Refwatch - Forest Green Rovers v Rochdale on 16:16 - Oct 4 by dannyuk | It looks like Rodney scares their midfield into sitting deep, leaving the forwards isolated. Aside from some scuffed shot attempts he's having a very good game again. |
The commentary team are full of praise for him too and his ability to carry the ball forwards, so far so good just hope we dont resort to sitting back as they will no doubt get chances at some point |  | |  |

Refwatch - Forest Green Rovers v Rochdale on 17:09 - Oct 4 with 1635 views | 442Dale | Great three points. Another calm, composed victory that impressed the home commentators. It’ll be interesting to see how Savage reacts after a setback. He’s always going to be box office and enthusiastic when things are going well, but that appears to have been an erratic set of choices before and during the game. We’ve now won away at the sides in second, third and fourth. [Post edited 4 Oct 17:11]

Superb, we look very calm and controlled even without the ball, the graft that goes into them sort of game is a massive credit to Jim and all the lads. |  | |  |

Excellent performance, defensively rock solid and good with and without the ball. We totally negated FGR, it was a 1-0 massacre. A game that should have finished 1-4 had we taken several easy chances. EEL was my man of the match but Gilmour was his usual self, very good. The manager set us up perfectly, well done Jim. We are good enough to win the league and good enough to win the Play Offs. That's the realisation after beating Carlisle and FGR in their own back yard. [Post edited 4 Oct 17:21]

In our ten victories we’ve only conceded 3 goals. With five minutes to go on Wednesday when we were missing chances and not looking like getting an equaliser, how many would have taken a point then and again today in a top of the table clash? Instead we are a point better off and have leapfrogged Forest Green with games in hand. I’ll take that deal! |  |

Refwatch - Forest Green Rovers v Rochdale on 17:21 - Oct 4 with 1401 views | WhitworthDale | Wow. Wonderful performance full of skill, tenacity and some smart gamesmanship. We are seeing this team evolve - they have become that little bit more ruthless. Smith had 2 chances to bury the game but we largely controlled it throughout in my view. Delightful to see Mitchell get hauled off. |  | |  |

Refwatch - Forest Green Rovers v Rochdale on 17:28 - Oct 4 with 1293 views | dannyuk | Their commentators mentioned control and comfort so many times today for us, and that pretty much sums it up. Aside from the 1v1 early on they never looked like scoring - I'd back Whatmuff against Kairo 9 times out of 10 anyway. I thought a lot of the timewasting was a bit unnecessary but it worked out in the end. |  | |  |

The ‘game management’ we’ve often been annoyed with in the past when used by Darren Ferguson sides and others is now something that has been a feature this season. Can there be a sweepstake each game for which minute our keeper needs treatment? |  |

Coming back to draw on Wednesday, win today I'm a greedy bastard, but that's how we should be thinking |  |

The aforementioned tactics are something one of them may have introduced. Having a whole coaching staff that understands the club because of their time as players (including Lillis) will help as they collectively sing from the same hymn sheet. |  |

Chaos theory? That'd be start with Rodney and EEL against Halifax, lose both through injury, take a point from the game and lose today Let's just start our best XI whenever possible; it'd help avoid unnecessary chaos |  |

Refwatch - Forest Green Rovers v Rochdale on 17:56 - Oct 4 with 946 views | 442Dale | Very quick look, and I’m sure TVOS will be along at some stage with better info, but our starts during the two most successful recent seasons were the same after 12 games: W7, D2, L3. 23 points. 30 points from 12 games this time around. |  |
