line-up

Surprised to see Haynes,it looked like concussion on Saturday.Willmott in midfield,why not Evans.Again,the bench is lopsided with forwards,why not Howkins,unless he's off on loan.

Kettles on if anyone fancies a brew and I've got a packet of custard creams tonight

Anyone know if we are on radio tonight

First time in a long time i am fearing for the worst. That line up does not give me much confidence that we can create chances and put them away.. On a positive note, our defence is strong. I wonder if the Cheltenham players will have a certain Manchester City in the back of their minds.

Not on Radio Wales. They just said updates in the news bulletins. Pass the custard creams please Jim.

On the other hand Cheltenham have lost 2 and drawn 4 of their last 6 league matches, only scoring 2 goals in the process

And any luck Cheltenham players thinking of playing man city Saturday

Tom King lol

Don’t recall seeing that from a goal kick before, out of hands yes, goal kick no.

Who needs strikers
