Just wait until 28th September

Yes that is very true and why it is so important that the club try to build some sort of connection with those fans now when that are still coming rather than wait until the numbers inevitably dwindle when the weather turns and if we aren't in any sort of playoff contention.

As has been stated by most, first half turgid and a million miles from the high energy, high press MF stated is his preferred style of play. The introduction of Archer definitely improved us in terms of energy and pressing. So pleased for Bradders, MotM by a mile for me even before the goal, just a ...

Warwickshire Robin

Really good question and I think there are going to be loads of different suggestions and none the same! I would like to see us stick with the 4-3-3 from Tuesday especially at home, so I would go:- Evans Kinsella Bakare Bradbury (although suspect it may be Shipley but as I haven't seen him play I w...

Agree Shade. Now we know what we have to work with this season, until January anyway, we quickly have to decide what our base formation is with this squad whether that be 4 at the back or 5 (in my opinion we look better with 4 so far) and eight or nine of the starting 11 that go pretty much every ga...

Warwickshire Robin

Really well played in 2nd half against 10 men. Knocked it around well and used the extra man to full advantage. Great to get some end product from JT and Bradders again making it more confusing as to why he constantly gets frozen out so quickly with a MotM performance for me over the 90 mins. Nice £...

Warwickshire Robin

Another nice goal. See what happens with some energy. Great to see Thomas creating good chances

Warwickshire Robin

Clueless and rudderless

Warwickshire Robin

Interesting line up, 4-3-3? Also interesting that despite 9 changes Thomas still on the bench.

Warwickshire Robin

I think the players of yester year were as fit but just in a different way to those today. Now we have 5 subs how many players actually play all the minutes? Back in the day with one sub and smaller squads they had to play pretty much every minute. Also, I may be remembering through rose tinted spec...

Warwickshire Robin

tbf those games in the 60’s were total dog5hit and light years away from todays football matches. Mostly I would suggest, because they were not given the luxury of playing on the manicured bowling green that today's mob get to play on. Also they were not given the protection from the ref that today...

Sound familiar?

And pretty much all those players brought in by the current regime, so what is the point he's making here?

Anyone heard any whispers? Looks like even JP hasn't heard any, he doesn't appear to have posted anything Cheltenham related since the final whistle last Saturday!! No Robins Report yet this week either after nothing last week, will there be one coming Si? I'm getting withdrawal symptoms or is ther...

Warwickshire Robin

Worst game of rugby I've seen in ages!!

Second to everything, bullied in midfield, no service to the front at all. Stubbs looked solid and Bakare and Laing did ok under the physical barrage but very disappointing overall.

Long season ahead on the evidence so far.

Warwickshire Robin

Aiden Keena came on as a late sub in the Conference League for St Pats last night. Seems to be behind a 16 year old in the pecking order there though, albeit one who has some big expectations on the other side of the Irish Sea.

Warwickshire Robin

Really not sure what to make of this right now! Assuming he comes in either tomorrow or, presumably, for Walsall, who drops out? Maybe Bennett moves forward into holding midfield? Of course he may not come in straight away? It's a long season and we have little to no cover in defence. We prefer to ...

Warwickshire Robin

I read Michael Flynn's interview on Saturday and sensed real frustration in it not just the result but everything going on at the moment. I have just watched it now to see if I was reading to much into the written words but I still get impression that he is a very frustrated man. From conceding the ...

Warwickshire Robin

You sense a lot of frustration in that interview not just at losing the game but off field as well. The fact he twice mentions not having analyst seems a pointed dig at those above him. Just hope that it gets sorted and isn't the start of things going sideways already otherwise we will be looking at...

Warwickshire Robin

Well if the evidence of the first two games is anything to go by we are in for a roller coaster ride this season! Very concerning messages coming from the manager afterwards. Having to get rid our only central defensive cover in order to bring in (I assume) central defensive cover and a player who w...

Warwickshire Robin

Decent effort I thought, shame we conceded 2 late goals which makes it look a lot more comfortable for Plymouth than it actually was. Day looked good in goal, Sohna and Archer didn't look out of their depth against quality opposition. A few interesting things to come out of it for me. First MF seem...

Warwickshire Robin

The big concern for me is that here we are eight days from the season kicking off and I still couldn't tell you what formation we will be playing let alone what our best eleven is. We seem to still want to play five at the back but only have six players listed as defenders and one of those (Bennett)...

Warwickshire Robin

I think it must come down to inconveniencing anyone who actually wants to go and attend these games live?!! Pretty much scuppers any plans I had to go the Tranmere and Gillingham away games anyway!!

Warwickshire Robin

Yesterday showed the best and worst of what we can expect. Going forward we looked really good, played out from the back, tidy passing through Pett and Sohna but also the option to go high with Pell. The concerns though were also obvious, with both wing backs bombing forward it left loads of space ...

Newport have sacked Graham Coughlan. Seems like there's been a disagreement there over something. One of a few clubs not to make a single signing yet this summer. According to the Newport website they signed Courtney Baker Richardson yesterday who became their ninth summer signing? I mean my post w...

Warwickshire Robin

Yeah - I think I've seen mention of a young Stoke goalie who ended up elsewhere. Name completely escapes me now though. Tommy Simpkin, England U20 keeper gone to Walsall. I thought it might have been him but he's a Walsall lad apparently and Stoke seem to be building a bit of a relationship with Wa...

What I find frustrating about this can be summed up in the population numbers for Lincoln and Cheltenham, and then comparing those figures with average League attendance for both clubs: Cheltenham population 116,000 Lincoln population 110,000 Lincoln City FC average attendance 2023/24 = 8,400 Chelt...

Warwickshire Robin

Away from debating who the trialists were, one more observation from Friday from me, that all white kit looks fantastic, shame we don't wear it more often.

Warwickshire Robin

Observations from me from last night, all to be taken into context of being the first preseason game and level of opposition:- 1) Bennett and Young in particular look like real vocal leaders on the pitch, always talking and organising. Evans pretty vocal too. 2) New wingbacks looked good going forwa...

Warwickshire Robin

It's funny how a week ago the noise was 'why are we signing all these old guys, why aren't we getting youngsters with potential sell on value', now its all 'why are we buying these inexperienced kids when we need experience'?!?!?

Warwickshire Robin

According to the Chesterfield website our game at their place on 21st September will be live on Sky with a 12.30 kick off.

Ah so it wasn't for the money then? And there was me thinking Huddersfield was more north than Birmingham, won't be making that silly mistake again!
