Re: Steve Cotterill after Fleetwood win

Would dearly wish to listen to SC's interview; however I'm blocked by the advertisements and pay firewall. Similarly at CTFC's 'home web site'! Not the best way to publicise the club!

Re: scope to grow

Of the rest; either at the races, watching that silly game with an oval ball in a nearby city or driving a tractor!

[with all the publicity (not) of a failing team propping up the league...and little local awareness that here is a league footy side close...what do you expect?]

Re: Crawley Town v Cheltenham Town

So much for optimism; no forward skill; passing poor, especially into final third. Bennet too slow and the early yellow curtailed his 'brashness'. Crawley looked more likley to score; penalty was far too soft, similar shoves on our players all over the pitch resulting in nothing. On this form; playe...

Re: Cheltenham Town v Accrington Stanley

From the safety of an armchair perspective thought overall a decent 3 points. Archer though flatters to deceive; runs into trouble and too many players all too often. Selfish, attempting a wild shot when a quicker slicker pass may have brought a better result. Too slow to trigger a shot up front; de...

Found the game on sky eventually! 1st 1/2 CFC just nicked it; a couple of chances for us; one decent save. 2nd 1/2 poor; woeful defending for the goal - an open a goal as could be!
