Cheltenham Town (A) match thread

[liverpoolann]

Brilliant performance away to league leaders and expert management by Rob assisted by Sam.Feel chuffed I sponsored Tom Davies keep it going lad.We Will definetly have to get a flagpole if this run continues and we stay up.Enjoy tonight everyone and on to next nail biter,

[Steeley]

Teams around us will be very worried about our games in hand.

Great result... Tom Davies motm ... he brings a calmness to the back 3 and reads the game so well. Does he ever lose a header?

Never thought I’d say this but if fit Platt doesn’t get in the team on current form for me. Defender has looked superb and Davies marshals it superbly

[GazzaT]

Calm down. We are only five points away from the second bottom berth with two games in hand. That so called free hit tonight means nothing if we don't show the same will to win spirit on Saturday.

We are also are only three points behind the two teams above with 2 and 3 games in hand on them, which if results go our way could see us 5th from bottom!

Stay positive like Kelly and the team!

WE CAN/WILL DO IT!

Long shot but in theory, we can actually catch Stevenage in 15th. 8pts behind and 3 games in hand.

[HenneysKnee]

We now need “just” 15 points from our last 13 games to stay up. We couldn’t have even dreamt of that situation immediately after the Morecambe game

It'll surely be less than that - Southend would have to get 20 points in 11 games to reach that mark. Somewhere around 44/45 should do it.

Long way to go yet, but beating league leaders who would’ve honestly seen that coming a few months ago. Don’t think anyone is getting carried away but after the dross served up earlier in the season it’s great to be cheering after the wins at the moment and long may it continue

[Suffolk Blue]

Wow. Thats all. Just wow.

[xerxes]

Don't think I've ever seen two such bizarre goals in the same match. I was worried at half time after the battering they gave us in the first half. But they never came near resuming the same momentum in the second half. Great defensive performance.

[mickmike wilson]

Rather players with Kay's mentality then that shower of shite that nearly got us relegated from the conference a few years ago!

Kay will be a cracking player when he grows up...I’d give him another contract with a pay rise but with penalty clauses for Yellows for decent not Yellows for challenges...Might focus his mind better?

[mickmike wilson]

Sea for Quigley

For his usual 2 minutes before final whistle.

If we carry on winning we we see more of sea as the enormous pressure lifts

[mickmike wilson]

the goal line clearance by Neil Eardley was absolutely brilliant.

Not sure how Ntlhe managed to clear the one he did either; proper backs to the walls Barrovian spirit in that first half especially. The effort levels now are absolute chalk and cheese to what they were under Jolley

He’s been a class act in his last 4 games for us & a real quality player in the making, Did he pick up a knock? Seems to be injury prone, Hope the lad can overcome them as Quiggs has.

That’s because Rob saw the writing on the wall & changed tactics to suit & they never had a sniff in that 2nd half, Simple effective tactics, Oh the joy.

[russell_anderson]

Finally we have a manager who can organise a defence with every player knowing his job and getting into position. Second half was much better particularly after Devitt and James came on when we started to pass the ball better as well as defending properly. Whatever Jolley's faults, he did us a favour bringing in Davies, Thomas and Banks and with Davies, Thomas, Platt, Jones and Nthle we have almost certainly the best set of central defenders in this league which should see us safe. Davies had a superb match again as did Jason Taylor.

Excellent let's carry on this run with 6 points from Crawley and Grimsby please well done to Kelly's hero's
