Long way to go yet, but they could be in a relegation battle soon if they're not careful.

And it wasn't long ago on here that people was lauding the tactical expertise of their manager. Funny old game.

We couldn't get near them last year. think they kept pretty much the same team this season. So much for consistency.

Because they romped away in the conf probably thought they wouldn't need to change much. Maybe did us a favour touch wood Hursty seems to have strengthened where reqd still early days yet but I feel we have improved vastly.

PH has made a number of very large calls and he's been proven right on every occasion.

Agree with Mrs Doyle. I suppose if you win a league by 73 points the natural inclination is to keep things the same. We won 2 games having been shite since January. Common sense really by PH.

Looking on their fans forum, some of their fans are quite pessimistic but they have their optimists as well. They didn't make enough summer signings but nobody really seems to know why that is.

Gary Johnson isn't a mug so perhaps there's more to it than meets the eye.

Still early days IMO. Lots of settling down yet.

At present I am happy we won't be in a scrap to stay up and maybe, just maybe we could at least challenge for the play offs.

Certainly need to take at least 4 points from next 2 home games

Shows that there is actually a massive gulf between the conference and L2. The team we've got now would comfortably beat last season's side IMO and we're sat midtable currently.


Looking forward to a brighter future now Fenty has gone.

I think the simplest explanation is Johnson IS a good and very experienced manager, and made the best of his resources. At Conference level, with the parachute payment, Cheltenham had a budget in the same ballpark as us. Back in the League they are a middling-smallish club and don't have our resources.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
