It doesn't seem that long ago that Jamie Pitman, pictured whilst at Edgar Street, was running around in mid-field for Hereford United. Now 16 months later he is assistant manager at Forest Green and last night had to speak to the press after Rovers had lost 3-2 at home to Aldershot.
"We feel we haven't really kicked into what we're capable of doing, and that's the frustrating thing at the minute," said Pitman as reported by This is Gloucestershire.
"We've missed too many chances and not defended as well as we could have done, and the players are kicking themselves."
Pitman was unhappy with the Shot's second goal when his 'keeper might have been fouled.
"We were just asking for a bit of fairness because goals change games."
Two former Bulls scored at the Lawn last night. Stuart Fleetwood got the first for Rovers after just ninety seconds but Shot's John Grant found the net twice later in the match.
"I could have scored in the first 10 seconds, then I got my goal, and after that I was disappointed not to grab a few more and help us get the result we wanted," said Fleetwood, the only fit Rovers striker.
"We've been trying to get on top of teams at home and we got the good start, but I think the two goals took the wind out of our sails a bit.
"After they got the man sent off we shouldn't have been conceding to 10 men - that third goal was the one that killed us because it allowed them to shut up shop."
"There were a few tired legs and the games are coming thick and fast, but the squad's good enough to cope with a few people missing.
"We've got some good young lads like Jonathan Smith, who I thought did brilliantly when he came on, and we were good enough to have won the game."
Forest Green Rovers currently lie ninth in the Conference.
