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

[RHB]

If we can get past the first minute of the game without you scoring I will be happy. Gateshead had it in the net within 30 seconds against us in april and were winning 3 - 0 till the 87 min when we clawed 2 back in 7 mins but ran out of extra time. Came close to getting a draw and keeping our 100% unbeaten at home. We are unpredictable thats for sure.

Very good team Gateshead, we knocked them out of the play-offs.

I just worry there isnt enough meat in nailsworth for all you visiting fans as most shops are artisan vegan delis! FGR really should of informed you to bring your own meat.

You're getting us mixed up with Col Ewe. They have a few supporters that walk around with a sheep. But that sheep's not for eating.

When we go up I'm looking forward to having Cheltenham and Swindon and Newport nearby to play instead of having to travel bloody miles to face teams by the seaside!

Who was there chap on the right wing who raced past Ralph...lost his boot and still scored in the last game, he looked dangerous.

Hoping for an early Innis red card elbowing Hopper to get us settled!

He certainly looked a bit useful. I believe that was Nathan Ralph's first game back after injury, he will be more prepared for Garrick this time.

Think I would like red. We seem luckier in red and I bet kev wants red so as to continue current fortunes. but who knows!

If I recall I think Ralph was still feeling the affects of an injury and came back for that game probably before fully ready. I don't think it's happen like that again now Ralph's properly match mobile.

Don't worry buddy, we'll bring our sandwiches and a bag of quavers, and if the lads are still peckish I'd imagine they will find someone to eat.

Population 6k and we got up to Division one....that's crazy if you think about it!

But Shirley you get some Supporters come down from Stroud? The other thing is, did you know you've done more posts on this thread, than the entire posts of your supporters on your Forum?

My Mum used to work at the White House and ive been up there for birthday meals and for walks on the Pennine Way like you said it is superb and beautiful on a clear day. Had many a good time up there.

There may be a bit of a clue here:

Not happy about that for the afore mentioned reasons. Let's hope we can buck the trend of performances in this colour of kit.

I like to imagine there is a secret FGR fan forum that I'm not privy to as I'm not from nailsworth (I'm 10 mins drive away) but I dont think there is! They are trying to get new blood in with only charging £1 a game for under 11s so hopefully they can grow. Also with building a new stadium in the new 5 years right next to the motorway they can attract more fans. I only started supporting them end of last season (total glory supporter) as my 6 year old son wanted to go to see football in his words "in a proper stadium" but as we are so far from Southend I guess I had to settle for FGR.

1. Theyve got so much fire power, if their manager gets his selection and subs right it should be too much for us. I really hope im wrong PS If Cards gets the winner......I dont to think about it!

A good interview and Steve Cotterill is a quality manager at this level who knows the game inside out. I think he’s respectful of our side and will have his boys well prepared. I’m under no illusions that tomorrow night is gonna be a really tough ask for us. Especially away from home.

But our away record at Rochdale was horrendous and we’ve had 2 draws against Forest Green this season so shouldn’t go into the game with fear. On paper Forest Green win but the game isn’t played that way.
