  1. Cal Roberts might be nearing the end of his career due to his ongoing injuries, which is unfortunate. He can’t keep playing when he’s so prone to injury. I hope I’m wrong, as I’d love to see him do well in the football league, but it seems unlikely. At least that dream seems over.

  2.  

    I felt then and still believe that it should have been a red card. I don’t understand how the referee could have given a yellow card considering the risk involved. No one can deny it was reckless. He went straight through Jodi Jones, and it would have been safer to use a large pair of sharp scissors.

  3. Teams are starting to strengthen and add quality to their squads, and we’re no different. However, I’m concerned about our recent foray into the loan market. While Jaden Warner is a quality addition, the young goalkeeper is relatively unknown. I’m worried that we haven’t adequately addressed squad depth, which could haunt us later. As other teams become more cohesive with new signings, we seem to be keeping our squad numbers on the lean side.

  4. Regarding Tom’s tweet, he tends to maintain a polite and optimistic outlook without offering much personal insight. He avoids ruffling feathers, except when criticising certain players. While the appointment is good, there’s room to criticise Forest Green for spending more on squad improvements. Troy Deeney’s comments send a negative message about the squad’s faith and the need for improvements. This contradicts the question of whether they’ll avoid relegation. As a football analyst, one would expect him to favour one side or the other. Tom provides great insight but seems hesitant to make calls that might upset his readers. While he doesn’t need to be harsh, being overly positive can affect credibility.

  5. Maynard needs time, but initial signs of progress would be refreshing. I think holding our shape, especially in transition, will be the true test against a Barrow side that's no pushover. Looking for a structured but dynamic performance, aiming for a 1-0 victory. This game isn't about the scoreline though, it's about the team showing they're on board with the new vision and ready to give it their all.

  6. 49 minutes ago, Chris said:

    I have seen pictures of comments supposedly made by Troy Deeney, he's never a manager, not in a million years but if it's true about some of the things he said he could become a stand-up comedian.

    Does this mean he no longer plays for Forest Green Rovers?

    Wouldn't it be embarrassing and awkward if he returned to playing? Failed as a manager, thrived on a squad that played to his strengths. An average player, nothing remarkable. He should look at his own game and off-the-pitch antics before judging others.

    It's indeed a unique situation with Troy Deeney. His time at Watford was marked by his goal-scoring prowess, but his stint as a manager at Forest Green Rovers seems to have been less successful. However, it's important to remember that football is unpredictable and players often bounce back in surprising ways. 

    Regarding his comments, they've certainly stirred up a conversation. But as you rightly pointed out, self-reflection is crucial before passing judgement on others. As for whether he still plays for Forest Green Rovers, I'm not certain.

  7. Harrogate has adjusted well to League Two, their manager is thoroughly familiar with the club and Luke Williams has praised him in the recent press conference before this weekend’s match. I hope Luke can bring out the best in whoever starts the game. I miss the matches where we didn’t have to make changes and I’m beginning to think that this squad doesn’t enjoy playing in the cold, which is hard to believe as working hard would warm them up more.

  8. The fans forum was a fantastic evening, both entertaining and informative. It was great that Luke Williams was joined by Joe Palmer. While some of the questions were a bit unnecessary, overall it was a very good bonding session between the club and its fans.

  9. Wimbledon won’t want us to have much ball possession. They’re a competent team who can adapt, but they’ll be aware that we pose a threat if we’re allowed to play our usual game. So far, the teams that have performed well against us have found ways to disrupt Notts’ start.

    The frustration makes it difficult to gain momentum, so my concern is conceding a goal because it’s a setback that will likely give them the upper hand and make the game more open.

  10. Some sales are genuine, while others are just made to look appealing. I haven’t visited a physical store to buy a gift in a long time. The closure of many stores has led to an increase in online shopping, and the ones that are still open aren’t ones I would typically visit. The UK high street and shopping centres are a fading industry.

  11. Connell Rawlinson might think that Tom Williams is the cause of the problem. He probably doesn’t like Tom because of the negative comments from people who claim to know better about certain players. It’s not really Tom’s fault, he just shares his opinions. However, it can be risky when he interacts with people who are rude, as it can seem like he is endorsing their behaviour. Some of the negative comments about Rawlinson have been responded to, which isn’t a good idea, even if you are upset. There’s a difference between tweeting something that should stay private and responding to rude tweets. It’s easy to see why it might seem like he is the target. I don’t blame Tom, but it would be better if he avoided these kinds of interactions. It never reflects well on you. Connell should block and ignore these people.
