Re: Cheltenham Town v Notts County

Watched on sky...thought Ref and commentators biased. Agree Thomas tried to pass one too many too often. [ although a very decent player..] Crosses from corners into the box woeful, as were the crosses generally. Shots on goal....were there any. [apart from the obvious one..]? Overall a loss; but pe...

Re: Crawley Town v Cheltenham Town

So much for optimism; no forward skill; passing poor, especially into final third. Bennet too slow and the early yellow curtailed his 'brashness'. Crawley looked more likley to score; penalty was far too soft, similar shoves on our players all over the pitch resulting in nothing. On this form; playe...

Re: Cheltenham Town v Accrington Stanley

From the safety of an armchair perspective thought overall a decent 3 points. Archer though flatters to deceive; runs into trouble and too many players all too often. Selfish, attempting a wild shot when a quicker slicker pass may have brought a better result. Too slow to trigger a shot up front; de...
