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.

Ever the way. Forest Green’s coach could be stuck in traffic leaving their under-5s to face us, us winning 20-in-a-row, and them rock bottom. Somehow we’ll still lose to them.

As long as our players don't go out thinking the 3 points are in the bag, then I'll be happy.
Nothing worse than watching your team taking their foot off the gas because they expect the opponent to be somehow weaker. This has undone us before against teams nearer the bottom of the league.
I'm sure Clemence will demand a professional performance of 100% focus, determination and energy from his team to impose themselves on a FGR who will be scrapping for their lives.
 
Would imagine this will be very hard for the FGR players to get motivated for. Had a miserable couple of weeks with the Head Coach slagging some off by name in the media and then face a 320 mile round trip to play in freezing conditions and will get very little time with the caretake in charge. Not saying its impossible, but we should definitely look to capitalise on that and an early goal for us could be crucial.

when was the last time an EFL side scored 10 or more in a game?

Having a quick scour of the internet, the most recent one in the English football league I can find is Man City beating Huddersfield 10-1 in November 1987 in the old Division 2 (Championship). Two months before that was the next most recent occurrence when little old Gills beat Chesterfield 10-0.

They will be playing to show themselves, the world and their former boss how wrong he was about them.
 
Aha, the plot thickens:

For, jumping into Troy`s boots, without injuring her Achilles heel, may well be FGR`s Helen, sorry, Hannah Dingley.

You`ll recall Helen, sorry, Hannah, stood in as Acting Head Coach when their last manager - David Horseman (what a gift!) left his post.

For Helen, sorry, Hannah, Priestfield wouldn`t be a Homer, but, knowing Horseman, she might just know enough to distinguish a Trojan from a Kent Invicta.

But all is far from lost as, so close to the fall of Troy, Helen, sorry, Hannah, might enter the Field of Priests confidently clutching the Medway Myth of disappearing firepower.

This will become a false confidence however. As, heartfelt tragedy surely awaits when she discovers that, despite having travelled the long journey east and finding herself in Kent, she`ll be so near, yet so far, from Paris !

Sorry, couldn`t help it !

That hurt but somehow I couldn't help reading it to the very end.
