Time to start the ball rolling with attendance and score predictions: The capacity is 7,066. Their last home league fixture was against Plymouth, when the attendance was 3,450. I reckon 4,500 and Cheltenham 0-2 Pompey
Cheltenham Town FC ‏@CTFCofficial 4m Half-hour played, and Pompey dominant. Positive signs in the last couple of minutes but there's plenty of work to do here. #ctfc 0, #pfc 1 Retweeted by John Rose Expand Cheltenham Town FC ‏@CTFCofficial 21m Should be two. Agyemang should have doubled advantage but spoons over. Pompey playing impressive brand of passing football. #ctfc 0, #pfc 1
Pompey player saying we're looking leggy - Guy needs to get his subs on. Padovani looks like he might be coming on - maybe for Barcham who is looking like he's on his last legs. Bird coming on for Big Pat. Shaun Cooper might also be coming on - not known who for yet.
For the first time I find myself questioning Guy's tactics - always the same, goes defensive late in the game, sitting too deep and inviting the opposition on - we're bound to concede because we always do. Only consolation is that we get 1 point.
