Chairboys vs Weak Forum Presence Utd (CTFC)

[longmover]

Last seasons fixture was a cracker, six goals, two pens, one sending off, 11 minutes of extra time and Town nearly won it at the death.

Cheltenham looked stable(er) against Lincoln to grind out a 1-0 win, not much flair but the weather didn't help. The defence held firm after conceding six in the previous two games giving big concerns that the heads would drop under pressure. Pell should be back which should give us greater presence in the midfield apart from that can't see many changes, hopefully catch WW in doubt after their loss last week but I'd take a draw away.

1-1

Ffs only 5 subs one of which is a keeper and no defenders we're really struggling now having to play a midfielder in defence as 3 others are out injured. Our strikers look good but we'll have to score at least 3 goals to even think about winning today.

Pell on the bench, unchanged from last week. No Atangana on the bench which is a concern

Get In!! Brian Graham, lets try and not concede in the next ten

Goals from Eze and The Beast have turned at around.

The Beast scores his 9th of the season. 3-1.

Another 3-3

Didn't think our patched up defence would hold out.

Graham will be our top scorer this season

Out all day today so had to follow the game on Twitter. Was surprised to see us take the lead, less surprised to see Akinfenwa get his usual goals against us. At 3-1 you'd usually say that's that, but this squad love a battle and are made of much sterner stuff than last season's team.

Given our away record, this is a fantastic result for us and with 17 points in the last 9 games, we're showing we're definitely no mugs.

Just seen the goals, and that is absolutely horrific officiating by the officials for our equaliser. If I was a Wycombe fan I'd definitely be spitting feathers.

Not even a difficult one to call, it's right there for the linesman to flag. If he's looking at it, what exactly does he think he's seen?!

Story of our season we've had some right clowns this season,had that been a defender on a striker in the area he would have given a penalty for sure,ffs the linesman couldn't have been closer I posted above before the game we'd have to score 4 to win with 4 defenders missing and a midfielder playing at right back.

 

[longmover]

Still massive concerns about our defence, nine goals conceded in the last four games and watching the highlights I can see why, basic errors and not tight enough, Akinfenwe just stood unmarked in the area and horrendous clearances. Good job we have goals in the team.

 

[Si Robin]

As long as the officials keep their eyes closed when we're attacking

To be fair I saw some CTFC fan had posted some goalcam footage where Akinfenwa pretty much flattens a CTFC defender for one of his goals.

I went to the game (a relative rarity for me these days) and was spitting teeth at the time, but hey ho, I honestly believe these things even themselves out.

You would have to also admit that we're such a bunch of whining, griping cvnts that there may be an element of "cry wolf" syndrome going on - if we contest and moan every single decision, perhaps it's to be expected that every now and again an official thinks, you know what, fuck you lot?!

Anyway. Next...

I have since seen that footage so I suppose the cliché is right, things do even themselves out - just not usually over less than 45 mins.
