JB should be starting for me, his pace is a serious asset.

[BigLeftToe]

Well it’d probably make for better mascots than Scunny and Hunny Bunny!

[BigLeftToe]

They like to play football so might not get on very well with our cabbage patch pitch!

[BigLeftToe]

Clunan was a limited player but a great captain who got us promoted. Westbrooke has been incredible since holding down a place in midfield but I’d say it’s Rowley who’s the new and improved Clunan mk2.

Best NL in a long time still 6 teams averaging 2 Pts a game.

6 teams still averaging >=2 points per game in the same division is pretty wild. In the 4 divisions above us there’s only 4 teams in total doing that!

Possibly, unless Denton is playing further forward like he has does quite a few times previously.

[BigLeftToe]

Very harsh on Mahady! Decent shot that he dived for and no fault of his that the ball hit the post and rebounded in off of him.

[BigLeftToe]

The equaliser at home to Braintree in the 87th minute was a sickener too.

Next 4 league games are going to be tough going…Boreham Wood, Forest Green, Southend and Carlisle!

[BigLeftToe]

Connor Smith it is. Happy with that!

Smith played the majority of his games here as a left winger, so I’d say more of a TSF replacement.

[BigLeftToe]

No, but the OWS did put a story up that Max Brogan has joined Leamington but it has since been taken down.

Let the battle of the vaginas commence!

Hopefully contributes a lot more than Chadwick/Eze but he didn’t particularly stand out at all the other night.

1 year older than Callum Roberts and has played for one more club than him…wow, such a journeyman.

Views from a Cheltenham fan in a Free Press article:

“Cotterill has managed his return to full match sharpness carefully and successfully and he has looked a cut above in several recent matches. He made four appearances from the bench before making his first start against Buxton in the 6-2 FA Cup second round win. He started the next six league games, scoring in the wins over Barrow and Shrewsbury Town either side of Christmas. He then went on as a substitute against Crawley Town on Sunday and scored the vital first goal to set up a 3-0 win – the perfect way to sign off. He sees things very few players in League Two see and it’s evident from his brief period at Cheltenham that he belongs at a higher level.”

“Adelakun plays with a swagger and almost makes it look effortless at times, with his touch and vision. He is not afraid to try the spectacular or the audacious. But the 29-year-old is far from a ‘luxury player’. He has been forced to run hard during his appearances for Cheltenham and he has passed the Cotterill workrate test, which some players do not manage.”

Maybe, just maybe, he’s not quite the same player as some people remember from his time here 8 years ago.

and Hakeeb 18 month deal at Dony – Oh well. If it keeps Westwood here then great

Hang on a sec, you’re telling me the Donny management didn’t listen to the football geniuses on here who said he’s not good enough for us in the National League!

[BigLeftToe]

Thought he did really well in his 1st two seasons and scored a few really important goals in particular last season. But this season he’s struggled and has made the team weaker whenever he has come on in midfield towards the end of games (imho).

Is it also a good sign that Westbrooke may be staying?

I don’t frequent the FB group anymore as the mods are absolute twonks and removed me after I posted something slightly critical. It’s like living in Mother Russia over on there!

But Apollo’s memory is correct, this Dave chap is a new fan…which makes his gushings even more cringe.

Too good for us, despite what some on here will have you believe. 2 goals and 2 assists in 4 starts for a struggling Cheltenham, he ain’t gonna be dropping down to the NL.

Read the thread

Thanks for the advice. The questions still stand.

[BigLeftToe]

Disappointing as we’re on a bit of a roll with a great opportunity to pick up another 3 points…but probably the sensible and correct decision to call it off now before wasting anyone’s time.

[BigLeftToe]

Ok, thanks for confirming. Bit out of touch with reality me thinks. Our current Prime Minister is so disliked that even an impression of him was booed vociferously at the bloody Royal Variety Performance! Guess everyone in that crowd was a member of Britain First and a Tommy Robinson fanboy too.

[BigLeftToe]

So just to confirm my understanding, if you dislike the current government, particularly the Prime Minister, think he’s a bit of a w*nker and join in with a chant to that matter, then you are automatically associated with Britain First and are a Tommy Robinson fanboy?

Can someone confirm please?

Maxi Kouogun on the scoresheet I see.

Clunan on target for KLT in NLN too.

Roberts and Whitehall the ones that mattered though.

Don’t leave out Mark “goal machine” Beck on the scoresheet again!

This time last year we demolished Kings Lynn in a top of the table clash then lost to lowly Rushall Olympic, so we definitely have previous recent history of these kinds of slip ups.

Personally can’t see it happening this time around, especially at home (hope that’s not famous last words!).

Would he have even gotten in our team though? Whitehall starts, Roberts starts, and TSF starts (whilst still here).

Dec scored a belter off the bench to win the game vs Woking and likewise Carlton vs Tamworth. Not much room for another forward to make any more of an impact than that.

[BigLeftToe]

Yeah agreed Sanfran, I was more highlighting how we threw our youngsters completely under the bus with no chance in hell of staying up. They were clearly not good enough at the time and have proven today that they were never going to be good enough either.

Some of the players we were relying on in our last attempt at staying up in League 2:

Jack Moore-Billam – Clay Cross Rovers
Cam Wilson – Matlock Town
Harry Davis – Northwich Victoria
Alex Kenyon – last seen at Bamber Bridge
Ross Millen – Inverness CT
Harry Bunn – Hyde United
Tyrone O’Neill – Guisborough
Alex Perry – last seen at Runcorn Linnets
Anthony Grant – AFC Whyteleafe
Joe Nuttall – Morecambe
Jake Scrimshaw – East Cowes Victoria
Luke Matheson – Macclesfield
Tyrese Sinclair – Solihull Moors
Rekeil Pyke – Truro City
Ethan Young – Peterborough Sports
Fin Shrimpton – Chester
Harry Lewis – last seen at Cleethorpes
Mason O’Malley – Worksop
Manny Onariase – Maidenhead
Dan Gallimore – last seen at Cleethorpes
George Taft – last seen at Mickleover
Harvey Cribb – Cobh Ramblers

Hmm…I wonder why we got spanked every week!? I think the only players who have played any kind of league football since that season are Hayden Hackney, Ryan Delaney, Ryan Loft and Myles Hippolyte (two of those were loanees and the other two we shipped out in the January).
