In our heads - We are massive with massive crowds - we can buy who we like . David Clowes knows we are losing £300k a month - we are potless . 

I think we're level on games. Bolton, with their games in hand and potentially getting Collins plus their grind out a result mentality, I can't see them falling out the top 2 and Peterborough just look a much more and organised side than us.   If we beat Bolton and Portsmouth maybe. 

If the finance guys are doing their job and ensuring that the club lives within its means, we should perhaps be applauding that. 

Yes that was very poor, and the two good goals scored by Bird and Collins can't overshadow an unconvincing performance. We were frustrated by a team that were able to get numbers behind the ball when needed, as well as causing problems in our half. 

Yes he's stepped up to the challenge, and is proving to be a good pro who doesn't hide, even when things aren't going well. 

Maybe knows we’re not currently at our best as a team so is trying to force things where he can? 
Also the offsides can partly be attributed to the timing of the pass can’t it? So with the team not in the best moment is the “wavelength” off between them all. 

We are still under the EFL/Kieran Maguire/Gibson/Parry protocol that stops us competing. Sacking Warne will not be an option for us from a financial perspective,
 
 

Yes, perhaps too much of an ask, considering recent performances. 

Vickers was superb against Lincoln and did well yesterday.  
 
Why is Wildsmith Number 1 !

I just watched the highlights- who was supposed to be marking the player on the back post in the last moments of the game who somehow didn’t score as it looks like dreadful defending 

I don’t disagree at all. Just making the point that, while the football department receives all of the brickbats, they are not in full control of the situation. It’s all down to cash really. 

Ronnie, absolute Rams legend!

Van der Predicto is taking his (crystal) ball home in a sulk.
4 points max available now from what looked like such a momentum building set of fixtures. That's not playoff form.
Injuries starting to pile up as well just as the window closes so we can't do anything about it which adds to the frustration.

I am fully expecting us to give him a warm welcome tomorrow by kicking the ball on to his head at every opportunity and at no point considering putting pace up against him to make him look bad. We are very thoughtful like that. 

Me trying to work out who to trust:

Smith's been out injured since the Bristol Rovers game. Before that he was playing regularly, his performances were steady and included a MOTM performance at Blackpool. What exactly would he be unhappy about?
You're entitled to your opinion on Smith as a player (personally, I'd be perfectly happy with him playing DM at the moment if that meant Hourihane played further forward) but the suggestion that he "wants away" by the OP is baseless and it's not sopmething I'd want to see unless it was effectively as a swap for a striker.

We do have a 'thin spread' of midfield players in the squad.
I'll get my coat.....

We actually "hoof it" less than most teams in this division.

This will be a tough game. Clarke has done an unbelievable job there so far. We should not be turning up expecting us to batter them 5-0, fans should get behind the lads. I really can’t believe the negativity, can understand the frustration and anger at the performance on Tuesday but we’ve had one defeat and 1 draw at home since October and we’ve won many. If Cheltenham do come out fast and press us it gives us the chance to potentially put the game to bed in the first 20 mins but I think Darrell Clarke will be cute he’ll have a plan to try and stop our ball players. 
Think NML and CBT will start and think we could cause them havoc. Cheltenham will make it tough but we’ll have enough to do the job. 

And then ending up with this another winger

No. It wouldn’t be appropriate. Applaud him when he’s warming up and when his name is announced. After that, for the next 90 minutes, he’s a player for the other team. Applaud him if/when he gets substituted and at the end but not during the game.
