Travelling from an area with a red weather warning, a tricky coach journey up on the morning and got a draw at one of the best teams in the division. Very impressive.

Was that in between all the other drivel? When you listen to the Gloucester Rugby commentary (not that I do), it’s so professional but ours is just about someone from Bishop’s Cleeve on Facebook who isn’t travelling and loads of other tripe. I wonder if the FGR commentators give out our score durin...

Jerry St Clair

A minor point from the interview, but Flynn says that he travelled up from home in Wales.

Did he travel to Doncaster separately from the team? Or did he join up with them on the bus? Or did the team overnight in Doncaster? What about Downes and the other coaches? Is that the normal arrangement?

Jerry St Clair

6200 at Doncaster today. They’re a club who traditionally are a Division 4 team, occasionally getting up into the third tier, occasionally dropping into non-league in their recent history. Not a million miles away from a certain club in Gloucestershire. Yes, they’re doing well this season but today’...

Happy with that.

Cardiff, Newport and Plymouth are already off.

I expect many more will follow. Everton v Liverpool might be the most high profile casualty. 68mph winds forecast for kickoff.

Jerry St Clair

With apologies to Shade who, like me, may think there’s a good possibility of a postponement. Currently 55mph gusts and steady rain forecast in Doncaster. The man who will make the call is Scott Simpson who takes charge of his second ever Cheltenham game, the first being the eventful win over Oxford...

Jerry St Clair

Not in my knowledge sphere, but I guess most if not all of the lads don't take a salary out of the club? If that is the case then, I see his point. Being a well meaning amateur shouldn't be a reflection on your stewardship I agree completely, but whenever Robin uses that phrase, it definitely comes...

Jerry St Clair

Flynn alludes to self-reflection in interviews but never actually says “I screwed up with my subs”. Maybe that would be a fruitless piece of mea culpa, but I do wonder if he genuinely reflects on his decisions and takes his share of the blame. Or whether he thinks Taylor/Laing were good calls last n...

The thing I can’t get my head around is building an eco stadium next to a motorway junction in the middle of nowhere meaning the vast majority of people will need to get there using the most inefficient, environmentally destructive means of travel possible - cars. Unless I’ve missed a major active t...

Jerry St Clair

Old farts like me will remember when there was no board held up showing added time. The game just carried on until the ref blew up and it was anyone’s guess when that might be. If that game had been played in 1995 we’d all be focussing on the defensive frailties and decision-making than the minutiae...

Scott Tallis will be the man in charge. Still relatively new to the EFL select group 2 list he has, nevertheless, already taken charge of two Cheltenham games both last season. Town 2-2 Reading Wycombe 2-0 Town Looking back at the Reading game reviews, he essentially let GBH be committed to George ...

Salford at Man City Morecambe at Chelsea Harrogate at Leeds Accrington at Liverpool A good few million in gate receipts for teams below us in league two… Accrington will get half a season’s worth of gate receipts in one game. Plus plenty of bonus money through merchandise, possible tv money etc on ...

Need to be careful we don’t flog the front three to death. Thomas and Archer are new to League football. Miller is just back from a serious injury’s They’ve started everything for a couple of months now and it’s starting to show. Might be worth going with something different to freshen it up and giv...

Some incredibly unpleasant people on social media gleeful at Bennett’s injury. Football Twitter/Facebook really can be the absolute pits.

Jerry St Clair

Sounds like 40 minutes of relative, if unthreatening, comfort with five mad minutes sandwiched in the middle.

Jerry St Clair

- We're not choosing to play up the slope second half, we just keep losing the toss I'm not saying anyone is telling untruths, but this seems quite unlikely given we come out and immediately set up at the other end of the pitch these days, before the toss even happens. Quite a coincidence...! Maybe...

TBF, this is the biggest on field issue at the moment by a country mile.

Why there hasn’t been a 90 minute Robins Report special on this is beyond me. Priorities, lads, priorities.

Jerry St Clair

On a point of order, the talk about replacing the PRE with a seated stand is slightly disrespectful to the very many Cheltenham fans who choose to stand at football. Forcing people to sit down is, thankfully, now a discredited approach. Any redevelopment needs to incorporate standing accommodation (...

Jerry St Clair

It’d be a logistical headache for us more for all the functions that we rely on the Main Stand for - changing rooms, offices, hospitality, The Nest, ticket office, club shop. All of these would need temporary accommodation somewhere. Portakabins in Cakebridge maybe!?

Jerry St Clair

A very experienced official Martin Coy takes charge of this one. And we have some pretty eventful history with this guy: Last season he took charge of the 3-1 horror show at home to Wycombe (notable for Matty Taylor's debut goal). He sent off Alex Addai in a draw at Northampton (was that after the ...

Friday night football,especially this time of year does not appeal to me. Travelling in the dark and sitting in temperature around freezing is grim. From a playing point of view the pitch is more likely to get skiddy than on a Saturday afternoon . The travelling crowd will be smaller than on a Satu...

So many variables. From Cardiff’s perspective, one of their players is proving they are a cut above in L2 while learning all about the rough and tumble of men’s football. It’d be logical to let Joel continue his development and return to Cardiff in the summer ready to start in the Championship. Disr...

Finn Azaz tearing Oxford a new one, apparently. Boro are 6-2 up at the Kassam.

A turn of events I can get behind.

(This time last year Will Goodwin was doing likewise at Whaddon Road).

Jerry St Clair

A good win, especially as we’ve got some tough games coming up. First half was tedious, no lack of effort from us but precious little of any merit with Miller, Archer and Thomas making little headway and having to contend with poor balls forward. I thought the subs made the difference for us and we...

I said exactly the same. He turned Payne inside out about 3 times in the first 15 minutes.

And then completely disappeared for the rest of the game. He was hooked halfway through the second half, I think?

He was excellent that day, particularly for our first goal where he played an advantage after a clear handball allowing Joel Colwill to score. On Friday he’ll mostly be foun...

No - it was moved at Tranmere's request, so not picked for Sky Sports + I'd assumed it was on telly until I heard you say this on the pod. Should be beneficial for the crowd. The Accy game was akin to a mass boycott of season ticket holders who seemingly decided to watch it on the box instead. Shou...
