Re: Cheltenham Town v Bristol Rovers

Although Wycombe at home on 3rd February was the first properly poor performance in a while, 23rd February is when everything seemed to turn against us. The 1-1 draw at Wigan. We had ridden out the bad decisions away at Derby and Bolton and the mess of that Wycombe game and had just won 3 in a row. ...

Re: Matchday Atmosphere - Shall we sing a song for you?

Methinks it's a little late to get the stadium rocking this season - this should have happened by Easter Monday at the latest. But, in the spirit of things... "Down" (311 song), 1996 "Down" (Blink-182 song), 2003 "Down" (Fifth Harmony song), 2017 "Down" (Jay S...

Re: Cheltenham Town v Bristol Rovers

No way I'd be thinking about letting Clarke go. Last 2 games he's got wrong yes, but maybe we're simply a poor side and it's only DC's miracle work that's put us anywhere near safety. Not sure. He had a team that was doing pretty well, but they've turned to utter s#!t and he can't seem to sort them...

Re: Cheltenham Town v Bristol Rovers

I know everything seems worse when you're doing s#!t. But at half time, where's the music? Jim Haggin didn't even commentate on the crossbar challenge, just quickly read out the names half way through. Everything seems so f#!$ amateur right now in every department.

Re: Cheltenham Town v Bristol Rovers

The goalkeeper seems to actually be injured for once, the defence is an absolute mess, the midfield is virtually non-existant and the strikers haven't had a touch around the opposition penalty box, and both of our relegation rivals are winning. Other than that, it's fine.

Re: 8 games,no wins and zero goals scored.

"How s#!t must you be, we've scored a goal" might be sung first. Also, on the Wade comment, it's pretty accurate. First 12 games we were c!#p. Next 24 we were a top half team. Final 12, so far, back to the same dross as the first quarter. Although we are scoring the odd goal now, a lot of ...

Something else that popped into my head; if this game had been played when it was scheduled, it would have almost certainly been 3 points to us.

He's in a lose-lose situation. Not sticking up for DC, per se, as he shouldn't have bothered waiting for half time again when it obviously wasn't working. But, if he'd left it as it was again, and we'd played the same way as we did in the first half against Exeter and Orient, then he'd be getting st...

For me, all this began with the disastrous five minutes at home to Reading.
If you're going back to that, why not 10 or so days earlier when we lost a 1-0 lead in the 89th minute and lost 2-1 to Orient.

Re: Cheltenham Town v Carlisle United

Amazed DC changed the formation in a game which was going to be massive in our survival hopes. Clearly wasn't working after 25 mins and did nothing to change it. And it's cost us the game. Saying that back to normal formation second half,despite being the better side we were never going to score. Y...

I think that (as written elsewhere on here) we've got one of the smallest squads in League One.

Hopefully they haven't got anyone with any pace! Long, Davies, Bradbury...even Williams really. I guess Williams might have edged it over Ferry as it's a defensive full back role.

Nuttall starts alone up top, and Thomas and Harrop get their first starts as well. What a time to get it...

Hopefully at half time. Not to make a difference, but to give someone a rest for Saturday because we've already got the game wrapped up.

Re: Cheltenham Town Research

Question 8, I think the labelling should be different as it doesn't really make sense for some of the responses. It should read as it is for some of them, but also maybe /very likely, /likely, /sometimes, /not likely, never.
