I see FGR are also playing the wrong team name game....... Hahaha quality!! Bastards are stealing our tradition, I'm not sure how this will effect the result. Never before have two teams used the 'wrong team name' good luck charm. This could potentially end up in a draw.

Don't forget everyone, we are the underdogs today. We might be a bigger club but Forest Green have evidently spent much more money and have started a lot better. I think they will be in the top two come May (probably with Barnet) and a draw won't be a bad result. Come on you blues! I still struggle with the concept that FGR have spent more money than us, how is this possible. Are we really that poorly run? Or In a financial shitstorm that the board a managing to keep under wraps.

Personally wouldn't mind if we had the same board with maybe a CEO with a substantial footballing business background and full backing from our current board. In the long run the cost of his wages would be covered by the progress of the club. Alternatively put a chunk of the shares up for sale but ensure only knowledgable footballing investors are permitted, again back them and allow them to apply business changes to the club and playing setup.

Feel like I don't know enough about the teams in this league even to make an educated guess haha

What's up with him? Out of all the members of our current squad I see him as having the most potential. Came on last couple of minutes and looked sharp for the limited amount of opportunity he had. I hear rumours of his poor attitude and twatter antics, it's disappointing. Hope this season can be a turning point for the lad, with the right attitude he could go on to do good things and earn us a bit of coin in the process. C'mon buck up and act like a pro, putt the team first because ultimately it will benefit you in the long run. If memory serves me correct, when we announced the retained/leave list, Ellis was placed on the transfer list. I was of the opinion that no team would come in for him, that the club probably thought that too, that the club were simply sending a message to Ellis, to team mates, and to fans, about expectations. DC did say that there was a route back for Ellis. It looks as Ellis has come back with renewed determination. If he is still officially on the transfer list then I think now is the time to publicly take him off the list and send a strong message that he is definitely a part of plans. absolutely give him a start if he shows some more promise, for lack of a better phrase 'reward for good behaviour'.

Can't believe people still think I I can't spell Wales, in future I shall write it like 'Whales' just to help convey my sense of humour. As for the fixture error let's just say I hadn't had my Weetabix.

Not for me that. I think if you have to play lockyer right back then you need monkhouse in the squad because if there's one thing he does well it is tracking back to cover when lockyer goes forward. Also I don't think Taylor warrants a drop. He looked dangerous at times and as much as id like to see Ellis play, hes better as an impact sub later on in the game when everyone is getting tired. Then watch the fear on the defenders faces when he runs at them. Id keep the same squad that won and tell them to play it on the deck. This, but I would swap Ollie Clarke with "the beard" give us a bit more presence in the midfield.

The thing is, we say this all the time "maybe this is his year" but like someone has already said he might have had a lot hanging over him. Gonna put my neck on the line and say he's gonna have a good season with us and grow into his potential.

Looked a threat when he came on but quite often does without the end product. Good to see Clarke gave him a chance yesterday and proved the people wrong who claimed he had a grudge against the kid. nothing a bit of consistent match practice wouldn't put right I believe.

Meh I don't think he's all that anyway to be honest, but there again havnt seen him play more than a handful of games staggered. Maybe a brunt with 20 games under his belt might be a different story. As far as I'm concerned he's a liability.

Ok so are we all in agreement that future match day threads should be based on the wrong fixture? Like 'john the hoop' said this could be a good luck tradition, maybe my incompetence at starting a match day thread has brought us luck. Anyways BRISTOL ROVERS 1 ALFRETON 0

Positives for me where, Trotman looks pretty solid and won everything in the air he should definitely start next game , Martin looks a decent winger putting in some good delivery's something we have been missing, when we play on the deck our game looks good however we can't deny that Telford looked poor. Although he scored I still don't really rate Olly Clarke. I think we missed 'the beard' in midfield today his strong presence would have put Telford under much more pressure allowing us to capitalise more on they're mistakes. A Better performance by all means but still no cigar.

Just wondering if they are ok, did anybody else witness this happening. Mind you it took 6 minutes for the medic to arrive, and there didn't seem to be any haste to get down to the standing area. Could be making a mountain out of a mole hill here but hope they are ok.

If we win - Every Match Thread must have the wrong team.
This is it Gas we've found our lucky run, it starts today all thanks to an MG from Whales who paid £20 for his Ticked!
Priceless. UTG for record I do know whales is the place.and wales is that animal made from rubber!!! paid £20.50 to be precise. Sitting in exec bar as we speak, so my 20odd quid was pretty good estimate.
