I don't think there was any indication that we were lacking in fitness. Everyone kept running from start to end, just not as quickly as the opposition (who also ran from the beginning to the end). Because they've got quick players and we haven't.

That's what the big bucks generally gets you - quicker, more athletic players.

No idea on the stats but even first half FGR seemed to retain and pass the ball far better than us? After HT they stepped up a couple of gears and we continued to plod and hoof and unfortunately aided them with silly errors.

Match sharpness probably more accurate. We were very visibly lacking movement, urgency, players wanting the ball and moving into position. The heat must have made that tough going, but it's the same for both sides and FGR were impressive in their energy and desire.

Yeah, I agree we looked a little sluggish. Oddly enough, I thought we actually started the second half a bit better but, of course, they got the goal following a break from our corner, I think, and the rest is history.

Let's just hope the result was one of those games you get where everything that can go wrong does and we put it right next game.

From what I'd read about our new players from those in the know on the Fishy I was expecting a younger team with SPEED galore-what happened. Fake News ?

We will never know from that game how bigger difference there was between the two clubs , as we never sent out our best players in there natural position , That was bad managements decision , I hope they know this and put it right

FAO Stadium. It is not hilarious for any of us who were there to simply record what we witnessed. Moosey ,Chaos, Forza et al have analysed the differences between the two teams and the failure to react both on and off field. If I was on holiday or abroad I would prefer to read unvarnished views , however uncomfortable, than
blind optimism.
Move on, nothing shameful here.

I don`t recall the Town fan`s being so optimistic as Saturday for quite a few year`s and the high gate and sheer volume of shirts was a pleasant surprise to the eye. I am hoping FGR are far better than we anticipated and this was a mere blip?

We’ll be going to war on Saturday and there’s not a man in there that I wouldn’t want next to me,"
That's the message from Town skipper, John Welsh ahead of Saturday's opener against Forest Green Rovers......


Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  
Update:  I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly
