• Lewer targets Williams' return

  RYAN WILLIAMS could be in line for a shock return to The Lawn on the eve of this Saturday's crucial trip to Dagenham and Redbridge. Williams proved to be a talismanic figure during his short loan tenure at The Lawn. However, the 26-year-old Welshmen was recalled to Bristol Rovers after playing seven times for Forest Green. Meanwhile, loan player Andy Harris will remain at The Lawn until the end of the season. The combative midfielder had been expected to return to Chester City. Lewer has been busy this week in his quest for fresh faces. Last week Lewer missed out on striker Brian Quailey, who left Stevenage to rejoin Nuneaton Borough. Keith Gilroy, who is currently at Darlington, has also been sounded out as a target. Gilroy quit Scarborough three weeks ago. * FOREST GREEN are running a supporters coach to Saturday's critical clash with Dagenham and Redbridge at Victoria Road. read more
