Not one person on this site knows what Owen Bevan is like as a footballing prospect and if hes good enough to play for us. All we can surmise is that Bournemouth believe in him to give him a 3 year contract, and Russell Milton must of taken a good look at him, thats all weve got to go by. So to make...

Re: Cheltenham Town v Bolton Wanderers

I dont think ive been to an away game were the possession was 76 to 24, but for that to be the percentage when playing at home is awful. No quality at all.

Re: Wade Elliott after Birmingham defeat

Youve had a bet on us getting relegated RCS, because if we lose 25+ were down id of thought. Only FGR lost 25+ of the clubs that got relegated last season. We lose 23, win 12 and draw 11 only gives us 47 points
