Brad Collins 7

Great save from Mo Eisa at the start of the second-half kept Forest Green in front at a crucial time.

Lee Collins 7

Looked relatively comfortable throughout the game at right-back.

Farrend Rawson 8

Dealt with the danger of Mo Eisa. Another cultured display and some vital blocks.

Haydn Holls 7

Solid as a rock and  at ease at the heart of Rovers' defence.

Scott Laird 7

Easily his best game in a Forest Green shirt. Dependable at left-back and got forward well.

Isaiah Osbourne 7

Never in trouble and a man-mountain in the middle of the FGR engine room.

Chris Clements 7

Recalled to the team and put in a quality performance. Replaced with 10 minutes to go.

Gavin Gunning 8

Eyebrows were raised when Gunning was moved into midfield, but the Irishman bossed things, vindicating manager Mark Cooper’s tactical switch.

Reece Brown 9

Brought in from the cold and warmed Forest Green hearts with an outstanding display. The cultured midfield was the outstanding player on the pitch and fully deserved his standing ovation when substituted with 17 minutes to go.

Christian Doidge 8

Bagged his 22nd goal of the season with a sublime first-half winning strike. Worked his socks-off and was dependable in both boxes.

Reuben Reid 7

Held the ball up well and his link up play with strike partner Doidge caused Cheltenham problems all afternoon.
