Duncan Ferguson stuns Sheffield Wednesday for first Forest Green Rovers win as he vows they CAN beat the drop

Duncan Ferguson believes his bottom of the table Forest Green Rovers side can beat the drop after picking up their first win in 106 days.

The former Everton, Dundee United and Rangers striker was appointed at the New Lawn at the end of January and was without a win in nine previous attempts. It is the first win for Rovers since December 10 when they defeated Cheltenham at home. Despite the win they remain four points a drift at the bottom of the table and 12 points from safety with just eight games left.

Jordon D'Andre Garrick's 35th minute strike was enough to secure the three points against Darren Moore's side who have now lost their last two. Ferguson, who signed a five-and-a-half year deal at Rovers, believes his side can: "It shows that we are capable of getting results. We deserve more than we have got, today you could see how good the shape was how hard the players have been working. Anything is possible, there are games to play and win and if we can play like that in every game then why can't we win them all?"

Ferguson also told Sky Sports his side put in a "perfect" performance against Wednesday: "I think everybody deserved that today, the boys put in an incredible shift in and it was a proud moment for myself and the fans to topple one of the big boys in the league.

"You've got to be perfect for most of the game and I thought we were perfect for most of the game. They never created any chances, they played long balls in the box and we defended well. We created the more chances, the better chances, we should have been two or three up but the boys were absolutely fantastic today."
