Cheltenham Town (A) | Post-Match Thread

[KS55]

Shout out to the linesman, very close calls on all 3 goals, but got every decision spot on.

Jesus big toe might have been off. Off or on, VAR would have been delighted to chalk it off. VAR deprives us of perfectly good goals, compared to benefit of the doubt going to the attacker.

SWP?

I always liked SWP but preferred Flitcroft.

 

[Blue Potato]

Glad we managed to score a few times to interrupt the 90 minute life story of Danny Murphy. Foden and Cancelo when he came on were fantastic.

Well done Cheltenham, really put it up to us and played some nice football, also a very good interview from their manager after the game and were complimentary about us prior to the match. Good luck and hope you get promoted this year

Been reading all the great comments on our teams performance. THANK YOU.
And a MASSIVE THANKS for the fantastic support with the virtual tickets

All the best Johnny, your lads had me very nervous tonight.....best team we've played this year !

 

[SkyBlueHobgoblin]

TBH I was not surprised with our 1st half performance. Too many “ unfamiliar “ players, playing together. That said, I wonder how many of our experienced players would have approached the game with the same attitude had they been playing Premiership rivals. (Foden excepted). Foden played his “City” heart out. He certainly is our future........

Did the bbc mention it?

Their Chairman did

 

[Blueknows]

Fully deserved mate, your team put half the premier league sides to shame today, if you had pulled off the win, it would have been well deserved.. Thankfully we got our shit together just in time..

nice touch from the cheltenham manager after a lengthy chat with Pep picking his brains he gave him a bottle of wine

 

[lazerblue]

Me too. Its our age, still wondering when we revert back to the ...er...good old days.

oh no fuck that, this our well earned reward for all our years of suffering, but i still can't shake off typical City

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Just thinking again about Mendy, cancello got a load of stick and then had a run of games to play him self into form. Maybe Ben will get that chance too. Mahrez has flashes but can’t do it consistently. Poor signing

 

[Stoned Rose]

Their total lack of enthusiasm to our goals had me thinking that we had missed them or was offside or something. Took me a good 5 seconds after each goal to be given the go ahead to celebrate. Shite commentery.
Won't bother rushing out to buy Murphys autobiography, sounds dreary.

Murphy makes Chris Sutton look like he's won Best Personality on Earth 15 years running.

 

[Ban-jani]

There's nothing in Mendy's performance tonight that should result in anyone's knickers gettin' in twist. Vey unlucky not to have opened the scoring.

He got took off for offering absolutely fuck all second half.

first half he played well but as soon as Cancelo came on, we scored from his direct play.

Cancelo is the best full back I’ve ever seen at City

I liked the way May always seem to have a smile on his face !

Good luck for the rest of the season

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Thought Mendy was terrible tonight, couldn't control any ball and was tackling after almost every touch....good strike at goal but overall not good enough. When Pep took him off we played better.

I thought Eric 'n Taylor put the shits up me more than Benjy Mendy, but I did watch the entire game on mute. BenMen might look better on mute!

 

[heslops barnet]

We know more about murphys career than his family do.......twat

 

[RayCTID]

ten of those players didn't start against villa

Jesus played half an hour for starters

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

Well I wont tell you want my missus said ...oh I will ' wont it be nice for the underdog to score'. Needless to say 5 minutes later the air turned blue !
Thanks Phil you saved me from another divorce !

We are married to the same woman

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Foden, wow!!!!! The second half in particular, he looked like Yaya or Merlin at their peak. And the beautiful thing, everybody was just giving him a ball. No going back for you young man! Gundogan is just indispensable for us at the moment and Cancelo of course. He's been proving the whole season why we swapped Danilo and a big chunk of money for him.

Gundo and Cancelo have been like new signings this season and are both at the top of their game at the minute, having quitened some doubters. Both will be hugely important in the next few weeks.

 

[Harvster]

Sorry if already mentioned but unless I’m going stark raving mad, didn’t Steffen pick up another back pass in about the 90th minute?

 

[Rammy Blue]

Hopefully today put the cap on Mendy’s and Mahrez’s City careers, both useless.

 

[CBD]

On the current trajectory he may even overtake Mahrez and Sterling in the pecking order.

Is It 6 out of the last 6 for Phil?
