Forest Green Rovers form and stats

It's trouble wherever Forest Green Rovers are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. Forest are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at The innocent New Lawn Stadium, having lost their two previous games here.
