Forest Green Rovers 1-1 Altrincham

  • Published

Tom Marshall's second half strike secured a point for Altrincham at promotion-chasing Forest Green.

Rovers went ahead after just seven minutes when Kris Guthrie poked in from Elliott Frear's cross.

Simon Richman had a chance to level on the half-hour, but skied his effort after he had latched onto Marshall's knock-down from a corner.

But they finally breached the final line of defence when Marshall converted from a Shaun Densmore free-kick.

Forest Green boss Ady Pennock told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:

Pennock on Forest Green v Altrincham

"We startled brightly and scored a very good goal. I thought Kurtis Guthrie and Jon Parkin were a handful, especially in first half, but we conceded a sloppy goal.

"After that we were huffing and puffing and, in all honesty, I didn't think it was very good at all. It was disappointing and we were deservedly booed off. I totally understand the frustration from supporters.

"I was very frustrated because we are not killing teams off. We're dominating, but don't have that killer instinct in the box."
