Another gem from Cloughy was “never change a winning side”.

Seems like good advice but then he never had a side with so many old legs in it as we do now.

I don’t remember him ever resting Dave Mackay when Dave was fit to play

Dave Mackay had a spcial dispensation, in that he wasn’t required to “gas out” suring training or on the pitch.

 But he did play half his season games on the “ploughed field” that was the BBG pitch

They should have never put a pitch over Cotton Brook it was asking for trouble, but it was originally a baseball pitch not a football pitch.

Unchanged team for me please , not bad considering it was the most derided team selection pre game on here for quite some time , perhaps lampard s Wembley selection

Same here.
This is the initial set up for away matches for the rest of the season, injuries permitting.

Ward will replace Wilson when he’s back fit.

…………………….home matches could be completely different. 👍🐏

I think Barks should start based on his last performances. Seems to be on fire atm.

He does look good at the moment but they are all benefitting from the distribution of Fornah.

So it's universally decided that Cheltenham are complete tosh. One point and zero goals.

 

The table could look really good for us, providing we don't do a Derby today.

A game we absolutely should be winning.

I predict we'll probably make hard work of it but come away with the points.

Anyone on the train is going to be delayed, a points problem at Cheltenham. Currently no trains leaving New Street to Cheltenham.

[Van der MoodHoover]

Got to be careful of these.

They're a wounded beast.

5 at the back please Paul.....

Just arrived in cheltenham, parked up in parklands community centre car park, right next to the away end, opens at 12.00.

Fancy us to put in a performance today. Once A Ram Always A Ram.

Only Portsmouth in top 6 away today, most of them playing weaker teams. Need to make sure we win today and go into break with good momentum.

Anyone going to be drinking in the Beehive in Montpelier?

Need to get into the top 6 today for a psychological boost. Games coming up are against teams not quite as appalling as this lot today.

I think he meant Barnsley. Easy to confuse the two 🤪

Hopefully the only problem we have with points today.
