**EL GLOSICO**
Moderators: Admin, Ralph, asl, Robin
A game we must simply turn up for or we will get heavily beaten, after watching us against Morecambe I am very worried as a good side that day would have done us on the break in that second half. We've got to turn it up and it has to start now, we need big performances from everybody and not just Luke Varney, no excuses it has to change.

Whilst defeat will be galling, it is expected. Obviously a hammering by four or five would be dreadful, I personally would not consider a regulation one or two goal defeat away at a promotion hunting side a worse result than failure to beat Morecambe at home.

So you don't think it is worse to get 0 points than 1 point from a game?RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:Whilst defeat will be galling, it is expected.

Agree with RCS of course you go out to win every match and you want to see 100% effort but losing to teams like FGR away would not be the reason we go down. No one expects us to get anything from the game. As long as the effort is there and we are competetive i will be happy. A repeat performance of the cup game we played there last month will not be acceptable.

It’s all relative. If we lost 1-0 away at Man City, but only drew at home to Bognor Regis, I would say the second result is more unacceptable than the first, yes.SHANDY VOR wrote:So you don't think it is worse to get 0 points than 1 point from a game?RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:Whilst defeat will be galling, it is expected.

Thanks, but I wouldn't be too gloomy. We're hardly putting sides away with ease and have drawn a lot of games. But that's what happens when you get rid of Doidge without any replacement coming in.Malabus wrote:In a gentry fashion I like to offer (in advance) my congratulations to FGR; Dale Vince, OTC and giraffe for their win on Saturday.

Since posting my forecast I've becoming a little less bullish of a FGR win.theidlerich wrote:Malabus wrote:In a gentry fashion I like to offer (in advance) my congratulations to FGR; Dale Vince, OTC and giraffe for their win on Saturday.

Been reading both forums and I came across interesting post [here] that since MD took up appointment he has had a tough set of fixtures against teams in promotion zone.
It could well be that Cheltenham are in a false position and will start to come good with that extra week's rest.
And of course Cheltenham have a slight advantage because MD is a new manager with no track record that Mark Cooper can work on.
ElGlosico games always bring out the best in players from both teams but I still believe it will be a FGR home win. Perhaps with one goal in it but not more.

As many said, Gary should have been sacked then.Robin wrote:Bring out the best of both teams are you serious? The lack of performance at home last season was shocking, no effort from our lads back in April.

One of the best Managers in the Division according to the then Chairman.
The performance was worse than the Coventry one - at least then we were playing a decent team. FGR were there for the taking in April and we let them do what they wanted. No excuse for that in any game, regardless of the perceived rivalry. It was the game that turned me on Gary Johnson, and many others I'm sure.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:As many said, Gary should have been sacked then.Robin wrote:Bring out the best of both teams are you serious?

As for this week - I'm struggling to give a toss, I really am. Evening plans mean I couldn't go if I wanted to, but I'm not sure I even want to.

I've been up there for the last two league games but I won't be this year. My mate can't go so I have very little compulsion to go on my own, knowing the ground/hassle of it and our run of form. Saying that, we could get stuffed or this could be the turning point for our season. I certainly feel that all three results are possible.
I might have changed my mind on the day but as it's all ticket I certainly won't be going.

Duff must send them out pumped up. I would happily end the game with ten or even nine men if it means the fight was there. The sprout Winchester must be crushed.

Pretty much my thoughts Shade. Can't be arsed to drive all the way into Cheltenham to get a ticket in advance to have to stand in that crappy terrace down the side.Shade wrote:I've been up there for the last two league games but I won't be this year.

Working in Stroud and with some of my customers being FGR fans I’m only going so I can comment having witnessed first hand our inevitable defeat.
Hoping we put up a decent fight to take something into the Oldham game.

Some of the away terrace now has seating and a roof.Sprout Picker wrote:Pretty much my thoughts Shade.

Cheltenham fans sit or stand where they like at TNL. Always has been and always will be the case, despite quizzes on the door and threats of arrest.Robin wrote:Seating and roof segment is sold out though.

Did you pick up the article by John Light in the Stroud News & J re the behaviour of CTFC fans! Poor, there always will be some idiots sans brains causing hazzle amongst fans of any team [these should be better routed out and banned for a considerable time - ie report to a Police station Saturdays at 3pm - although difficult to find one these days..]. But to allude to CTFC fans being disgracefuul behaved is nonsense; agree with the sentiment foul language though - that certainly does not have a place in a pleasant society.
Surprised at John L though; his articles are usually more measured; disappointing.
[I'm sure OTC would have something to say on this??]
