I'm expecting good things. Swindon-esque from a season or two back.
It's taken them long enough to build a squad that is capable of Barcelona style football so I'm expecting big things.
They should be smashing teams like us that are rank out of form.
I suppose it goes to show with the right level of investment and the right players brought in and moved on over a 4 year period that in time you'll be practically handed the league after 11 games.
Their only two defeats have been by Port Vale and Swindon. Similar to our only two defeats by teams in the top three.

I’m on vacation in the Pigeon Forge Tennessee area. If I see Dolly Parton today I’ll ask her what’s she thinks the final score will be, and she’ll say I have no idea and I’ll say me neither. Then I’ll say Orient needs some offense and a win, and she’ll say ok how about 9 to 5? This joke may only be funny to me, but there’s my contribution to the score prediction.

It's a bit early in the morning to be starting on the Tennessee sipping whisky, but what the heck, enjoy!

By the way good crowd v Walsall.

Play to our potential and it will be close play like we did Saturday and it will be a long night.

Play to our potential and it will be close play like we did Saturday and it will be a long night. We never seem to play a bad game (Harrogate excluded)but never seem good enough to win.I am aching for a little luck and top form.Looking forward to the match.

We've done well without playing well. Imagine what it'll be like when it all clicks together.

I’m only interested in what we do. Care nothing for FGR.
Sounds like we are getting our excuses in early.

I didn’t see the walsall game, but I just watched the extended highlights (man, why did I do that!?) it seemed a pretty nothing sort of game, not much to get excited about. Are we just going through a blip, or are the wheels starting to come off after a positive start to the season? I think the performance against FGR will give us a good idea which it is. A good performance, even without the result and I’d lean towards the former. A limp defeat and it starts to look like the latter. I’m looking forward to the game, should be interesting.

Interesting to see if Pratley can do a job on Adams.

I'm not looking forward to this one little bit , you just know Forest Green will be out to con the ref from the start ( especially Adams ) they are experts at this , im hoping we can beat them but if we play like we did Saturday they will tear us a new one ☹ , i am looking forward to going to Stevenage Saturday far more than this one .

Interesting to see if Pratley can do a job on Adams. Need to get emergency sponsors in the meat trade get their logos on the shirts. Suggest Pukka pies, Smithfield mkts, Fray Bentos, Aberdeen Steak Houses etc. Just to wind the Vegan owner up.

Maybe you should ask Dolly to sing “We’ll get ahead one day”

Never fear osoldguy- I shall smuggle a large Melton Mowbray pie into the ground and brandish it toward the FGR bench at regular intervals ( or until such time as I eat it!)!👍😄 🥧

Tear us a new one. We have too many new ones already. Tonight is about sealing the holes. Plugging the gaps.
