I was texting my mate who's a Cambridge fan and we agreed FGR looked best positioned to win the league, but both concluded: 'But they normally find a way of f*#!ing things up'.

Obviously, since Winchester was jettisoned they look much better, but I always fancy them to implode. I do hope so

Sarfend fancy their chances of starting up, it seems.

0-3. I’ve never seen a better strike from 35 yards for that third goal!

Duffo is there watching apparently.

Come on Southend. Keep a cool head. Blow this and you deserve relegation or bankruptcy.

It also gives the league the rather satisfying feature that the top team is on 52 points, second on 51, third 50, fourth 49, fifth 48, sixth 47, seventh 46, eighth 45, ninth 44 and tenth 43.

That is fantastic. I do not recall seeing it in any league before.

Love this 1st posting on the FGR Match thread against Sarfffend

Judging from the response to Southend's team news on Twitter, their fans aren't particularly pleased with their team news. Apparently they're set up quite defensively

Fans know SFA lol

Cooper's post-match interview will make for a good laugh I expect

It seems Southend fans are not too impressed with the commentary. Apparently they couldn't understand how a team with more possession and passes could be losing.

I could watch that on repeat. In fact any goals against FGR I could!

Sounds about right...Billy Hunt doesn't have the first clue about how football actually works. Learnt from his father, obviously.

Christ. Exocet.

Let's hope we don't see a similar away win when Southend next come to Glos.

I love their number 8 running to celebrate with his hands on his head in sheer disbelief. Phenomenal stuff.

That’s how a team without much possession wins games Billy :lol: :lol:

Quite a few posters critical of Cooper in that thread. Here is the best:

“Typical Cooper selection: erratic, unjustifiable, absolutely pants, the footballing equivalent of Donald Trump. Relieved to have taken the year off from buying a season ticket. Just hope that promotion doesn't give him a new contract. Surely some other club wants him. Afan Lido ? Ross County Reserves ? Newlyn Non Athletico ? I would rather be in the Conference and managed by Gavin Williamson. Looking forward to watching grassroots, egg-chasing, marble racing, cheese rolling, online sudoku, anything rather than a club ruined by Cooperball. Don't care which division it's in. Tell me when he's gone and I will buy a ticket. BOX IT !!!”

Forest Green are perhaps best footballing side in the league. They are top on PPG. I am not sure what their fans expect? I think Cooper is an excellent coach (he has developed and sold players at a significant profit) and FGR have a certain style that they have honed over time. Cooper's main problem is that he can be a bit of a reactionary with players and team selections, especially when they lose. This can have a disrupting effect.

I fully expect them to get promoted notwithstanding last night's aberration.

Colchester asked for it so they could come over today and not have to pay for an overnighter. Not doing them any favours so far, 2-0 to the dregs.

There's just something so toxic about that club, it won't end well for them sadly

Interesting statement:

“This decision we’ve made today is about giving ourselves the best chance of securing promotion with six games left......Under-18s Manager Jimmy Ball will be interim Head Coach of the first-team until the end of the season. "

So DV thinks there best chance for promotion is with Jimmy Ball. I was expecting they would appoint an experienced out of work manager in attempt to achieve promotion. If Jimmy Ball does it, it would be some achievement.

Maybe he's come to the conclusion that anyone, literally anyone, would be better than Cooper
