Forest Green Rovers form and stats

The seven points Forest Green Rovers have gathered from their first three away trips in the League Two is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues.

Forest Green Rovers failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Doncaster Rovers (placed 22nd) that ended with defeat 1-2. Hitting the posts four times in the Doncaster Rovers game proved expensive as Forest Green Rovers lost 1-2.

A loss against Crewe Alexandra was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Rovers's manager Horseman has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only {1 conceded goals}. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
