Match Day Thread Todays match (23/24 season)

Come on it wasn't that good absolutely appalling, disgraceful clueless near the bottom of the table and yet again we lose and we fail not only to score but even look as if we are trying to win

tonight's attendance 7951

 

This is beyond a joke.
We can't beat anybody above or below us.
We can't score either.
The players must be totally disillusioned
Barton was better than this, so was Mangan.

 

Agreed. This is Tisdale-level rubbish. Perhaps even worse because at least we scored the occasional goal under Tisdale.

Taylor cannot be given a summer transfer budget, that would be throwing good money after bad.

 

todays line up v Cheltenham

14th minute Shepherd yellow carded

18th minute Harrop on Pett off

35th minute Evans fouled by Southwood and concedes and saves the resulting penalty, and seems to have injured himself in the process and is now receiving treatment but is now fit enough to carry on playing

39th minute Southwood down injured again and it looks like he will be replaced by Pardington who will make a competitive debut

 

Penalty missed

 

You didn't expect us to score from it did you, after all we hadn't scored for 690 minutes normal playing time

not going to be substituted after all Pardington going to have to wait a little longer

going to be plenty of extra time played with all these injuries

8 minutes in fact

We seem to be missing good chances in extra time to try and kill this game off

HT 0 - 1

FGR losing 4 - 0 to Wrexham and Sutton winning 1 - 0 if these results stay the same FGR are going to have to win their last 2 and Sutton lose their last 2 and FGR are going to have to overturn a minus 11 deficit in those 2 results
