Cheltenham legends Ben Tozer and ahem, Rob Lainton released by Wrexham...

PCrobin

Only slight surprise for me is we haven’t offered Williams a new deal if we’re all convinced that Ferry is leaving? I’m sure Williams could be a more than decent League 2 LB..

Just so long as he's not top scorer...I don't want a midfielder being top scorer...

Hopefully if we can keep Taylor fit the omens are good. 7 in 11 with a dodgy hamstring bodes well for us next season in a lower league!

PCrobin

Someone on FB reckoned Harry Pell is being released by Wimbledon. Maybe worth a shout? We do need someone a bit nasty in midfield, been lacking a bit of aggression in the middle of the pitch..

PCrobin

Would be good if we can persuade these two to stay. Sercombe should be able to get 20 goals at least in League 2 right ?

PCrobin

Gutted, they couldn’t have given any more in that game, but as others have said, we didn’t get relegated because of today. We had a mountain to climb after those first 11 games and we almost made it. Hope we can persuade Clarke to stay and Matty Taylor too. His 7 goals in 11 games made such a differ...

I've got a programme from every CTFC game I've been to so I'm a bit sad about this. But I understand why they're doing this and the quality has dropped off massively in the last couple of years, so I've just been buying them out of habit rather than enjoying reading the content tbh...

PCrobin

Absolutely, could be a lifeline for a lot of smaller clubs, us included. Makes me laugh how the Premier League teams claim "exhaustion" or "fixture congestion" as the reason behind this, but they're more than happy to fly their squads all around the world taking part in pointless...

PCrobin

In all rounds from next season. Premier League teams can apparently dictate this even though they don't enter the competition until the 3rd round. How is this acceptable?

Probably not a good idea with Southwood nursing a broken toe..

PCrobin

Thanks for doing the calculations! Is it to our advantage that Lincoln & Peterborough both have a lot to play for and will be as nervous as we are? Carlisle & Gas games proved we're no good against teams who could take their foot off the gas!

PCrobin

Bodes well for us at Stevenage if Burton managed to win there on Saturday! If we're still in the fight by then. Mind you I've given up trying to predict results in this league..

PCrobin

Dilemma with Thomas now, he made such a difference. So do we start with him on Saturday or is he still better coming off the bench? But then we don't want it to be too late and he's chasing a lost cause...

PCrobin

I know it's obviously not a guarantee of success, as Carlisle have been relegated, but watching us against them and also the likes of Exeter & Wycombe recently (comfortable mid table sides), it's noticeable to me how much more physically powerful and fitter (and larger) the players in these team...

PCrobin

Yep Kelly looked useful - height, combined with physical presence & mobility. None of our forwards offer any of that. Sorry but I think Keena is done, I see no reason to keep him at all. Let him go back to a level that suits him (Irish League).

PCrobin

We probably can't hold onto them, but the only ones I would want to keep next season are Southwood, Freestone & Ferry. Plus young Thomas of course. The rest just aren't good enough even for League 2.

Johnson style rebuilding project required, if Darrell is up to the job?

PCrobin

".....and we have to make sure we put in a performance for the full 90." well take the players out who haven't being performing! I wouldn't mind seeing how big Joe and AK get on starting a match. Would also like to see JT thrown in at the start and see what he is made of when not just a c...

Yep I’m sick of twats like Exeter running on our pitch and chucking fireworks. Stewards and police need to toughen up a bit.

PCrobin

Just back from the game. Still absolutely fuming. Fighting for our lives and a decision like that is a massive kick in the teeth. A draw would have been a fair result as they were all over us in the first half tbf. Changes at half time made a massive difference but we are desperately short up front ...

PCrobin

Impressive work. I'd heard Rumours you were going to do something like this...

PCrobin

There were a lot of them (enough to take up some of the CF) last season. Few idiots ran on the pitch and chucked a flare when they equalised. Which put their team off just enough to let Caleb put us 2-1 up from our next corner...oh how we laughed..

PCrobin

Rob Lainton, from Bury I think? I remember he had a good game, despite the 3-3 scoreline. That point went a long way to keeping us up that season. We seemed to get a lot of high scoring games at Wycombe until this season's dismal performance! We had Scott Brown back in on loan from Wycombe as first ...

PCrobin

they could share it, just play each other all day in practice games

PCrobin

Positive news, the shop and the online version definitely need freshening up a bit. I popped in to buy a new mug before the Port Vale game (broke my "Champions" one - bad omen?) and it looked like the same old stuff that they've had in there for years..

PCrobin

Yep me too. When I was a teenager in the 80s I used to go to West Ham with my Dad, until I was in my twenties and the Premier League started up. Until then they were still a proper community club. When I moved to Cheltenham and started watching the Robins I realised that's what I'd been missing and ...

PCrobin

Yep in Manchester and London prem games I reckon half the stadium is full of tourists just having a day out. They're the only ones prepared to shell out the obscene ticket prices!

PCrobin

I think Brooker and Russell would both be in my all time favourite CTFC 11. But maybe I'm a bit biased because 07/08 was my first season watching Town

Still remember Brooker's late winner against Bristol Rovers, we all went absolutely mental in the PRE !

PCrobin

Oh yes I'm not going to feel guilty if we stay up because of the mess they're in! Whichever way you look at it they didn't play by the rules, so tough..

PCrobin

I am starting to think that another Reading points deduction is the only way we are going to stay in League One..

PCrobin

Nuttall hat trick come on!

PCrobin

Frustrating with our striker injury situation surely we should have been after a deal like this?

PCrobin

dunno, sprained an ankle getting up off a bench....?!

PCrobin

Trouble is how long would it take a free agent to get match fit? Amazing how Nuttall managed to get injured without ever actually getting on the pitch

Does it for me.

One of my favourite midfield line ups ever. Felt like a real kick in the teeth when Josh's son scored against us last week

Brian Graham at Partick Thistle too
