I expect it will be in the 2nd half but it seems Trollope is going to be given some youth a chance over the coming season.

Starting XI: Maxted, Racine, Bennett, Clough, Traore, Chemlal, Sinclair, Kelly, Frear, Doidge, Moore.

Bench: Carter, Noble, Jefford, Elliott, Hall, Hickford, McGrory, Mehew, Anderson, Pinnock.

So, Adam Le Fondre starts.

His last competitive match for Cardiff City came in January 2015.

Since then he’s spent time on loan at Wolves and Bolton.

But tonight he starts in what is a largely inexperienced side.

I never thought it was a first team fixture anyway

I thought i read its a second team aswell somewhere, the first team will play at Shrewsbury on Saturday.

20:20 ANOTHER PENALTY!
FGR awarded another penalty for a shoulder charge inside the box.

20:21 GOAL!
This time there's no mistake.Kieffer Moore stepped up this time and he tucked the ball away into the left bottom corner, a fine penalty.

Goal 1-1

Kiefer Moore’s penalty is slotted low to Wilson’s right, who cannot quite get down in time this time.

It seemed an innocuous challenge to concede the penalty right on the edge of the box.

But Forest Green are level!
