    Good first half from City, deserved to be ahead but that goal before halftime will kill us. Would definitely take a point now

    Much better tonight, a shame about the equaliser but with how we are playing I can see us coming away with all 3 points.

    I think I’m feeling a wee bit optimistic. ;)

    ahaha, COME ON CITY!!

    Agree really unlucky with the deflection but it must be becoming a concern how many we concede from between 15 and 25 yds on that left hand side

    Let's not forget they are in second place and until the deflected goal they have done nothing to suggest to me they are world beaters.
    Sloppy performance at times from City but we might grind out a result.
    Big 45 to come.

    AOC needed to close the man down quicker but a better performance so far.

    He has given it away too much but I feel for him a bit. Several times he has taken it past the man closing him down and gone forward with the ball only to have no one to pass to and having to turn around and come back

    Is it AOC who is leaving us wide open at the back?

    I can't tell you how likely it looks that their left back sets up the next goal.

    Very pleasing performance overall. Unlucky with the goal but we’ve been the better team. Cut out the sloppy passes and keep the quality balls into the box and who knows. We need at least a point that this performance deserves (so far).

    I thought that was a good first half performance from us and an enormous improvement from the Oldham game. There were good performances from Cooke, Donaldson and particularly Hosanah who seemed to thrive in a more advanced role. Cheltenham looked jaded for most of the first half but we tried our best at times to allow them back into the game.

    Let's see whether we can sustain that level in the second half.

    Fair play to Kevin Sinfield for the 7 in 7 charity.

    Respect to the man

    I agree. He seems to have a developed an annoyingly bad habit of taking the ball forward and getting into open space only to stop and pass the ball backwards. Who the hell taught him to do that?

    Whenever he gets squared up parallel to the touchline he passes backwards because he is scared to pass square or forwards with his right foot.
