Match Thread: Cheltenham Town v Port Vale

[Bycarsbill]

Doubt whether it'll be a great spectacle.  Obviously he'll go tight at the back again for damage limitation reasons!  Fingers crossed, Cheltenham have an off day.

At 5pm can we just remember these are top of the league and want to win as much as we do before we go writing off the new manager.

Looks a better side than the one we picked Tuesday. Shame to still see them numpties on the bench. 

[Iron Curtain]

No Burgess again... must have a knock which would explain why whitehead was involved on Tuesday which shows how down to the bare bones we are.

If DC does turn out season around he deserved a lot of credit and a medal.

I just hope Rodney is on the left of the 3 as I feel he is at his best there.

Spot on 

Let's hope no injuries as the bench looks horrendous. Bare bones job . 

He's picked possibly the best side available other than Swan maybe for Guthrie

Will be delighted with a boring 0-0

Expecting to lose 1-0 

Zero confidence in this squad. I'd love to be proven wrong

I think that you just need to be a) registered, b) capable of walking, to get on the bench at the moment.

It's not too bad of a side.

But we're playing a really good side here.

Cheltenham score all sorts of goals - set pieces, long throws, individual brilliance etc.

Gary Neville said they are the best team he's seen in L2 this season.

Anything other than a loss will be a miracle.

Challenge there is it means you have Mills at right back and Crookes at left back... 

We might score 1 but we would conceded a hell of a lot more.

Sproson says Swan has not been well with heavy cold, reason he wasn’t involved Tuesday.

Also says Cheltenham wanted him on loan, and have already been after him for next season

Spot on WV.

Fans said they wanted an experienced manager to come in and shake em up, DC has racked up found an unbalanced injury strewn squad and has got no chance of changing the personel so to go writing him off is a joke.
