Ref 5

Belshaw 9 m o m literally the last line of defence that saved us and kept us 2 points behind autos. Great match!

Hoole 6 struggled and too deep..
Taylor 8 brought ball out well. Hands full.
Connolly 8 great work with Taylor.
Anderton 5 behind the pace.

Coutts 7 brilliant but too deep.

H. Anderson 5 ineffective.
Finley 4 poor game too many misplaced passes unforced errors.
Evans 6 set price poor.
E. Anderson 5 quietest match for a while.

Collins 5 worked hard but his decision making in passing or shooting left a lot to be desired.

Subs: Thomas 8 another exciting cameo.
Loft 7 got involved.
Saunders n o l e.

Ref 4 poor again. Card happy (book our for throw in encroaching?...yet no one else?). We def had penalty with bear hug in first that we all saw but no one else did.
Forest Green 8 top for a reason, tough physical opponents, missed a hatful of chances but we're at times defensively frail. Draw fair result.

Ok we didn't win, but morally we did. First of all, best of luck to the best team in league for their promotion and congratulations.

But....on another day we could've won - or quite easily lost - but yea I think most would take a point off league leaders. We played too deep, they hassled the ball when we had possession, we couldn't nail our passes or create triangles and could quite finish as ruthlessly. Credit to them, they made it physically difficult, brilliant number 22, 8 was lively and always the menacing threat of Matt. Too many players had off day.

Toughest matches over with have no right for us to raise expectations for the last 2....they present different challenges.

If we can convert possession (67% today) into bone fide goalscoring chances, we have a chance but it won't be easy.... only together as a unit can we succeed but who knows? 2 to go....
