Interesting comment from Matt Porter after-match. In the context of how we,Forest Green etc are using the Legends lounge and leisure centre for the away changing room: “....funnily enough there was no social distancing at Oldham, draw your own conclusions about that.... 🤔

Dreadful defensive performance in the first half and could easily have been three or four down at half time. Cheltenham eased off second half and did what Mansfield should have done- slowed the game down rather than trying to hold it in the corners. If you're going to bring Sotiriou on, put him in the middle.

Bonne scores a 96th minute equaliser on his QPR debut.

Unfortunate day but back into the prayer chamber to assuage our Lord 😇👍 and while we’re praying let’s put in a word for a new centre back so we don’t have to have Widdowson inflicted upon us again!

Whilst all the excuses get rolled out, our 38 year old player was outstandingly. What a waste of time that was.

You think Widdowson is no centre back? Wow. Seriously it’s just not his position is it. But we are not professionals, Ross is. we have Widdowson and Brophy both playing out of position and wonder why it goes wrong. But Ross knows best.

Mafioso ,how many more times ,Brophy is not out of position .He has stated several times he likes playing LB and has played more times there for all his clubs !

I’ve no doubt he likes to play there but he moved to another position for a reason. Someone, somewhere decided he was better further forward. They were right.

The Brophy “ positional debate” is really a bit of a side issue really. Surely the bottom line is he should be played where he is most effective for the team - irrespective of whether he likes playing at left back or he doesn’t? RE presumably feels that he can get greater value out of Brophy as an erstwhile left back rather than a left sided attacker - I personally don’t go along with that but to be fair to Embleton, it might be something to do with the fact that he has more quality and depth available in the attacking position that Brophy might occupy ( Maguire - Drew, Dayton, Dennis) than defensively ( Widdowson, Ogie) ? 🤔

If you saw the aftermatch tv discussion you may have a different view of our poor performance.They made no excuses for being beaten by a much better team.What they did give was what our players were doing in the last two weeks before yesterdays game,and what Cheltenham were able to do with the time between their last game and yesterdays. We were poor but put some good effort into the game.I knew the ref would not help us,seen him before,but 11 fouls against us in the first half without a booking. Our disallowed goal was a mistake by the lino,but that is how football goes,win some,lose some.We travel up on friday night for the game against Barrow,a lot more training together and we may see a different O's.

I love a laugh so am now laughing with you.Laughing is my speciality. Many aspects to a game though aren't there Howling.
