked lost for weeks now when it comes to getting results against poor quality but organised defensive teams.It was winding me right up. Every single time they got the ball they cut inside to have a shot from distance to just have it blocked. The only time we came remotely close to scoring was when we put crosses into the box.

I do get why people feel this and i know mine's not a popular view because we're not scoring and the obvious place to point at it is the strikers, but I think they will look much better with a central midfield actually in the same half as them. Our set up is so limiting, no natural width, no central or attacking midfield and 2 wide players that cut inside every time - it forces our attacking play against the defensive teams (of which we have faced many this season now) into a thin cluttered strip across the top of the oppo's box.Our forwards are not good enough, Nazon is the only one who has shown something, so I can’t see it improving much.
See I remember losing to the likes of Sutton Utd when we were cup holders...we had a much stronger team back then too.I am totally embarrassed tonight. I can take accrington away (just) as we were away and they are a solid league 2 outfit but losing at home to forest green rovers 1-0 I can honestly say I thought I would never see the day.
I'm totally and utterly embarrassed.
But who have we got that is performing in a manner that suggests anyone would want to pay any significant amount for in order for us to strengthen the squad?Well our best ones last year in the window were Stevenson and Willis, so I can't say I would be losing any sleep if it was either of them this time round.

Didn't go to the game - but supposed independent match report on the BBC suggests we dominated after going 1 down. The stats suggest so too...60% possession, 22 shots...sadly only 6 on target - which add that to Saturday, Barnet & Crewe means we have had 18 shots on tgt but converted only 1. That will not be going unnoticed by other teams now...they will be less cautious in defence, more ambitious attacking. So until we get someone hitting the back of the net, we had better start & get used to this!

In that case, the word you want is "complement"We need to be top 7 or thereabouts come January. Then at that point Robins has to strengthen.
We need another wide player to compliment Jones as a priority (and no, I don't mean someone walking past him and saying 'nice moustache!')
Do you think we have a worse squad / set of players / budget than Forest Green? At what point can managers be blamed for playing 2 defensive midfielders while we are chasing a game at 1-0 down?

We thought he would shake it up at half time, We thought he would shake it up at half time but he didnt.
Mate, at what point after 8/9 years of solid decline with a variety of managers and budgets and players and stadia and number of fans, do you realise that changing manager won’t do shit?
You can talk about budget or whatever, but the long and the short of it is that, as a club, we have been massively underachieving for almost a straight decade.
Sack Robins, bring in X, wait a year, have this exact same conversation. At some point you’ve got to realise the issues are endemic and not about to be solved by bringing in yet another manager.
Don’t get me wrong, Robins has questions to answer. But at this point complaining about formations is rearranging deck chairs on the titanic.
