Cheltenham Town Match Thread......

[Exile on Spencer St]

Probably right, F19 , but from the posts on here it sounds as though the young lands up front are being found out. Is it true, no shots on target over 180 minutes of football?
Tough times, will sort the wheat from the chaff.

My first game on after returning from hols.
After the game settled down at about 10 minutes into the first half I thought we went on and played some reasonable attacking football down the left via Wilson for most of the next 30 minutes or so up to half time. Cheltenham seemed to be there for the taking.
After half time Cheltenham straight away set about our midfield where we were found to be severely lacking. Aldred was playing well at the back under this pressure but our midfield was very poor in general. It was only a matter of time before the pressure told, and a highly debatable free kick award against Murphy for what looked to me like the best tackle of the match led to their goal, which was also down to poor defending by one of our midfield players. Bavs didn't really have a chance as I think the shot took a slight deflection too.
The bulk of our squad to me look like they have the potential to develop into a good unit with the exception of the midfield selected yesterday. We need to sign a couple of strong, combative midfield guys who can dictate play and who can also chip in with some goals. Sounds easy eh! I am sure that James Beattie will be on the look out for players who can improve the team.
It is early days yet. Keep the faith. We just like to make life difficult for ourselves!
Be just like us to beat Cardiff on wednesday!
ON STANLEY ON

Ian,
I hate to break it to you but where the chairman lives has no effect on the running of the club.

I said I wouldnt publicaly judge James Beattie as a manager until 10 league games had passed.
I think its important all the fans give him 10 games.

I do wish he would re-register himself as a player, we could do with his quality and leadership on the pitch.
There have some good examples of strikers who have been getting on in age, who have re-invented themselves as central midfielders.

Re; where the chairman lives YOU have your opinion and i have mine .... I agree love to see JAMES BEATTIE playing again he is still registerd as player so theres no probs there, the goals he scored last season were all gems and kept us up along with other goals by L.M..... Nobody's judging JAMES as a manager but certain players are not playing as well as they did in pre season against OLDHAM and EVERTON i'd like to know why?..... JAMES BEATTIE and DANNY WEBBER would be AWESOME up front..... once again only my opinion for what its worth ....

Jeffers and Webber would be awesome, two clever players who might understand each other.

Swallow the pride BT and go back with another offer to the big eared one

The problem with bringing Jeffers back is he's been running his mouth out twitter about how he's getting on with his coaching badges and the job that should have been his over the summer could soon be on the horizon. Also he tweeted after the Newport game that his phone should be ringing that day if we wanted to stay in the league. By all accounts he been making a few tweets aimed in Beats direction since the start of the season and basically making himself look a big headed twonk!

I think he could do a job for us but his attitude is awful. Seems he's happy to sit on his butt and make barbed comments rather than play.

By all accounts Jeffers was offered a good contract by Accringtons standards,but he and his agent wanted a lot more,he thought wrongly plenty of clubs would come in for him.As much as I would like to see him back at Stanley one must admire Beatties attitude that if they're only going to sign for Stanley if no one else wants them then we don't want them.......So sorry Jeffers stay on the dole with your pal JC.
