Cheltenham

The playing conditions are going to be a bit interesting this afternoon. It's extremely windy at pitch level and the pitch is a little threadbare in places (Cheltenham ground share with Gloucester City here I believe)

Stanley's players should be used to less than ideal conditions though eh?

Cheltenham are also unchanged from their last outing, a 1-1 draw at Northampton.


Good job it's not up here, it would have been off :)
 
The whole Stanley squad has travelled, so while the players in the starting eleven go in for final instructions the rest are having a shooting drill on the pitch.

Times like these that you realise how many players there are in the squad!
 
Teams are out - decent Stanley following away to our right.

The team are all in black this aft.

A minute or so until the off
 
Edwards and Wes Thomas have collided in the centre circle. Both down and need treatment. Ref waved play on initially and Melligan shot over for the hosts.
 
24 - McConville crosses a free kick from the left. Long has a free header, but guides it over
 
34 - great skill by McConville to dance to the byline on the right and cross low. Procter shoots, but it hits Melligan in front of the goalkeeper
