[billyturleyscurlywurly]

Must win.

Would like to see one change from Pompey.

Goodwin in for Rodrigues & a 4-4-2 with two number 9s.

 

[Victor1986]

Agree billy - BUT - Goodwin cannot (apparently) do more than 45 mins & we don't know if there may be a "gentleman's agreement" looming up on Saturday?

 

[DannyW]

Agree billy - BUT - Goodwin cannot (apparently) do more than 45 mins & we don't know if there may be a "gentleman's agreement" looming up on Saturday?

If there is a gentleman's agreement on Goodwin, we really will have lost the plot, or it will be clear that promotion was not required this year by our leaders.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

TBH, 'gentleman's agreement' or not, I am still shaking my head about strengthening the squad in January by spending a fortune on an injured striker who with 10 games to go still can't play a full match.

 

[Sarge]

play like we did v Pompey ( and put away chances created) & it should be a home win , 3-1 I reckon

 

[bazzer9461]

Yep home win 3-0 C O Y Y

 

[Foley]

Agree billy - BUT - Goodwin cannot (apparently) do more than 45 mins & we don't know if there may be a "gentleman's agreement" looming up on Saturday?

Where was it said that Goodwin can't do more than 45 minutes?
We have head nothing about a gentleman agreement , so I assume that using the case.

 

[oufc1991]

Well you know if he's fit Taylor will score against us so on that basis 1-1 with Harris scoring for us I'm not expecting an exciting game tbh ... Goodwin will probably be sat in the stands because we are a nice club like that

 

[BigAlan]

Points don’t make prizes. 1-1

Accoring to Rage Online we've W 26 D 15 L 19

I wonder which is correct?

 

[SteMerritt]

Accoring to Rage Online we've W 26 D 15 L 19

I wonder which is correct?

They are probably both correct. The RageOnline database goes back to pre-League days, that is probably where the extra games come from.

Hmmm 11v11 only have visits to 2001.

Hmmm 11v11 only have visits to 2001.

We'd probably not played them in the league before then.

 

[Mike_H]

Under the stewardship of Steve Cotterill, Cheltenham secured promotion into the Football League for the first time after winning the Conference title in 1998–99.

 

[Carpy]

or it will be clear that promotion was not required this year by our leaders.

To be honest, I think this much is already clear, I suspect that the board would have been happy to challenge for the playoffs before a ball had been kicked.

TBF wasn't the Cheltenham first season in the league, and ours in div 4, or 3 whatever it was called then

Rageonlinebprobably includes Southern league

Appointed ref is Marc Edwards, oddly he has only reff'd us for 2 games and both were against Ipswich!

Last season we dropped points against Portsmouth despite playing well and then in the following game thrashed Cheltenham.

Let’s hope for a repeat please.
