Re: CBC shambles

131 seemed to trade profitably before Covid and the tents then appearing.
Thought he might have explored lowering the ground level at the front which would have mitigated the impact of any structures- service pipes permitting.

Re: Upcoming referee appointments

Interesting Sky Sports episode of Mic’d Up with Ruebyn Ricardo, who has taken charge of our games against Newport and Tranmere this season. Footage of the game between Port Vale and Notts County with referee audio and him in the studio explaining decision-making. Quite interesting. https://youtu.be...

Re: Cheltenham Town v Barrow

People have been slagging him off but I thought Matty did similar to what he normally does today. He makes a nuisance of himself. The difference was we created a couple of chances for him.

Re: Cheltenham Town v Barrow

Thread bare in center mid can't see it being anything but a loss, conceding 1 late on at least Kinsella a big miss. No way will Bennett have his stamina if he replaces him in midfield. I disagree totally. Bennett's stamina isn't in question....it will just take him longer to cover the same distance.

Re: Is it the same old trouble

Whilst he's been a bit part player for a lot of his time at Argyle their new manager has started him lately which it makes it less likely he'll be going anywhere and as others have implied the chance of him coming back here is surely wishful thinking.
