Worrying about rossiter. Would have preferred he didn’t play today, we need him Saturday. Did grant play at all? Is he fit? If no coutts or rossiter he’d be my next choice for the holding midfielder spot. No grant or kilgour Westbrooke played that role for the second team so guess Hel get the nod Saturday now.

Doesn’t sound like it was a great day, especially with players picking up knocks. Hopefully the kids enjoyed it.

Clarke took a whack to his upper leg and was holding it. Tried playing through it but came off and was being treated with ice in the dugouts. Anderson turned quickly and looked like he jarred his knee and just walked straight to the bench and sat down and didn’t come back on. Was a shame as the gibbons/ Anderson partnership down the right looks brilliant. Could be a major source of creativity this season.

With the number of knocks we’ve picked up & Coutts suspended for 3 games, it might be worth giving Glenn Whelan a call.

I was hoping for more after fans claiming he could break back in the team. Mr sideways. Compare him with Evans is like Chalk and cheese.

The reserve team did well although the first 11 were on top as you would expect. Evans stands out like a sore thumb as our best player. Everything went through him, just his final delivery let him down today.

Mr sideways. Compare him with Evans is like Chalk and cheese. I’m not sure what else we can do with the current squad. Maybe Finley could play there? But then who plays in the middle evans and ?? I think we’re stuck with westbrooke until coutts is back as it looks like Rossiter is going to be a bit part player this season I’m sorry to say. It was evident today we’re looking really light on numbers at the minute especially going forward. Those knocks today won’t have helped if any are out Saturday. Hoole looked very comfortable centre half admittedly he only had loft to deal with 😅 but still like the look of him there. He had loft in his pocket so easily the 2 halves he played against him.

I can't really see applying for a free ticket is any great hardship, it's now getting to the stage fans are complaining just for the sake of it.

Wasn’t a very good fun day. In fact it was terrible, nothing for the kids at all, just one penalty game, sure they used to have fairground rides , food stalls face painting ect for the kids, Vegan food only , thought I turned up at Forest Green, just the shop and a hour long game, Why it was all ticket really don’t know, actually turning people away at the turnstiles who didn’t have a ticket, there was only about a 1000 there

As others have said, a pretty poor ‘fun day’ all in all.
Felt a very half-hearted effort. Shame about the injuries picked up in the game.

Yep it wasn’t very fun at all to be honest. Food was awful, 1 activity. When compared to previous season it was a poor show

Personally I think it would of been better if like the old days when they opened the club shop so fans could buy the new shirts etc & a bar open so people could get a drink, rather than a last minute put together funday.

The shop was open and rammed with everyone buying the new shirts. Must have made a lot of money which is good. The fact it was advertised as a fun day and had 1 activity for kids or anyone for that matter to do was extremely disappointing in my opinion. It should have been advertised as an open training session.

Oh and loft was awful. His first touch for a professional footballer is the worst I’ve seen. Second touch is a tackle. I remember both you guys said exactly the same about his cameo at Port Vale in April.
