Good chance for Harness who rather poorly scuffed his shot.

We look much the sharper side passing the ball well without really threatening in the final third of the pitch.

Good chance for Morsy on 20 mins. So much space he should have done better.

It’s been coming for a while and was well taken, nothing poor about that and punished their missed chance.

What an awesome goal from Sam Morsy, shame he didn’t trike the ball like that late on last week.

It should be game over unless something goes horribly wrong in the second half.

We seem to be struggling at the back this half. Almost 2-2

Don't think so. The guest is Nick Hayes our 3rd keeper
Never heard of him, where did he come from ?

Not sure how much they add for each substitution ? If it’s 30 sec for each there’s 5 mins.

Well that was a far from comfortable win albeit a class apart from Forest Green.

Good 3 points tbh . Not surprised we made a meal of it as we always seem to in these types of games. Many more of these to come I think.

Not our best defence out there today. Edmundson is not as comfortable on the ball as Woolfie. Snd Davis having a bit of a tough time getting his feet atm. Burgess is basic I think .

We need to focus more on our hand snd but believing all the “ how good are this side” hype. You are? Well prove it with professional, tidy performances. We dominated the game but effectively huffed n puffed the whole of the second half.

Going forward, I’d have Leigh in at LB, and be looking for that striker to come in.

Well done Town, 4 points out of a possible 6 …. That’s more than this time last season . A solid start 👍

Why do we always make things so difficult for ourselves? 2-0 up dominating the game and then let them back into it. Had to laugh when we scored the 2nd as nearly all our fans including myself didn’t realise that it had gone in so the celebrations didn’t start immediately.
Another ground ticked off the list but not one I will return too. 4 points out of 6 to start with is certainly an improvement on last season.

He played today , but I don’t think he’s on his game like last season. His first touch has deserted him. I think he’s going to fade as season progresses because he simply hasn’t had a break over the summer. He is also, very much s “ marked” man by opponents these days. That left side needs to get up and running .
