Can see why they hadn’t won in 8 games.
That FGR side turn in that performance at the Mem and we will bury them.

That’s it then FGR open up an 8 point gap over 2nd place Scunthorpe at home up next so that should be another 3pts. |

I don’t agree it’s over for the title, FGR have some very hard games to come including us, we can still do this in my opinion. Let’s just keep winning. 💙

Winners focus on what they can do to influence any situation. All we can do is win our games.
Joey and team are focused on every game being a cup final. For sure, If win all our games from here on in we will be automatically promoted.
We can’t influence FGR results. What will be will be. They have some tough games ahead. Just maybe they might lose enough for us to just pip them to title. We can dream and they can fail
It’s a long shot but winners don’t look back just keep on learning and improving. Getting better every day. Our team certainly is.
It’s good fun watching how other teams cope with the pressure in the run in.
There will be twists and turns for sure. If we win all our games - and that is the target / it will be close at the very top,
Enjoy the ride to promotion through automatics or can we dream or hope for better.

Even if we win all our games FGR, Exeter, Northampton, and Mansfield could all finish above us, so we do have to rely on other teams dropping points, not that we're ever likely to win all our remaining games anyway.

We can forget FGR and the title. Their collapse and our required points tally just won't happen.
Anything else is still up for grabs. Need a modestly bad run from Exeter, although I don't think we can catch them...but not beyond the bounds.
3rd slot is anybody's.

Not sure what I want from this one. If FGR continue their recent form it'll just allow more teams into the mix. If they go on a winning streak, Swindon and ourselves would drop 3 points but Mansfield 6 As long as we beat FGR and win as many as our other games possible then I am happy. |

I think it is ridiculous to hope Rovers will finish as champions. FGR would have to lose three games on the bounce and Rovers win similarly to overtake the club. For automatically winning promotion Rovers are reliant on other teams losing and also games in hand. If Rovers were to lose at Carlisle it would make things quite difficult. We must keep things in perspective and remain cautiously optimistic. I will be suprised if Rovers were to win their remaining eight games!

That win was much needed for FGR last night after 7 games without a win. It’s highly possible they could have another run like that whilst we keep up our form of 7 wins in 7 or 8 wins in 10. FOREST GREEN ROVERS ( 10 games) home : Scunthorpe , Mansfield, Hartlepool, Oldham, Harrogate Away : Swindon , Barrow , The GAS , Mansfield |

Focus turns to tonight as games come thick and fast for our rivals
Oldham v Sutton
Port Vale v Exeter
Rochdale v Mansfield
Exeter winning will take them clear in 2nd place otherwise a draw will really bunch up the 9 clubs below FGR. Exeter and Mansfield both use games in hand.
It could be tighter than tight after tonight with so many clubs vying for that 3rd place
A draw for Exeter leaves optimism teams can still make 2nd place
A win for Oldham could really falter Suttons chances of automatiics

Maybe you’re just a ‘cautiously optimistic’ person on the whole, but generally football fans enjoy getting carried away with the possibilities that a fantastic run of form gives. It’s what most of us enjoy most about following our club, we’ve had enough low’s recently where we all dread the worse, but since Christmas we are THE TEAM for the first time in a long time. So for me and many others we’re dreaming and believing of that top spot still, and if we don’t manage it - well, automatics or playoffs would still be a very exciting and welcome bonus! Smaller clubs like ours don’t get success often, much of our existence is a struggle, so when we do ….. we bloody well enjoy it! 💙 |

PV seem to be hitting some form under their new caretaker manager and Exeter are apparently running short of midfielders, another home win for PV could be on the cards.

PV have had a real bit of bad luck with injuries across Dec/Jan but they are getting a good few back now and it’s showing hence their upturn in form. I don’t know if DC is having any influence from home right now but they don’t seem to have lost much momentum. |

It’ll be nice to follow the results tonight without any nerves or pressure for us for a change. Let’s see how some of the others cope with the Saturday/Tuesday schedule and pressure. The good thing is that someone is going to drop points - either Exeter or PV will drop 3 or both will drop 2. Mansfield losing and, to a lesser extent Sutton, would be a bonus.

As ever it will be about what we do in our games, not anybody else. It only becomes about others in the last 3/4 games of the season, until then prepare well and win your next match. A win at Carlisle or even a point would be welcome.
UTG!

Need to remember, play offs is a great achievement bearing in mind where we were. Dont want to be gutted at missing out on autos as that team normally loses in the semis!
Still hope we can get 3rd tho.
Think id prefer an Exeter win tonight because of that but lets just enjoy being involved!
Hopefully at least one of sutton and Mansfield also drop at least 2 points.

No harm in letting the optimism take over when your team is in a good run of form - have to make the most of these moments when they come along. UTG |

It’s only hope, it doesn’t necessarily need to be realistic does it? I mean Joey has those boys believe they’ll win every game and goes into each game fully intent on doing so. As long as it’s mathematically possible there’s no reason not to hope for it |
