Pre-Match Thread Forest Green Rovers v Southend United, Wednesday 21st May, 19:45ko, play off semi final

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

Parillon started in the match in March.

Didn’t he give the ball away for their first goal?

Back 3 needs to be the same

Taylor Goodlife Ralph

GSM and Bridge are the only option we really have at Wingback so I'd keep them the same from the start, both caused FGR problems at their ground. Plus we have Leon to come on and be an impact

KAF Husin Coker in the middle again

The only change I'd make is Walker for Bonne or Kendall

Bonne has done such a great job off of the bench in recent weeks, so my reluctance to start him is me gambling on the promise of another stellar performance off of the bench

 

[Up the Villa]

Last time we played forest Green Bonne and hopper started kendall came on and set up gus against a tired backline. Leon never got on i think.

I would change one of noor or Coker for miley.

Walker will cause problems with his pace to tire for rest to make strong impact

Leon got the assist for the first goal

Yep, although he was a long way from our goal when he did it. Here's the highlights:

Let’s go again shrimpers fantastic support by the fans safe journey to all travelling come on you blues

 

[leeblue]

I'd pick parillon over Coker every time
I'd pick kendall/bonne over walker every time.
Simple really.

 

[Shrimp and two veg]

Time for a fresh Morton?

 

[Big_Nath]

Ryan Inniss red card anyone?

 

[Uncle_Rons_Teapot]

Only change I'd make is Bonne for Hopper and Kendall for Walker

Team talk for Wednesday...

Boring Wood will be in the NL next season. You know what you need to do lads.

 

[Fitz]

Yep, although he was a long way from our goal when he did it. Here's the highlights:

Noticed a number of people clapping Gus goal in the home end. So we must have infiltrated that for the last game

Those end sections have been empty all season and thus easy to book in if you want to be covered and seated Then we are in the semi final and everyone is instantly a FGR fan again and wants to come watch so the whole stand is sold out. Wouldn't want to be clapping an away goal in there Wednesday or you might get a veggie pie to the back of the head.

Time for a fresh Morton?

Maher said last Thursday he hasn’t started training yet so no chance

 

[RHB]

I've forced myself to have another look at the strength in depth of the FGR team, and it's a bit scary on paper. Leaving aside the mickey taking of their ground and Owner, we are going to need to show the determination and will to win attitude from Rochdale if we are to prevail on Wednesday. Can we do it? Well, at 1-3 last game, I thought, 'that's it'. The team made me look stupid for thinking that, and it looks like the siege mentality of previous seasons is back in spades. Bring it on.

And to be honest we have looked better without him. That’s not a dig at Morton as I rate him, however the balance has looked better with Husin and Coker.

Only change I would make is Kendall for Walker, although it’s a tough one as Walker is pants off the bench and looks like he can’t be arsed when he does come on, the complete opposite of Kendall.

They do have some good players but then so do we so should be a very good game

Time for a fresh Morton?

Certainly not.
