We have had a wake up call! The defeat at Northampton showed only the best will do.

Concentration and discipline must be maintained throughout the game, however long it lasts.

This is not the time for blame however.Two exciting home games are in prospect against Cheltenham and Tranmere and all of us must be at our best.

Yes I mean all of us, the crowd in every stand. In a local derby noisy support is essential.

Visiting fans must not out shout us. Newport fans did, and the taunt about being in a library came from the away fans. The officials must know we are there.

It is part of home advantage. We give them to easy a life. Go to Lincoln or Grimsby and you can see what I mean.

It is no coincidence we scarcely are awarded so few penalties. Another good reason to be noisy is to drown out the Cheltenham chant concerning Forest Green.

It consists of just three words , the first of which has no place in football. I hope they have grown out of it but if not can we please drown it out, and of course stick to proper Forest Green standards.

Saturday is a wonderful chance to show Cheltenham how to play football and how to behave.

Our old friends Tranmere arrive on Tuesday with a large score to settle. They will bring with them James Norwood.

We know he can be annoying but we all are well aware he is a true match winner. Look at his goalscoring record. He should have been better managed and not released.
