Not pretty and a bit frustrating considering that for once there was no real wind and the day was set for getting the ball down. That said really pleased with a functional 3 points.
Loathed to admit it but Cheltenham did a good job on Elliot and nuetralused our wide stacking threat to an extent that it meant that in reality the game was always going to be a grind.
Regardless of who their manager is there’s something I really despise about Cheltenham as their culture appears to be all about cheating and cynicism at every opportunity they have. The lad who ran his studs over Cook whilst he was on the floor should have been sent off, again weak officiating!
All the players worked really hard even if our passing wasn’t great the work rate off the ball and evident versatility earnt the points today.
Hess definitely MOM he’s a great competitor, has a really good engine and reminds me of Joe Waters when he has the ball at his feet.
In a poor game I don’t think any Town player had a bad game. Mentions in despatches for the front 2, Woolley, Ludwig and RHJ who for a relatively small CB dealt with the ariel stuff pretty well
Regardless of the quality on show Town’s approach won the day and the points. I also think MJ got his changes right at the right time and I absolutely get Davis in mid field for the closing stages.
Like I say the lads showed their versatility today and deserve a pat on the back as well as 3 points.
UTM!!
Regarding Embers they clearly did their homework on him and that included trying to wind him up. First half he was getting none stop sledging from their players. One incident early on set the pattern where they won a throw in and Embers had the ball. Their no2? pushed embers off the ball and muttered something then ran away smirking and slapping his mates hand. They clearly had a plan to urine him off.

I guess that’s why he’s out on loan, not right at all but a good learning for the lad, maybe he should send their No.2 a picture from his next England trip overseas. Cheltenham are just classless from top to bottom.

I only managed to make the 2nd half, but I could not stop praising RHJ in that 45 minutes. UTMM

I really like him, we need to get him secured long term though as I'm sure others would be interested.

Spot on, he was excellent again! Shame he’s got a 50p head though, you’re never quite sure which direction the ball is going to go in when he’s going up for the header 😂

I was not 100% sure of him in right back however he has excelled in centre back, I think centre back could be his new permanent position as he looks a natural and more comfortable than he does in right back in my opinion.

I think he’s good in both positions, would get him on a 2 year deal asap. Given his age we could get a few bob for him in the future. Him and Hendrie are a good threat going forward also.

Interesting we all wanted a pacey CB and we had one under our noses all that time, to think he's keeping Whitmore and Davis out says a lot for the lad. Amazing to think he was a Slade signing??
