Forest Green Rovers form and stats
Forest Green Rovers's results here at The New Lawn in the League One have been very modest with 3 victories, 0 draws and 7 defeats.
Forest Green Rovers's last game was hosting Cambridge United (placed 20th) and winning 2-1. What a relief, as that was the first three points in the league after playing, but not winning, seven consecutive fixtures. O'Keeffe was on the receiving end of a red card in the Forest Green Rovers-Cambridge United match, being sent off in the 90th minute. The game was drawn at that point, but the home side still managed to pull off a 2-1 victory. Midfielder McGeouch was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.44 (out of ten) in that game. McGeouch served one assist and hit two key passes.
A win at home before that, as predicted. The team were solid favourites against Alvechurch and won 2-1.
