Phew! And before I get slaughtered, that's just my opinion.

...and sticking with goalies Rhys Lovett has now been reunited with GJ after signing for Torquay.

SHANDY VOR · 16 Jul 2022, 09:18

Took me a little while to warm to him when he was at City, but when he got a run of games I thought he was a pretty decent keeper

Odd comment here from Andy Williams regarding the culture at Cheltenham.

Interesting...but obviously our 'abnormal' culture has worked for the past two years!

It's annoying when someone makes a comment like that and then does'nt explain themselves.

Shade · 19 Jul 2022, 10:34

Well, there haven't been any complaints and Duff always said his attitude was exceptional, always encouraging other players when he wasn't in the team...maybe he's just on about it being something superior here when we were winning the title and at Walsall it's more "normal" and mid-lower table.

19 Jul 2022, 10:40

Maybe he's referring to being "twatted by a wet goalkeeper's glove" or being made to do roly polies the length of the pitch.. ?

That could well be it ASL. If it is, then i agree with him. It's odd.

Shade · 19 Jul 2022, 14:28

Seemed to work, though...players not being allowed to coast is hardly a bad thing.

Broadway Brian · 24 Jul 2022, 08:03

I see The Boy scored for Leicester yesterday

Wonder if there's a cut price deal possible, he rejected Stevenage aswell supposedly

Probably more like being made to train hard, and a positive atmosphere without puerile laddish ‘banter’. I assume ‘normal’ means being able to doss about and act like ‘knobheads’ as Duff would call it.

We were interested last summer and I think it would make sense given we are known to be looking to sign another attacking midfielder. Whether he wants to come back though I'm unsure as he;s already rejected one league one side (presumably one of the smaller fish).

CTFCfan99 · 29 Jul 2022, 19:38

Would take him back in a heartbeat, would give us two great options with him or Perry at CAM and he could cover RWB too. Though as Robin says, would he be interested? The longer he goes without moving the more likely, and the fact he's played here before might help.

Sounds like an ego with an attitude problem. Not the type of character we want in our dressing room, regardless of how good they are.

HamTown · 30 Jul 2022, 08:13

You can't confidently conclude that it's an attitude problem - he might not want to take a pay cut or move/commute to these places. We'd have plenty of contacts that could vouch (or not) for him

horlickfanclub · 30 Jul 2022, 11:42

I agree with Ham. It is more likely Barry Fry with the problem. He signed Broom now expects him to go anywhere just to suit Peterborough. Good luck to Ryan Broom.

paperboy · 30 Jul 2022, 12:00

Scott Brown on standby to debut for Exeter if their new keeper fails a fitness test.
Ex Robin Matt Taylor has struggled to recruit more than two players and admits unless they bring in more reinforcements they will struggle.

30 Jul 2022, 12:44

It's very noticeable that Vale, Exeter and FGR have struggled to recruit this summer.

Vale and FGR both playing fellow relegation battlers of course.

Fuller · 31 Jul 2022, 09:34

Scott Brown in goal for Exeter yesterday.
Thought he’d retired from playing and was now their keeper coach?

Broadway Brian · 31 Jul 2022, 10:13

Will Forrester is a canny signing for the Vale.

Would have loved to see him here but that would have meant him moving house.

Is he a former Robin then?

I see Mattie Pollock isn't even in the squad for Watford today and can't see anything to say he's injured. Would certainly have him back on loan.

Si Robin · 03 Aug 2022, 08:06

Kion Etete is set to sign for Cardiff on a permanent deal

paperboy · 03 Aug 2022, 10:58

Alex Addai joins Sittingbourne.
Think we played them a few times decades ago.
Another club that sold their ground and became a little nomadic apparently.

That's a good pick up for them, I heard Portsmouth were also interested in signing him. Good player but injury prone.

Seeing Sittingbourne immediately reminds me of things like Beazer Homes League, primary school and a Robins fanzine my teacher left on my desk one Monday morning that had a little comedy bit on the front page about "Rushden Anne Diamonds". 94/95.

Si Robin · 03 Aug 2022, 15:41

Sittingbourne of course (and I'm sure JP will correct me if I'm wrong) being Steve Cotterill's first opponents when he became manager of Cheltenham - we lost 1-0.
