Re: Referee for Burton - he owes us one.......

He hardly gave us decisions the like of which we have had to suffer. No offside goals, no dodgy penalties against or stonewallers not given. Not even any constant, repeated fouls/wrestling not given. Just a few helpful free kicks here and there. We are due well more than that. Have to say, I think ...

Re: Steve Evans

Our own manager will also be thrust further into the limelight if he manages to retain our League One status.
Nobody could begrudge him a move if someone came in for him.
But hey let's worry about Saturday first.

Re: Destiny is in our hands

The only big error Darrell has made was his experimental team set up against Carlisle. Saying that it looked good in training the day before...well! Hindsight is wonderful of course and the biggest challenge he's had is having a powder puff strike force for half the season. You don't win too many ma...

Re: Cheltenham Town v Carlisle United

Talking of tall strikers who give the impression that they are standing in treacle where high balls are concerned.

Does anyone recall Chris Camden who would be in gold medal position for me.
He was a giant of a man who scored a lot of goals for Stalybridge Celtic but was a rare northern camel for us.

Re: Teams around us - Thread to season end

A win last night and we’d be on cloud nine. Problem is to win a match we need to score a goal and to do that we need to get a shot or header on target. Roll on Saturday which is another " biggest match of the season" ....until Tuesday when Burton will become "the biggest match of the...

Re: Information for fans travelling to Oxford on Saturday

I know that most teams have prolonged celebrations when they score, but can it be counter productive as perhaps it was today as it gave Oxford time to gather their thoughts.
Sometimes maybe it's better to get on with it whilst the opposition is still shell shocked.
