Match Preview: Harrogate Town (A)

All you need to know ahead of first away day!

August 11th 2023FGR Media

It's our first away day of the season on Saturday, as we make the trip to Harrogate Town. Despite back-to-back defeats, Rovers have shown real promise in both fixtures so far this campaign, with David Horseman hoping his side can get off the mark in Yorkshire.

WHAT DAVID SAID:

"Harrogate are a really well organised team. They're a bit more direct in style than the two teams we've played so far.

"They have a couple of really lively frontmen, with a number nine who can get hold of the ball. They haven't conceded a goal yet, so this is going to be a really tough, physical battle."

Listen to David's full pre-Harrogate thoughts, here.

WHAT THEY SAID:

Harrogate boss Simon Weaver told the club's social media: "I've watched Forest Green's games, they're under new management and it's a different style of play, but one that can be very dangerous.

"The manager speaks well about his plans for the team. They've been very dangerous in the first two games, and if they'd have taken their chances, they'd have probably won both."

TEAM NEWS

Luke Daniels and Ryan Inniss will return to the squad after missing out with niggles against Portsmouth in midweek. New signings Alfie Bendle and Reece Welch could make their Rovers debuts.

Jordon Garrick, Reece Brown and Marcel Lavinier remain sidelined.
