Impress or leave says Owers

Forest Green manager, Gary Owers, has warned his squad that he could let some of them go in the New Year unless they impress in the next three games starting on Monday with the game against Hereford United.

On loan Bristol City striker, Guy Madjo, is one of those players. His spell at the Lawn finishes on December 31st and Owers hasn't decided whether to try and extend his loan spell.

Madjo scored in his first outing for the Grumpers against Aldershot but was sent off later in the game and missed three matches. He is expected to start on Monday as Zema Abbey is injured.

"We've only seen Guy for half a game in the league so we're not going to be rushing into anything," he said.

"From what we've seen in those games and in training he looks like a player, but I'm not going to try and second guess what might happen," Owers told the Gloucester Citizen.

Last Tuesday several other squad players failed to impress in a local cup game.

"To be brutally honest, some of the lads have been here since the summer and I can't wait around forever for them to produce.

"I can accept the other side of the argument, which is that we don't have reserves and some of these lads haven't had many games. But that's not my fault.

"It may be that we'll have to let a few go in January."
