Cheltenham Town (A) | Post-Match Thread

Don’t any of you lockdown depressed fuckers complain one little bit about that goat of a football match!

That is what makes our game great.

That is the FA CUP ...


An underdog team grafting like a 3 pence brass!

A referee with the visual acumen of Mr Magoo.

A journeyman centre half having a fuckin worldy

And a young English kid from stocky not phased by any of it and delivering !!

Epic!

Fackin epic!

Felt a bit sorry for THB as right back is obviously not his best position. He did not do much wrong but offered little towards the attack or control in midfield.

Doyle did not do too much either - needs more experience at a decent level.

There were more senior players who played worse than those two but the difference is that Tommy and THB may not get any more minutes for the first team this season whereas Mendy and Mahrez will.
 
Mahrez was not great, like so many tonight but I thought he was more involved than Torres. But we look so poor attacking these days, miss simple chances and one on ones and certainly could have easily gone out tonight.
 
A shame Doyle and THB were taken off as they were both playing ok but it became a necessity. The subs created a rhythm with who came on.

Quality of a few individuals got us through in the end.

Some fucking ridiculous comments on here.

We played a team for whom was not just a game, not even their cup final, it was the game of their lives. Leaving NOTHING on the pitch.

And we fielded a team with 10 changes. 10. Players who have barely had s kick in weeks.

In this context this is a solid result. La Porte wasn't great but what do you expect after a long lay off? Mendy actually looked half decent at times, which makes a change.

Mahrez was actually OK, other than his usual being knocked off the ball like a 12 year old girl. But that's just Mahrez. He absolutely needs to man up.

Agreed , if you look at the match objectively which not many are we could have and should have won by 6 or 7.

Desperate goal line clearances , hit the bar twice , 9 shots on goal.

I thought they played to their ability perhaps upped it because of the occasion but really we had enough chances to belt them we just were not clinical enough and had some bad luck as well.

Their goal shouldn't have counted as the throw in was taken some 10 metres from where it should have , yes we were asleep but so was the ref.

In the end a well deserved win we were by far the better side on the day.
 
Fecks sake... I need a drink to calm down after that

With 10 minutes left it looked like we'd run out of ideas, no sign of a goal coming... and facing the most embarrassing cup defeat in our history and probably one of the biggest cup shocks in the last 50 years that would be brought up every year

I aggree.

I think the reasonning behind Pep logic was the seniors would be the calming influence.

I dont think the Kids had a particularly bad game either.
