Re: TONIGHT: 2023/24 Club Annual Shareholders Meeting and Fans’ Forum

I'm a bit confused with the backlash against selling players to breakeven or make a profit. Its not luck to sell a player but a clear part of the club's business plan. We develop and improve players, give them experience with the aim to make a profit on them. At L1 level, with average attendances a...

Re: Deciding games

Not sure if this has been mentioned anywhere else but Pett, Keena, Freestone all out for the last 3 and Lloyd touch and go aswell. At least we're well stocked for LCBs and CMs. As for forwards, lets just hope MT can hold together. Never fear, I am a free agent and will be bringing an old pair of bo...

Re: Deciding games

Lincoln will be our hardest game by far, as far as I'm concerned. They're in great form, just beat Oxford away to close the gap to the last play-off spot and did it with 10 men for the last 20 mins or so. Plus, we have a c!#p recent record against them. Peterborough I think may be starting to think...

Re: Cheltenham Town v Bristol Rovers

Amazingly, in a team that conceded three goals, I thought Shepherd was one of the bright lights yesterday. He is always making himself available and is happy to get the ball. Has shown that he can take the ball forward and is confident. If we need someone for Taylor (and maybe Keena), to feed off t...

Re: Cheltenham Town v Bristol Rovers

Lloyd's value to the team is his energy, chasing, tenacity, winning the ball, and setting up goalscoring chances. I agree, it would be great if he also scored a few goals as well, though I suspect if he did, we would struggle to hold on to him! Therein lies the frustration of supporting a club like...

Re: Cheltenham Town v Bristol Rovers

Darrell Clarke is the reason we weren't relegated weeks ago. We have the smallest budget in L1 and, I believe, the smallest squad. To compound this, we have walking wounded and simply don't have the cover and strength in depth enjoyed by other clubs in this league. DC has taken his share of any bla...

Rovers were awful on Tuesday, by accounts. Reading fans felt they cruised it and it was one of their most comfortable games of the season. 4-0 would have been more reflective of Reading's dominance. Is it possible to get a bet on how quickly we'll hear Rovers fans singing "How s#!t must you be...
