Team news, ticket info and more

October 13th 2023FGR Media

Tuesday night's draw and penalty shootout win at Walsall was a step in the right direction for Rovers - who will be looking to carry that on this Saturday as Colchester United visit The New Lawn.

Here are the key details ahead of this weekend's action in Nailsworth.

WHAT DAVID SAID

"Tuesday night gave us a good chance to give some game time for some that need it. There will be a few changes to the starting lineup tomorrow and we think that is positive -and we have seen more players returning from injuries out on the grass this week.

"We have to concentrate on our own processes and tactical approach."

WHAT BEN GARNER SAID

"Forest Green have had some really good performances, and haven’t taken the points that they’d have wanted in those games," Colchester's Head Coach told their club website.

"You can see the quality in their squad and there’s several players that have played at a really high level, and they’ve also got some really talented young players too.”

TEAM NEWS

There's positive news on the injury front, as Jacob Maddox and Callum Morton came through the Walsall game in midweek unscathed.

Charlie McCann is away on international duty with Northern Ireland U21s, while Reece Brown is sidelined for around eight weeks with a hamstring problem.

Jordon Garrick is set to return to non-contact training next week, as is Callum Jones, while Nathan Holland has been doing some straight line running in the latter stages of this week.

Jordan Moore-Taylor remains out.
