Did we know this about Marvin Brown? Not sure I did! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly9rn95r20o Marvin has now sadly passed away. My thoughts are with Marvin’s two young girls and his partner Alexis, his wider family and all his friends at this very sad time. The ‘Go Fund Me’ fundraiser for t...

Imagine the reaction if we manage to get 3 points ok Saturday, be a real feel good factor around the club That said expecting alot of misguided "we'll be challenging the Championship in 3 years" Tactically, one of the things the Team will have to master on Saturday is the wind and rain. I...

Lord Elpuz

Very welcome news.

One thing is for sure … we won’t be selling our best players on the cheap.

Dyche and Garlick had a well noted falling out in their final years at Burnley. According to informed sources: Overall impression • For most of Dyche’s time under Garlick, the relationship was strong and allowed Burnley to achieve well above what many expected given their resources. • Tension seems...

Lord Elpuz

The new manager appointment will be a last roll of the EFL dice for this season - and if the Board get it wrong, we will have 3 seasons (including what remains of this season) of uncertainty, rebuilding and churn.

Lord Elpuz

Sean Dyche.

No one would expect that. We need a miracle. Mike Garlick might just be the magician.

EDIT:
Just noticed this idea was already posted/predicted in another thread.

Lord Elpuz

If I was GJ I’d be off anyway. Why would a man who’s achieved so much in his career have to put up with so much discrediting at his time in life. If it is true, then I wish you a long and happy retirement Gary. Your efforts in 2015/16 will never be forgotten here. Although I believe Gary had overst...

Accrington, like us, are putting up a fight. Both defences worked hard to shut out threats, so it was good news Cheltenham’s defence kept a clean sheet, which they deserved. Hutchinson’s goal was sheer quality and Bristol Rovers’ (temporary?) loss is our gain. I can see signs of improvement, it’s no...

Lord Elpuz

I thought our referee v Accrington performed at a very high standard throughout. She kept right up with play and was consistent with her decisions. Would be very happy to see her as referee at any Cheltenham game.

Lord Elpuz

I thought young Freddy was excellent at Plymouth and again v Accrington. He’s a physical player who reads the game, stands his ground well, and he’s definitely in the Dave Bird mould. With the experience he’s gaining, he will only get better. We genuinely have a crop of youngsters coming through tha...

Lord Elpuz

I enjoyed that second half. The youngsters were magnificent, Diallo grew in confidence very quickly and was my man of the match, the lad has a real future and I would have no qualms about him covering for an in-match injury to Day. I don’t ever recall us having so many home grown players that could ...

Lord Elpuz

I get the feeling the ‘player recruitment and selling’ business model should have improved because of the new ownership. Previously, we had to sell our best players to survive. It may not be the case now, but reading between the lines, it is likely that someone has not done what was expected - most ...

Lord Elpuz

The reality is that it's not just one person to blame but one person is causing more issues than any other. Also it's pretty clear who Jon is implying is at the heart of it. I've also explained on other posts what is happening within the club and has been for a while in other posts. I see what you ...

Young Isaac definitely has credentials we need. Looking at The Gas Forum, those who chose to be complimentary about him say he’s a creative player who can pick a pass. I have disregarded the negatives simply because he was part of the Rovers squad who were relegated last season & as we know, a s...

I managed to get Sky+ back on with about 40 minutes of the game played. The sound is dreadful and the commentary is about 20 seconds ahead of the picture. It’s like having Nostradamus in my living room.

Lord Elpuz

On the subject of players who had Peterborough United and Cheltenham Town links: One of my favourite CTFC players of the last 20 years, a left footed goalscoring winger, with an exquisite ‘shimmy’ to go past defenders, was Josh Low. He didn’t enjoy his brief time at Peterborough United, so Jordan ne...

Lord Elpuz

I will offer a slightly different perspective. I thought we competed well in the first half, but I feel sure everyone will agree we were playing against 12. Once the bookings started coming, we had too many players afraid to compete for fear of a red card. The second half gave us an opportunity to t...

I’m hoping the floodlights have been fixed. There were 5 lamps out on one of the floodlight rigs during the friendlies. Might not need them tomorrow of course, but the evening games will require full capability. Aren't they always like that? I don't think I can ever remember every lamp working. No,...

Excellent thread, with thoughtful and positive comments from fellow Nesters. I agree entirely that Michael Flynn has been a very good fit for the Club - he has completely understood the culture here and has diligently carried out his duties without ever throwing dolly’s out of the pram if financial ...

Found this footage: https://youtu.be/RMZjptxmsYU?si=QN83bhtYKCpL1FF1 He’s quick, left sided, can go past opponents, can cross the ball and tackle, and he’s got League 1 experience. What is there not to like? However, he does appear to have had a few injury issues, most recently a thigh muscle that m...

The last time Ryan broom played at this level he played 36 games,8 goals 7 assists. Hes since had 7 seasons at league one level. Had it been another league one player with 7 seasons behind him at that level then looking at his stats last time he was in league 2 I think we'd all be happy. Infact bro...

Delighted with this development. Well done CTFC Board.

I’m expecting to see Garlick Bread provided for every new signing, and with every main meal ordered in the Bar.

Henceforth it will be said that CTFC is running on Garlick Bread.

You heard it here first.

Lord Elpuz

I thought Crewe made us look poor first half by not giving us any space to play in their half and then being rapid to counter attack us. Once they had to come out and try to play though we created a lot more going down to the home end. Also what an amazing save that was by Joe day first half, no id...

Holloway should have stayed with his Original Society. They’re Friendly. I wonder if they looked after him when he was out of work for all those years?

Lord Elpuz

I quite enjoy these posts by the way Shade. Do keep doing them. Indeed. A most informative and enjoyable read, with analysis presented in a manner that provides a more accurate judgement of the opponent’s current league position. I for one looked at their 6th placing and felt this would be a tough ...

Lord Elpuz

David always comes across well in my opinion and people calling for his head need to be careful what they wish for. He may not be the slickest of chairman but he’s a true fan at heart who’s had a good career and will offer a lot to the board. Glad to see the trust put in their place to be fair. The...

Lord Elpuz

Swindle game was weird. Just after half time, we were smashed, completely dead and buried. CTFC fans became toxic (understandable) but after that 3rd Swindle goal went in the good ship CTFC steadied and the fans got right behind the team as the attacking subs got into the game, and if (a BIG IF) the...

I left a clue in my opening post on the subject

Lord Elpuz

A former CTFC Stadium sponsor appears to be in administration - Completely Motoring Group which includes Completely Motorbikes, are making all the wrong news.

Lord Elpuz

Please don’t let it be any form of merger, rendering us as ‘Cheltenham Green Rovers’
