Forest Green Rovers can beat Derby, says skipper
Published 00:00 01/01/09 By By James Nursey
Lee Fowler, the Forest Green Rovers skipper, claims his side can beat Derby - because they have better players.
The Conference club play host to Derby in the Cup on Saturday in the Championship strugglers' first game since boss Paul Jewell quit.
The Rams are in danger of a second successive relegation after just one win in nine league games.
Their expensive strike-force of Rob Hulse, Nathan Ellington, Emanuel Villa and Luke Varney has yet to fire. And midfielder Fowler, 25, believes his tiny club from Gloucestershire can pile on the misery.
The former Coventry trainee said: "Ability-wise I think we have more than them in an attacking sense. I fancy our players against theirs."
"I have told my mates to put some money on us."
