Cheltenham (A) match thread - 17th Feb

[Owd Seth]

I am not expecting a free flowing, high scoring, pulse raising contest. DC will be well aware of our possible strengths and weaknesses, and for DM this week will have been, I think, focused on ensuring we are tighter. Perhaps 1 goal in it, and away support can make the difference. UTV

Not sure we have the players for 4231 then. Shelve that for a bit.

You’ll have about 100 standing and singing and the rest seated and hardly making a sound  SVA

OS, if DC knows our strengths do you think he could share them with the PVFC fans. Just hope the new manager makes them play with passion and pride. COYW

He will be aware, as every manager is. Really only likely to be Smith, Massey,  Ojo and Wilson starting from his time at the club. Unlikely to be high scoring or exciting.

Is anyone coming down to the game from The Mother Town who can pick me up a dozen fruit pikelets and bring them down for me.  
Going to be in the Kemble Brewery before the match and i'm in block H5 for my seat at the match.  Please DM me if anyone can help.

Manager says Lopata (and Loft) are good to go.

That’s good news 👍🏻 Not sure why I’m so excited to see the team sheet as it’s the same group of players available 😂 maybe sat here hoping there’s a little tweak from Big Dave

I just hope that there isn't a meltdown if we fail to get anything today because I feel these two away games are very difficult ones, however it would be nice to build up a bit of momentum for the two home games to come as well

I’d be happy with a point mate, ecstatic with a win & not so downbeat if we lose as long as we are competitive, expecting a difficult game. As you say the home games coming up are big games too. Think if we can pick our home form up under Darren we’ll be fine 

[nodge]

An away point is a great platform. We need to forget about the other teams, games in hand and just focus on getting above 50 in our remaining 17 games

I think all the personnel coming back from injury is a great boost at the right time and above all we have enough times/games to get out of this mess.

[NW9Valiant]

Will be happy enough with a draw, but whatever the result there is only one thing I want to see today and that's commitment and effort. 

Too often we have looked poor and without an idea. If we see some fight today that will galvanise me for the rest of the season. 

I don't know what it is but I am absolutely buzzing for DM's reign to start. I feel a lot of positivity even though I know it's going to be very difficult and there will be frustrations with DM along the way.
