After three wins on the trot, It would be great to keep the winning run going, with a good win against Forrest Green.I'm sure we will see no changes in the team or the formation, that has worked for the last two games.
I think we can win this game and then the team will have much more confidence to tackle the next two games, that look a bit more difficult.

I agree Dave. I am confident we can we this one, but a point would not be a disaster away from home. And even if we lose, as long as it's not by 3 or 4 I think people will give PB some breathing space again. At the moment ourselfs and Stevenage seem to be creeping up on the leading pack after poor starts.

I'm looking forward to this one.
I'd be expecting us to go-out with the same attitude we had against Eastbourne - the players are looking a lot more confident and purposeful, things are slowly starting to go right and we are getting a bit of fortune for a change over the last few weeks.
FGR have faded a bit in the last few weeks, but I'm sure that this will be a very tough match - I'd like to think that we can win there, but a point isn't by any means a disaster.
I would expect to see the same team and formation for Tuesday that started yesterday.
I take it that it is still all-ticket? Any chance of just turning-up and going in the home-end?

I still think there will be a couple of hundred there though??? |

I still think there will be a couple of hundred there though???  This ridiculous situation relates to Buster's tale of developments at Colchester. It seems that every season there is at least one match that gets made "all ticket" or "all ticket for our fans" for no other reason than some nincompoop feeling that it is unhealthy to have a lot of people turn up at one venue at the same time - but surely that's just what football is! I guess some simple plod at the Gloucestershire Police HQ has looked at last season's numbers and failed to correlate that then it was a Bank Holiday, and also that we were taking much larger numbers away with us then anyway. All ticket for a midweek game over 120 miles from home is simply stupid and one can only feel sorry for FGR trying to run professional football in such a "Dibley like", Parish Council area. Buster asks whether any new stadium matches the atmosphere or indeed betters the one of the ground it has replaced and true, it is hard to think of one, except for Hull City's "KC" which was built further into town than the old Boothferry Park..................may be if they stopped encouraging clubs to re-locate to such soulless out of town locations, away from all the periphery additions (like shops, pubs and town centres) local and police authorities wouldn't have to worry about what fans were up to just outside these shiny new stadiums. Colchester join Weymouth, Shrewsbury, Darlington, Yeovil, Newport and Salisbury to name but half a dozen clubs who have had the heart of the community feel ripped out of them by being stuck out on some ring road or remote part of towns who could and should easily embrace a few thousand souls bringing a bit of atmosphere, life and no little spending power to urban environments that are crying out for a bit of life once a fortnight or so. It is for this very reason that I always despair of folk who want to see OUR club relocated to the Ring Road, The Willows, or even Clennon Valley for that matter....................we wouldn't be having a debate about Boots pub if the club was stuck out at any of those soul destroying dumps as there wouldn't be ANY non match day business to sustain it! If I do go tonight (which will only be in the unlikely event of my being within that part of England around late afternoon - right now I don't know where I'll be) I'll be pitching myself in the best part of the ground I can and the local busybodies won't know whether I support Torquay, Forest Green, Nottingham Forest or Forrest Gump for that matter; and it won't affect the way I behave for one second. I don't have a ticket nor ever intended to get one, they're little more than arsewipe as far as I'm concerned!  |

Excellent points Merse and post of the week so far for me! Especially agree about the "actions" of the local police - but it could also have something to do with that even more ludicrous piece of anti-legislation for all normal human beings - "Health and Safety". The sooner that that European inspired  ? gets kicked into touch, the better! |

Was at the FGR game last season when we snatched a draw out of the jaws of a win. Our defence let us down last time. Let's hope Buckle has got it thought out and we get 3 points against a well off form FGR. Anything less is unnacceptable.

Even though I have my doubts about the 4-5-1 at home, especially with a slow front man like Sills, I'd be perfectly happy, were Buckle to stick with this for tonights match.
With regards to FGR, I think we must win based on the fact that they have seemed to struggle at the back for a long time, including last season, they are on bad form, and they have lost, perhaps last season's best player in the division, in Stuart Fleetwood.
We are getting better and they are getting worse so on paper.......

also having to listen on the radio tonight i think we will play the same as the last two game. i think it will work again at forrest green but now we would have a plan b if we needed it by putting on an extra striker if we were to go behind. we won't and i think we will win 2 nil.
