  • 15' Forest Green Rovers FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' It looks surprising Forest Green Rovers FC does not make any changes. Tom Knowles has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 30' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Forest Green Rovers FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

  • 52' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Stockport County FC that had 118 games and scored 131 goals.
  • 57' It’s high time Steve Cotterill made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 62' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tyler Onyango made 319 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
