I think praise is due today...people can say that we should have won easily against nine men, but, as said before, its not at all that simple. Especially against a side like Forest Green who can clearly keep possession and have a fast, dangerous striker on the counter attack.
I thought the tactics were spot on today, although early in the game I was angry that Little was up-front by himself and Joe was chosen ahead of Cahill, we clearly had a plan to cut up their passing game and retain possession and I thought we did it perfectly. Unfortunately, it got quite frustrating as every ball that got played into Little came back at us and I thought we cancelled each other out. Then, late in the game it can be really hard to score if you throw everything at a team with 9 men, but we were patient and got what we deserved.
It was also really pleasing to see them have so few shots on goal, even when they had 11 men, and get a vital clean sheet!
