Cheltenham v City 17th Sept

I think he'd be suspended for the next game anyway due to the number of yellow cards?

 

What a winner

 

Who is the player that would be chomping at the bit, eager to get on in order to give his all?

We used to have a striker who wasn't right bothered, but I can't recall this fellow.

 

fecking ridiculous is Bowyer, wait til we're 2-1 down to make subs. We only started playing when Cooke came on! As for Donaldson, he's awful and wastes chances, my golden retriever has better ball control than this horseman

 

Saturday time to bounce back, we looked more composed when Cooke came on I know he scored but Anderson doesn't offer a lot in midfield, lick our wounds and go again.

 

Absolutely embarrassing.

Midfield is really poor aside from the wingers who had no support from the full backs at all until we went into added time. Takes Donaldson off when we need a goal!?

The marking for their goals would be embarrassing at Sunday League.

 

We didn't deserve anything tonight, though we were better after Cooke and Ismail came on.

BRE had a good game, though a needless foul led to their 3rd. Everyone else was poor.

I don't see this team as being good enough to go up. We'll need at least a couple more in January.

 

They played well and I enjoyed watching the game.
C-D needs to get better for me. He had a better second half but he seems to feck up when it matters.
Maybe he’s trying to hard, i get the feeling he wants to go out of the game on a high.
GB Never makes any tactical changes does he lol always like for like. But to be fair they seem to change the game haha

 

Our top scorer last season???

Now we down to Shay and Omari.

Glorious.

 

Sorry but that was disgraceful tonight. Naive bordering on stupid tactics from Bowyer to play a 2 man midfield against a team who play like that, we barely touched the ball at all. Created the grand sum of feck all from open play and takes off our best attacker in Connolly. Clueless.

 

Right, I'm off, can't be bothered with the overreaction at losing to a team that have been very useful at home and we have no right whatsoever to beat.

Night all.

 

Took us to go 3-2 down to show any sort of cohesion and urgency. No matter Cooke aint a holding midfielder he has to start Saturday. Gets the ball forward and good passing range. Cannot ignore it though we were largely second best in this game. Out footballed. This is defeat number three from 11 games we can probably afford another three ?. We have to do better than this.

 

I'm not a fan of Gary Bowyer so i'll leave it there before i get slated.

Lets bounce back Saturday.
Vaughan & Oteh/McCartan up top. Connolly & Ismail wide. Cooke & Palmer centre.

 

If we can stay in touch with top 7 by January, its to be hoped Bowyer can reinforce a weak central midfield with better quality, and you would have to fancy us to have a right go in the second half of season

 

had the chances to give ourselves a great foot hold in the game through donaldson's chances in the first half but if we continue to miss guilt edged chances like that and give up possession in the middle of the park we'll continue to struggle to dominate games. too often we are too slow to move the ball, take too many touches and play for the second ball off the front two.

however, once you've managed to get back to 2-2 with 10 minutes to go against a side unbeaten at home in 14 league games you have to see the game out. ridiculous free-kick to give away in an area of the pitch we're the opposition were going to struggle to create anything - only way you can describe it is as naive at best.

without playing well we should be walking away from there tonight with at least a point.

 

It was said on here by a few that a Vaughan injury be catastrophic. Donaldson is shite in front of goal and now its Shay and Omari.

No depth.

 

Radio fellas are saying its one of those days and we should be happy with how we played. FCW Andy Kiwomya says it was an excellent away performance.

I'm now puzzled to how I perceive a game of football.

 

Apart from all the chances we made of course.

 

Agreed, We are shit but you could also make a case for us winning (probably losing the winning ones aswell) most games we have played . I cant work us out at all, we could finish anywhere between 1st and 15th
