Vegan FC (a)

[HoylandOwl]

We’re off to Forest Green then this weekend…. It’s in a lovely part of the country, and I hope it’s the backdrop for three points.

Officials this weekend.

Referee: DAVID ROCK (24 games, 88 Yellow cards, 5 red)
Assistants: Samuel Ogles and Joseph Stokes
Fourth Official : Thomas Kirk

Last Time he reffed us.

Our 4-2 Win over Burton Albion earlier this season.

Our head to head record

Played 1. We won 1. The 5-0 thumping earlier this season.

 

[mkowlthesexynewversion]

I heard it will be quite windy - what with all them vegans 

[bricat]

They'll never stop telling you about it.

[Andyben]

Do they let them graze on the pitch at half time?

[HoylandOwl]

Lee Gregory on pre match press conference duty 

LG: "We just want to bring on Sunday and bounce back. You have to dust yourself down and go again - we will do that.

"They're in a relegation battle and this won't be an easy game. We need to go there and perform."

LG: "We were a little down after the game on Tuesday and that's normal. But we're in today, it's a new day and now we look forward to the next one.."

LG: "It's massive that we go out there on Sunday and get a result. It's all focus on this one game, not any beyond that, not any other team - just ourselves and this game on Sunday."

LG: "The support we get lifts us massively, they turn out every week. They always give the team a lift. It's really nice to hear them and the support they give me and I want to repay them with goals and performances.."

[Chelters]

For those travelling to Nailsworth just be warned there ain’t much there. Nearest station is Stroud about 5 miles away and that’s not exactly a metropolis either.

Early start on a Sunday 😴.

New ground for everyone.  One of those “you want to be able to say you where there” days.  We are very unlikely to ever play this lot again in a League fixture.  I’ll be doing the Wednesday Wave.

Tbh I will never forget going to Stevenage, Rushden and Diamonds, Dagenham and Redbridge but more due to the embarrassing acceptance of our shitness

[Owling_Wolf]

Even more pissed off with Sky tossers, if that's possible. I'm sure someone will have posted about the coincidence a lot earlier but actually going through it on the day really brings home what they've done. Picking a club going as far as our lucky attendees are early this morning to have a lunchtime kickoff, made worse by losing an hour's sleep as we put the clocks forward, is just typical Sky shite. Once more, they don't give a toss about travelling fans. 

Whoever picks the games for Sky, may your fingers go through the toilet paper every time!

No one will ever forget Stevenage. Apart from the second half, i wasn’t there for that.

Fuck that. Fair play to them that have got there arses out of bed.

I’ll be in boozer at 12 

[HappyOwl]

Come on Wednesday Bouncebackability is what’s needed today 🙌🙌🙌🦉🦉💙💙

[HoylandOwl]

[mkowlthesexynewversion]

Interesting that Vaulks is on the bench. More for me he was showing fatigue a bit on Tuesday and not his best game. Don't mind the James / Johnson pairing down the left. 

Not forgetting its 5 games in 15 days coming up or summat like that 

[HoylandOwl]

Yeah, it has to be management of workload dropping Vaulks and Famewo.

[KrolMong]

It’s also a game where we will have a lot of the ball. James and Bakinson have very good distribution, Bakinson is a good passer of the ball. I think this game suits him more that Vaulks.

James will create overloads with Johnson.

[Delseeds]

Come on Wednesday! 3 pts please 🙏

[HoylandOwl]

This feels very weird. We're having loads of the ball, they seem nervy.. Or unsure of themselves after a few early decent passes.

[Kiwi Owl]

Bakinson saves us with that tackle from going one down

[Skamp]

Fuck knows what our tactics are at hhe moment? We look nervous and keep lumping the ball up and wide to their advantage 

[Hirstys 12th Pint]

This is painful.

How much time do we need to spend passing ball round at back.

[Skamp]

And that's what you get.

[Kiwi Owl]

Well thats been coming

[MAL]

[HappyOwl]

😡😡😡 this is shit 

[Beaconowl]

Feels like the wheels are coming off the bus 😩

C’mon Wednesday FFS 

[owl4ever1867]

We are so slow, 

[Chelters]

Those injuries to Windass and Byers have killed us. Hopefully DM can shake it up at half time.

I wish the brakes would come off, this is absolute garbage.

[KrolMong]

We don’t need a back three. They aren’t really playing a striker.

There is no intensity whatsoever from us. Especially with the ball, everyone is coming short and they are happy to send us to our right and allow Iorfa to have it, and he’s not willing to carry the ball into space.

We’ve got to proper number 9’s up top and I can count three crosses. That’s not enough.

[Mark]

That was absolutely dire

[mkowlthesexynewversion]

Very poor and they are actually playing the better football when they get it.

Time for tea cups to go flying Mr Moore

[MAL]

We have had a full half now of trying to punt balls into the middle from just inside our own half, news update...

It's not fucking working, get to the byline.

[Andyben]

Bit Spursy this.

 

[HoylandOwl]

That's as bad as we've been all season. Even when things were 'indifferent' at the start of the season, that ranks right up there.

[owl4ever1867]

Fallen into their game set from minute 1.

They've set up with 11 men behind the ball to hit us on the break, all we've then go onto do is knock it around our back 3 with no pace to our game to get the ball down the wing.

I'd give them 10 minutes in the 2nd half to get a fucking grip or 2/3 are coming off.

[Kiwi Owl]

That was by far the worst 45 minutes i've seen from Wednesday this season

We are playing bottom of the league Forest Green Rovers and yet our attacking play has been Sunday league standard. If anyone watching doesn't know the league positions of the two teams, they'd think we're bottom given how pathetic the attacking play has been

James to Flint, to Iorfa, to Flint, to James etc, we almost conceded a goal before we did thanks to that stupid play

They've had 2 clear cut chances, we've had 0. Where's Sir Alex when you need him, tea cups everywhere at that lot

 

[KrolMong]

I’d go to a back four.

Famewo for Iorfa. Vaulks for Bakinson.

Palmer, Flint, Famewo, James

Adeniran, Vaulks, Bannan, Johnson

Smith, Gregory

 

[Tank_Owl2,0]

Crying out for someone like Wilks to be turning their defence. I’d say FDB but not if he plays like he’s not interested.

I don’t think he’ll he change anybody just yet.

Edited March 26, 2023 by Tank_Owl2,0

[mkowlthesexynewversion]

Perhaps they forgot to put their clocks forward and thought that was the warm up

We could easily match them up (God am I saying this against Forest Green...) James and Palmer as more otherodox full backs, Adeniran and Johnson as wide midfielders and the two up top

It’s not great but you have to give a bit of credit to FGR and how big Dunc has got them drilled.

[Tank_Owl2,0]

Hunt for Iorfa

[Chelters]

There seems to be a bit of a fear of losing the ball, it’s all too safe. Maybe that’s a hangover from Tuesday night.

[Delseeds]

Just shite, just have to go for it now. A draw at the bare minimum. Piss poor

[Kiwi Owl]

That should be 2-0

[Andyben]

What's with the pitch side ads about Climate Change.

Didn't bother their owner when he flew to Turkey for his hair weave or Thailand to get his teeth done.

[Chelters]

Smith is having an absolute stinker, don’t think he’s controlled the ball once.
