Cheltenham (H) Match Thread

Gutted really, so torn on Hurst, he’s made us so much harder to beat but I’d genuinely have rather lost a couple of these games just to watch us have a bloody go at it. Unforgivable how late he changed things.

[quote=120845]I think if we’d have gone too open they would have battered us but with 15 mins to go we needed more up front and in midfield and just brining on Coke wasn’t the answer. I’m a supporter of Hurst but can’t see what we where trying to do in the 2nd half.






trying not to get an absolute drubbing. Macca made 2 brilliant saves in the first 2  minutes, and we hardly had the ball in their half during the 3rd quarter. i'd love someone to tell me how many attacking throws, free kicks and corners they had in the 2nd half.
as bucks town said they'd have carved us apart if he'd changed it too early or radically.

I'd have settled for a point. I have hatred in my heart for Cheltenham and wish they would stick to horse lepping. I still have not got over the 2006 play-off final.

But remember they gave City more than a good game in the FA Cup until Phil Foden turned the match.

Typical gtfc performance on top score, fail to get 2nd, let opposition back into game, concede, fail to do very little positively for rest of game, lucky to draw/predictable loss. Rinse and repeat each game. Add to that Hursts subs, late, baffling and ineffective

Hung on to get a 1-1 that in any other predicament would have been a great point.

But, in all honesty I’m not sure how Cheltenham haven’t won that game with the chances they’ve had.

Hurst has built a team that is incredibly hard working without the ball, that nobody can seem to beat at the moment. But we don’t have enough quality when we are in possession.

Sad to say that Harry Clifton doesn’t have what’s needed.

The wing backs just didn’t get out and high today enough and were constantly pinned back.

In order for that formation it’s got to be fast on the counter attack, and we just don’t have any pace going forward.

Not sure if that is one more game towards safety, or one game closer to relegation. I fear it’s the latter.

I thought you had gone? You have more comebacks than Rocky.

But you only said 'farewell' yesterday???
I wish I could say it's nice to have you back but I would be lying

Quoted from Yoda

Hurst out he is useless a draw merchant yesterdays man sack him

I can already see Hurst's idea of a perfect season next year:

     P    W    D    L    F    A    Pts
    46    0    46   0   46   46   46

  Which is why we were always off the pace for automatic promotion in his National League seasons.

To achieve automatic promotion the team needs to be averaging 2 points per game from match 1, so slow starters never get up to pace and the play-offs is the best that can be hoped for. So no more 'Parslow Points', as stated elsewhere a win and a defeat gets 50% more points than two draws.

Why have you singled Clifton out?

I said farewell for the evening

You needn’t have been concerned or worried, I wasn’t going to leave you all. I wouldn’t do that to you
