Re: David Bloxham interview
Agree Longmover. Whilst I think the board have done/are doing a very good job in getting us where we are today in these historic times for CTFC, the message is always defensive and negative when surely this is the best time to be shouting about our achievements and 'selling' the club to future inves...

Re: The last two.- standing package
In fact I may even go to the other extreme in this particular situation and give the away fans blocks 7/8 in the CF only and have the Hazelwoods for home fans. Do a big advertising campaign on social media etc. maybe kids for a tenner and get as much of the ground CTFC as possible to get behind the ...

Re: Is 23 March still on
Luke named in the Northern Ireland squad. Noticed watching the Peterborough v Stevenage game last night that if the game goes ahead one of their internationals, Kyprianou, would be suspended anyway. Not sure if that effects the call off criteria?

Re: The rest of the season
There's not much more we can do to stay in League 1. I don't see us signing a free-agent striker, I don't think we have the funds to. It could all be back in our own hands after tomorrow night's games as well, so a bit early to be throwing in the towel. Well if the club isn't allowing Darrell to lo...

Re: Oxford United v Cheltenham Town
I know DC likes to surprise everyone with team selections but starting with 10 men was bold. If Nuttall ever gets near the team again I will be shocked. Would rather start the youngsters. Another buffoon of a ref who gave any little touch on them a foul and not us, was telling Luke to get on with it...

Re: Cheltenham Town v Charlton Athletic
Like others, I'm deflated after last night, but I'm not beaten. I think DC has to take his share of the blame for the last few games. There seems to be rotation for rotation's sake at the moment and this is creating confusion in the midfield and defence. The back three on Saturday were perfectly fi...

The amount of space we had in the middle today was insane. Everytime Pete or Sercs had the ball, they seemed to have acres to play into. But we just did very very little with it.

Re: Cheltenham Town v Burton Albion
Really disappointingly flat performance especially second half. Lacking energy, spark and quality in the final third.

6 wins from 15 games will do it because I’m sure there will be a draw or two. 52 points will be enough.

Port Vale have sacked Andy Crosby. New manager bounce probably enough to take one of the last teams we are hoping to catch out of our reach😣 We have two games in hand on Charlton, Burton and Exeter.
