Forest Green manager Jim Harvey will regret missed chances even if his team win at Histon to achieve a highest Blue Square Premier placing of seventh.

"It's a major achievement this year, there's no doubt about that," Harvey told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.

"Having said that, we could have done better because the games that were disappointing were games against teams in the bottom half of the league."

Rovers' previous best Conference finish was ninth under Colin Addison in 2003.

Harvey added: "If we can keep the majority of what we have this year and add to it next year, then we could turn up expecting to do reasonably well again. But that's a big 'if'."
