i thought we played ok first half, second half was scrappy.though we should have been 3-0 up at least at half time.we were quicker to the ball first half defo.
Spot on with your assessment Cashy!
Should have been three or four up at half time.
Losing Harvey Rodgers with a knee injury was the real turning point for me. Harvey had defended their long throws particularly well but after he went off we were subjected to much more pressure in our own penalty box. Really hope that his injury problem does not side line him! Joe and I also thought that Tommy Leigh was struggling to keep going as he looked to be carrying an injury too.
Agreed with the MOM award but I also thought that Shaun Whalley ran him close.
In the second half we fell deeper and deeper into our own half and invited Cheltenham to attack us.
Our central defenders did well under increasing pressure though and Lukas Jensen was strong especially with the high balls.
The lads held out and we did deserve the three points.
I thought the Clayton End were superb once again!
Lovely touch for HRH Queen Elizabeth II with an impeccable one minute silence and a super rendition of the National Anthem.
God bless Elizabeth.

Btw, despite the yellow cards, did anyone else think this was one of the best refs we’ve had at Whambley for some time?
When I saw his name I wondered if we were in for another comic, but I thought he did OK.

Agree about the referee, he got 95% of things right, which I can accept to be honest.
