Good summary Jon

Things are clearly not as rosy off the pitch as some people make out

35 man squad but still paper-thin on match day.

Grant McCann is available Mr Baker. Go and get him

drgm

In fairness Cowley was doing exceptionally well at Braintree the others had no mgmt. experience. As for Grant he's a playing legend and seemed to do reasonably solid job at Peterborough for two seasons on presumably a healthy budget but I fail to see why that entitles him to the job here assuming t...

Agree. I thought Adebayo looked pretty good last time he played but he finds himself frozen out by a gobby jock and a cart horse.

drgm

A move for Pell would rejuvenate his career to the disadvantage of Cheltenham Town. Agreed he is only a shadow of his former self but to be continually played out of position to allow the likes of Morrell and Sellars to be played in their best positions must be galling to say the least. He was throw...

There are a few on here who are happy for the players to take the blame when we lose and happy for the manager to take the credit when we win! I'm sorry but performances are largely down to the manager. It's his squad, his budget, his team selection and his tactics. Yesterday was a turning point for...

drgm

Bloody hell - it's worse than I thought.
I looked at the programme yesterday and noticed we have a squad of 35. Seems like
an incredible waste of budget even if some are not that expensive.
Complete re-build required in the summer.

drgm

I'm sorry Ben2 but you need to calm down. It's all about opinions. Hortengs' opinion is as valid as anybody else's and he is free to express his view. You are obviously happy with the way the club just drifts along. Many are not. This was a match that could have added some gloss to a mediocre season...

drgm

Im getting fed up of johnson dreadfull formations. We have possibly the best striker in our league, and we play him up front on his own and all we do is hump the ball in the air to him and his only downfall is he cant win headers. So we play to his weakness, bravo Johnson. For the first 70 mins the...

drgm

Moore not a RB - we havent had a RB all season, what a joke. square pegs in round holes, biggest example is the clown in charge. ENOUGH is ENOUGH I have to say, whilst I have been patient and supportive of Gary this season, when a manager fails at home so often and persists with the same failing ap...

drgm

I'm not a season ticket holder but I couldn't be persuaded to make that kind of commitment with the
way the club is run at the moment. I go to all the home games but unless the club shows a bit of ambition
I will pick and choose my games from now on.

drgm

What a let down. We could have added some gloss to a mediocre season by winning what Gary billed as a glos cup tie.
Well sorry Gary but poor team selection, wrong formation and non-existent team motivation meant we had no chance.
Poor Poor Poor Gary.

drgm

Can't say I blame him. Probably wants to join a club with greater aspirations than 16th in the table

drgm

None of our fans use the "Green Devils" nickname, the vast majority think it's a load of s#!t. Quite a lot of our chants still include "black and white" references as well. I cringe every time I see the words 'Green Devils'. Plastic corporate naffness forced onto a historic club...

Athletico Biomass Green Subsidy City 'Athletico' and 'City' captures where their fanbase thinks they ought to be and the other words reflect their source of income. or Free Ticket Town -kind of reflects their swelling fanbase or The Little Club at the Top of the Hill United -the lazy journalist's na...

drgm

He wont subject Charlie to the 'venomous' attitude of the Whaddon Road cauldron. After all they are 'potentially a bigger club than Cheltenham' and don't need to descend to our level. A defeat would 'tarnish the reputation of this great club'. All quotes taken from their delusional forum. Apparently...

drgm

I don't mind fans of other clubs coming on here as long as we can have a bit of banter. I'm quite happy for someone to take the p*** as long as it's funny. A little bit of wit and humour goes a long way. We used to have a couple of Gloucester boys on here who were pretty funny but sadly they don't p...

drgm

I admit I have been critical of Gary this season but if we win next Saturday it will be the most satisfying win since we went to Nene Park in 1999 and won the title from another bankrolled club by scoring 2 goals in injury time. I would willingly run across the pitch at full time and grovel for forg...

drgm

Time for another poll I think. I will not be voting the same this time

Life's too short to read such inane drivel posted by someone who isn't one of our own.
OTC is a complete waste of electricity and band width

drgm

We could learn a lesson from Rugby. If someone is injured -get the trainer on and play around them! It won't happen though. Football is too slow to adapt to change. I often leave the ground angry and frustrated, not necessarily because of the result, but because 'game management' has spoilt my enjoy...

drgm

Is it just me or has time wasting got completely out of hand over the last couple of months? It's not even just the latter stages anymore, but we've had at least 3 teams come to us who have seemed determined to time waste right from kick off. Now, I'm not saying that I expect teams to hurry when th...

drgm

Some of the clubs he's managed in recent years at Championship level have been basket cases,
Forest, Portsmouth and now Birmingham. I always thought he was destined for the top but I now wonder
what's left for our Stevie
Will always be a legend in my eyes

drgm

The media reaction to all this has been ridiculous! We've just had a bit of snow and it's cold. Then they trot out the same old c!#p about us not being prepared. Well who can justify a fleet of snow-ploughs gathering dust most of the year? The resources we have are proportionate to the amount of sno...

Barry Fry and Steve Evans - a match made in heaven.

The Stags and League 2 will be a better place without him

'As for McCann, he won 42 of his 105 games in charge..' A league record we could only dream of at Cheltenham. GJ's record at the moment (according to wikipedia) is 39% A huge 1 percentage point below drgm’s (unambiguous) dream of 40%. Had you bothered to read my post properly RCS you can see I was ...

Is that the first time Atangana has completed a game? Just re-enforces my point that we should be doing better than we are. If you pick your best players then performances should improve. It's not bloody rocket science and it's nothing you Gary lovers should be crowing about. We would be further up ...

drgm

A decision like that isn't without consequences. When Flinders joined us at the end of August we were in the relegation places with 3 points from 4 games with 9 goals conceded. You can't entirely blame Flatt for that but maybe paying that 5K for Brown might have resulted in us being a few points bet...

By the way, impressed with Ilias today.

Winchester at right back. Square peg in round hole to make way for Sellars while big Nige left on the bench.

Didn’t join in the chanting and I don’t see the point of changing manager now but for what it’s worth I’d like to see a managerial change in the summer. Under Johnson I don’t see us progressing and I’d question his hunger and appetite since returning after illness last season. Who would I want? A y...

Where was Atangana today? We need our best eleven out for every game. Why push Winchester to right back to make room for Sellars? Was that really going to make things better? Running out of patience I'm afraid. Still, mustn't complain. I'll just pay my 20 quid and put up with it -for now. We mustn'...

This puts our current season in perspective We spent last season avoiding relegation while making a profit FGR will spend their first season doing exactly the same thing while posting a loss of 2 million or so Apparently not. On course to break even according to DV. Anyone who failed their Maths GC...

Our ambitions small compared with FGR's! What world is Vince living in? FGR ambition this season seems to be the same as ours - staying out of the relegation zone. Is that the sum of their 'ambition'? They'll probably spend far more than we do to achieve it. As for losses King Giraffe 111, let's see...

Well well well!
Pretty much our strongest line up. No Sellars! No complaints from me! About time Gary
got it right.
