Forest Green Rovers manager Robbie Savage is ecstatic after his team's dominant 3-1 victory over Morecambe. Savage believes his side could have scored even more, stating, "We should have scored ten!" The win sees Forest Green return to the top of the table and maintain their unbeaten start to the season.
Sensational Performance
Speaking to BBC Radio Gloucestershire, a beaming Savage said: "We were absolutely incredible. We needed a reaction. We’re unbeaten in six, but the last two we weren’t our free-flowing selves. Tonight we should have scored 10 goals." Savage was particularly pleased with his team's attacking prowess and their ability to create numerous scoring opportunities.
Responding to Setbacks
Despite conceding a stunning goal from Morecambe's Gwion Edwards in the 23rd minute, Savage praised his players' resilience. "The reaction was exactly what I asked for. We conceded, but the lads didn’t let their heads drop — they just ploughed on." This positive attitude and determination proved crucial in turning the game around.
