Well that was a nervy last 10!! First half was exceptional. They couldn't handle Dembele at all. Some of his footwork is simply outrageous. On one occasion he took a high ball down flicked ot up and round the defender. Worth the cost of the day on his own. It was far from a one man show. Summerfield was magnificent. Just about everything we did involved him. Woolford's ball to Siriki for the first goal was perfect. Both centre backs were immense against Cheltenhams high ball game with the only blot being P*lls free header for their goal. Second half it was clear Dembele was struggling a bit well before he came off. I don't know if Son of madeley was at the game but Town dealt pretty comfortably with anything the home team slung in until that last 10. Their second goal was decent and our old giving free kicks away in dangerous areas resurfaced but somehow (woth a bit of help from their crap finishing) we held on. The much maligned Dixon made some crucial first half tackles and blocks. Summerfield my MOM just edging Dembele but what a talent he is!
Looked a bog standard cross into the box for me, just behind Jones but Dembele made it by running onto the ball.

Johnson moaning about time wasting. I've heard it all now, and then he admits that they would do it if they were in the lead. Idiot! We are now starting to resemble the team Slade had first time around, in that we are generally better away from home. Was the same under Hurst for a long time. I think it's maybe that the players at this level don't have the skill to break down teams that just come and sit, but prosper when they have a bit more space away from home.

Good Performance specially first half where we completely dominated Cheltenham Fans saying we looked very strong So pleased for Dembele, and Dixon much improved Is he injured bad? Second half harder but we held on against 12 inc Ref who played 5 1/2 mins injury time. tosser Well done Town we look so much better when we play on the floor and give the ball to Dembele

A solid performance which could have been more comfortable had we kept some pace on the pitch later in the game. Encouragingly, we were always looking to play football at every opportunity first half, and you could see an understanding developing between the players. Summerfield in particular was once again impressive, covering so much ground and having a positive attacking influence. Also, a shout out for Vernon who runs himself into the ground, and put himself about well. Let's try to play like we did first half all the time!

Happy with that despite missing the first half hour due to roadworks. And still managed to see us score 2 goals. Great to beat those cheating girl privates finally. Only real weak link for me was Matt who seems to have deep sea divers boots on.

Really good first half performance. When we keep the ball on the deck we look like a match for most teams in this league. We defended brilliantly throughout, the only blip leaving Pell unmarked for the equaliser. Summerfield had a great game as did Vernon with some great hold up play, Demdele was superb and MOM for me. Second half we were put under pressure, bombarded with long balls but thought we coped reasonably well but thought we needed to bring on DJ instead of Matt as we needed an outlet. A great 3 points. Is it possible??

Great for Dembele but even better that Summerfield is producing some outstanding performances and getting the ball more to do this. Slade mybe should have put D.J. on to keep the momentum going but at 3-1 he probably thought got to protect this.
Time to get off Summerfields back and give the man some encouragement.

Until our goal we was brilliant, knocking it around moving forward and defending brilliantly. Once we scored they took control and eventually equalised. After that it was scrappy but we was clever with the ball and got ourselves a couple of goals.

Apart from last 10 that was much improved. Dixon and Mills excellent first half. Could have scored another couple but at end maybe lucky not be be 3-3.

Didnt Mills come on around 50 mins to replace Dixon?
