Troy Deeney

[Baghdad_Rob]

Seem to remember Hess as manager getting sent off and bringing himself on as a sub. Sure someone remembers the detail or am I making that up?

Correct against Cardiff around 2002 or 2003.

He did it again a few years later when he was serving a touchline ban as the manager but named himself as a sub against Leeds. He had to sit in the stands until he wanted to come on. And he wasn't allowed to warm up on the side of the pitch so had to warm up in the changing room or something.

Yup. V Cardiff away. A 5-0 drubbing.

Got some wicked Charlie at London Bridge afterwards which helped numb the pain all them years ago.

Robert Earnshaw had a field day I recall

Troy has apparently been sacked

Hardly surprising

Oh great, they’ll get the new manager bounce that every other club apart from us gets!

Eni Aluko is the early front runner with the bookies. Wow!

 

[Gills1962]

Have to be a bloody quick appointment

and what does the oracle think???

Gillingham could be the first match in charge for a new Forest Green manager twice within 4 weeks

Looks like Deeney got Manny Osadebe in at FGR before he supposedly got the tin tack.

Normally managers get the sack after they loose to Gillingham not before playing us.

 

[OneSirKeefy]

So, manager sacked, ex-player returns, bottom of the league.

What could possibly go wrong….

Our match vs Forest green a few weeks ago was actually Deeney’s first game in charge, so whoever takes the game on Saturday it will be the same again for them.
2 chances for new manager bounce for FG in a few weeks and unknown tactics / style for Clemence to face again.

 

[jogills]

I do hope the game goes ahead. This is the perfect moment to meet them.

FGR enter the game tomorrow in a complete mess. In theory this should significantly enhance our chances of winning & perhaps dishing out our first tonking of this campaign. But the sacking also uplifts the potential banana skin status of the fixture. Always nervous when we appear to be firm favourites.
