Jamie White will get goals if he's given chances, but he sure as hell won't create them on his own. Bringing him on for the final ten minutes is more or less pointless, he needs a good half hour to impact the game and tuck away the one chance he gets.

You are correct in saying that he'll need half an hour to be given one chance! We need someone creative asap.

Really liked the look of Taylor so far, and as others have said he just needs that first goal to get him started and I think he'll be off.
He's got good pace, clever movement, and is just an all-round bright player.
If he had already scored this season then that header yesterday would have been buried and we'd have won the game IMO. He had another moment in the 2nd half when he seemed to be through on goal but cut back onto his left foot and then tried to beat their defender (Oliver?) but was tripped and the chance went away. I think a confident Taylor was shifting and hitting that across goal first time. But it'll come.

All about opinions but don't rate Taylor and his poor goal scoring record confirms my lack of optimism.We so need our forwards to start scoring.

I like Matty Taylor but I'm starting to doubt him being a 15+ goal a season striker. He was unfortunate not score his header yesterday, it was a great save from the Forest Green keeper and he did have one in the back of the net in the first half but it was ruled out (not sure why, couldn't tell from the other side of the pitch). However he has had chances to score and not done so. Like against Grimsby, he took a touch too many and made it easier for McKeown to save when really Taylor should have buried it, I did put that down to confidence but that excuse can only last so long.
So far I've liked what I've seen of Cunnington, he holds the ball up well, when he receives a long ball he controls it well and doesn't lose possession and he looks like he is dangerous in the air. Gave Forest Green centre half Luke Oliver trouble and Oliver had a few inches on Cunnington. He has a good record at this level too which is a bonus. None of our strikers have been more prolific than Cunnington at this level.
Jury is still out on White. He hasn't had the minutes to really get himself into the game, I do think there was a couple of half chances against Barnet where the ball was in the box bouncing around that he could have stabbed towards goal, after all he's supposed to be a 'fox in the box' type of player.
I said it in the thread about Brunt that I don't think he's come back as the same player he was pre-injury. He looks slow and lethargic. He really shouldn't be beat for pace by a centre half but he has been on a few occasions already. If the rumours of him leaving are false then I'd like to see him back when he regains some of his pace, at this level he could be dangerous.

You don't rate him because of goals or his all-round play? If its goals then I can't argue with you, strikers are always going to be rated by goals over a period of time. But we are only a few games in with a new team. If its his all round play then I think the lad is extremely hard working and honest. He has a canny knack for holding the ball up or winning little flicks even though he's only a little fella. His movement is good, has reasonable pace and he's not afraid to have a crack. Let's give the lad a few more games to hopefully break his duck and then he will be an asset. Not too long though. We don't want another Andy Williams situation where the lad was kept in so long his head had gone.

White looked like a pub player when he came on yesterday! Cunnington looked ok, Taylor ok-ish. First impressions.....they ain't Paul Randall!!!! white wasnt on the pitch long,just wondered what made you think he looked like a pub player? Looked out of shape! One thing that impressed me, was that aside from White & Parkes, the rest of the players looked in good nick.

Can't understand how White's gone from being a class act at Salisbury, to third choice behind Taylor and now, it seems, Harrison.
As things stand it seems a fight between Taylor & Harrison, with the latter surly a better impact player from the bench

Brunt has had lits of injuries and is unfit, he needs time but i believe he too has goals in him. This is all part ifnthe bigger picture of a squad not ready to go. Im relieved we saw something from midfield at FGR but we need to solve out innability to score or we will not ge anywhere near promotion.
