Wigan Athletic v Cheltenham Town

[CTFCfan99]

Not sure I agree with taking Pett off. One of the few who's looked calm on the ball so far

[RS1978]

As has been said I hope Lloyd is OK...looked like an innocuous thing tbh...

Local Derby for Harrop and Nuttall?

[Shade]

Ref just giving everything against Nuttall because he's a big man, it seems. Why don't big men ever get penalised like that against us, I wonder?

[RS1978]

Obvs ref taking the head injury protocol seriously

[Shade]

Is the ref f#!$ blind or just another #$£!?!

[Shade]

HOORAAAAAYYYYY. Only took one of our players being bodyslammed to finally get a foul

[CTFCfan99]

Ref is a tosser, standard. We'll do well to hang on here

[HamTown]

Feels like it's coming.....

Nutall looks really mediocre

[Shade]

Not a good performance but a real battle

[Shade]

Refs obviously forgotten his cards tonight.

[Shade]

No! McMananaman now gets the yellow he deserved a couple of mins ago

[Shade]

Nuttall injured and Keena had the shirt almost ripped off his back in the area.

[Shade]

Well I will take that point. 4 unbeaten, onto Wycombe

[CTFCfan99]

That's a real bonus point. Poor performance in all honesty, luckily Wigan weren't really at it either.

[Si Robin]

I'll always take a point away from home.

Not the best performance, but enough and we go to Wycombe on Tuesday.

Hope Lloydy's ok.

[HamTown]

Got to be happy with the point

Bradbury MoTM for me. Pett classy again

[1985CTFC]

Point it is. Dug in and got something. On to the Wycombe game with an extra days rest over Wycombe.

[Shade]

So, still in the zone, on goal difference with a game in hand. Need Portsmouth to beat Charlton 11-0 tomorrow...

[CTFCfan99]

Probably the first time all season I'm feeling happy after dropping points from a winning position. Extra days rest now before Wycombe. Let's av em

Looked like a groin injury to me, so could be trouble

[Jerry St Clair]

Lloyd fell really awkwardly going up for header and got up very slowly. That was a couple of minutes before he went down for treatment. He didn’t look, er, comfortable in the groin area, shall we say.

[duckers]

Well done boys, very hard earned point on the road. Bradbury solid at the back all game as well as Davies and Freestone. Missed Pett's compure in the middle when he went off although Harrop showed glimpses of his quality

He was hauling the legs of his shorts up and looking at his nuts while sat on the ground, I thought. Hopefully he's just sore from a bit of a smack.

[Jerry St Clair]

That’s the sort of point that survivals are made of. Under the cosh for the whole second half, virtually zero attacking threat but bags of endeavour with several players out on their feet at the end.

We’d have lost that by 3 or 4 back in September.

Yep, I’m surprised Lloyd hasn’t been rested before now. Hopefully Darrell decided he needs to take a bit of a precautionary time out and it’s nothing more than that.

After the final whistle the guy on the commentary said "the game was a bit of a non-event"....! Shameful... For me, it was a really solid performance. If he belongs to Radio Gloucetershire (or "Proctorshire", as it was before "Cheltenhamshire") - I would like tell him to better appreciate who he works for - and what really matters.

[RegencyCheltenhamSpa]

Just checked the score. A mix of pleasant surprise and disappointment. Odd feeling but shows how far we have come.

Hard fought point in the end. And DC has said he thought there was a foul in the build up to their goal, as did I.

I've rarely been as tense through an entire game this season as I was tonight. It was a hard watch, because Wigan had so much of the ball.

[RS1978]

Hope that Lloydy's ok - he went down on his haunches with no-one around him, but was assessed and did come back on for the rest of the half and was running/jumping fine.

After DC's interview I can see why he was irate about the foul on Taylor - looks like a shoulder barge by #8 Matt Smith and Taylor retaliates. If Taylor had made more of it then foul might have been given, but there were chances to clear the ball before it went in. Maybe DC should have brought on Harrop and Nuttall at HT, but I'm being really picky.

2 shots on goal/1 scored isn't bad for that performance - if we stay up by one point, then the performance doesn't matter.

Maybe Taylor had to do the full Maradona swan dive to get that decision Yes it was nervous, but Wigan only had 2 shots on target - Magennis had a great chance in the 81st minute though. Couldn't do a lot with all that possession at home

Also - first time on iFollow and ANOTHER alternative spelling of Darrell Clarke 's name?

“Set to report a significant loss for the last financial year, full details on the way in the coming days.”

Not the news I wanted to read, thank you.

Good gates, Goodwin sold, where did the money go? Unless paying off Elliot was expensive

It will be the last financial year so Goodwin sale would not be included, May sale may also not be included but could include the training ground purchase.

[shevates]

For around 45 minutes we were out of the bottom 4 never thought I'd see that after 11 games. Not a good game to watch but not in the entertainment business at present, a good point, well done lads

Could it be that the loans that WE took at the start of the season either had large fees/ penalty clauses to be paid if the loans were cut short?

Tbh all I really want to know is "What is the plan going forward to reduce this significant financial loss" and "Is the day-to-day running of the Club in any immediate danger"

[Alf]

That’s the sort of game that, pre DC, we would have taken the lead, lost the lead and gone on to lose the game. It wasn’t a classic performance from either side but we battled away and held on to a valuable point. Neither keeper had a lot to do which sums up the performance from both sides. We are unlikely to win every game but fighting hard for a valuable point is the next best thing!
Well done DC and the lads.
