    The crowd at Cheltenham will let these players know what they think from the first minute.

    More possession, more shots, more corners.

    Same outcome.

    Only good thing to come out of this game is that the Bradley Lowery Foundation came away with £38,000. These ****ing so called players need to grow a pair

    ... the back three are in love with each other ffs, get the ball forward!!!

    May sound like a conspiracy, but the starting selection smacks of the remaining coaches thinking they'd be showing support for LJ by replicating exactly how he'd of setup, and it backfired in spectacular fashion. This is why Keane would absolutely be the best choice. If you accept where you are, you perform in line with the acceptance. The standards are not set high enough, and the standards start and end with the manager/head coach.

    Worst I have seen. Think we played 2-4-4. Joke.

    No time to waste. Dodds and Proctor couldn't manage a kebab. Picked the same as LJ. Didn't have the foresight or knowledge to try to do anything.

    Defeat confirms the play offs at best. Keane or not.

    Costly.

    Short of turning out there's not much more he can do.

    38,000...thirty eight feckin thousand fans in that stadium today to watch a third division game between us and doncaster and what do they get.

    once again we start fairly bright, they sit and wait then start to play a bit and we fold after they score from then on we looked once again like a team thrown together for the first time ever...at least we know it was not all down to LJ.

    that's it, i am going to have a nice brew, breathe and repeat till i calm down.

    That is literally the only reason I could think of for doing what they did. Honestly I was fuming when I saw the lineup.

    Surely nobody is that ****ing stupid to think it would have been different today with the same team and tactics?

    He's running the business and ultimately success or failure all falls on him and his decisions.
