My 6 year old son, who was at the game today made observation " why do cheltenham just hit the ball up in the air all the time " . He has a point . Why ?
The complete lack of desire to play anything other than hoof ball today means only one outcome was likely. Centre backs had our two forwards in their pocket , yet no change in tactics. The odd time CBB got it out wide, final product was poor ...
We have come down to playing , at best, moderate conference standard, and there we shall be playing next season .
I don't blame Russell Milton : inherited a sick dog, only so much you can do. The Buckle debacle completely backfired. Maybe Yates would have kept us up, albeit in a painful way - who knows.
I've been season ticket holder for 10 yrs .. I will still go when were in the vanarama - cannot desert your club. But boy do I hope we have a clear out I the Summer....
Very 'non league'

We can take losing, but losing playing hoof-ball on an awful pitch is the least acceptable way to lose.

Someone needs to ask RM and the players straight up; "why the hoof-ball". Only that way will we know how much impact the pitch has on our 'style' of 'play'.

The pitch didn't prevent Plymouth waltzing through our midfield at will.
But opponents can score on it , with just one visit - it's no excuse . 3 well taken goals today. Did we really ever look like creating chances today ? Nope ,.. Last week, we only created chances during a last minute siege after it took an opponent to score an own goal and then we couldn't hit a barn door ..
How many decent crosses did we have today ? Maybe one or two. How many shots on target ? 1... We are simply just rubbish and not capable to adapt to conditions of pitch or weather, whereas our competitors are. Period.

No one is disagreeing with that. The point is, there should be no reason to have to adapt or have this debate.
