A really positive read. Can't wait to see the partnership getting even stronger in the coming season, especially with Morgs & Billy breathing down their necks ! League 2 will dread our strike force.

"dread our strike force". How nice it is to think like that given we haven't really had any noteworthy strike forces since probably Gillespie and Odejayi, with Spencer and Guinan on the bench, and I think Wright and Holman with Waters and AMS on the bench have the potential to far better them.

I like the optimism Shade but if I was to pick one area where I'd like us to sign a player better than we have then it's upfront. I really hope they prove me wrong but I'm cautious as to whether Wright and AMS can cut it in league two. Holman however I'm sure will be a revelation and Waters has the potential to do the same.

I've just read James' piece on the six best striking partnerships Cheltenham have had. I was more than a little surprised that he couldn't find one better than Wes Thomas and Jeff Goulding, whilst overlooking Gillespie and Odejayi, or even at a push Alsop and Richards (lol). At least we got promoted with the Gillespie and Odejayi...

Alsop and Naylor was the best 2 we ever had upfront

Agree with this.

I'd also go with that as a partnership they complimented each other so well.

I never realised they were such a lovely couple
