Forest Green Rovers Held to Draw in Manager Robbie Savage’s Absence

Forest Green Rovers' struggle to secure a victory in the National League continues, stretching their winless run to four games after a 1-1 home draw against Wealdstone. The match was notable for the absence of manager Robbie Savage, who is currently permitted to speak with League One club Peterborough following the dismissal of their previous manager, Luke Williams, as confirmed by chairman Dale Vince.

The visitors from Wealdstone took an early lead just before the 30-minute mark when Fejiri Okenabirhie, making his full debut, capitalised at the far post from a flick-on by Joe Newton. Despite being behind, Forest Green, under the temporary guidance of Jonathan Gould, responded well and equalised seven minutes before half-time. Tate Campbell scored his first goal of the season by converting a cross from Sean Etaluku. The home side continued to press, with captain Kyle McAllister nearly putting them ahead when his powerful shot struck the post. Ultimately, neither team managed to find a winning goal, resulting in a shared point each.
