Solid performance last night, thought we looked a bit more creative once Ferry came on, Troy looks like a decent player as he did as the game went on against WSM. Thought Roberts was a bit off the pace in the 1st half, not sure if anyone else noticed but he seemed more interested in repairing a divot in the grass that he caused rather than chase a ball that he really could have won? Saying that i thought he looked much better 2nd half. Williams looks decent, possibly what we were missing last season.
Forest Greens number 15 was a great defender, dealt admirably with what we threw at him, I would imagine they will do well to keep hold of him.
Have to say arriving in Nailsworth (after coming down some mountain), i wondered where they would actually fit a football club. The ground was nice enough, very much a family type atmosphere, but the food and beverages on offer was absolute shit. We had a choice of water and chips, eventually they ran out of bottled water and were filling up cups of it from the tap, after a bit of encouragement they produced a kettle and the world was a better place, despite the lack of Bovril
Apparently 713 Town fans made the trip last night, it looked nearer 1000-1200 through my rose tinted specs, FGR fans numbered around 500 ish. Not sure if i was alone on this but there was no 3G coverage whatsoever, which kind of seemed consistent with the area in general.
All in all a good evening out, good performance and on the FGR Forum one chap said it was the 'best away performance he had ever seen at their ground', although considering the away teams at FGR normally consist of such footballing powerhouses such as Histon and Tamworth, i wont read too much in to that.
Very encouraging, cant wait for the long trek to Hartlepool, 8/10
