There's no questioning that Forge have been the best team in the CPL since inception and have been the most consistent team this year. However, I don't think they're miles ahead of teams like us. I honestly think they were lucky to win the final last year. We were the better team in the second half, took the lead in extra time and then allowed two wonder goals which had at least a hint of goalkeeper error to them.
They are a deep team and tough to beat at home. And our lack of playoff success against them doesn't lie. But they aren't without weakness. I don't think they're the same at CB as they were last year and they don't have a go-to striker at the moment. I think the big question is whether we will be healthy and have our key players in form when we play them. If Jay Herdman can continue to shine and we get Kamdem. Kobza and Aird back and in form, anything can happen in 90 minutes.
