Robins v Pilgrims

[Boletus Edulis]

So cups out the way for both these teams this week. Cheltenham have made a number of loan and permanent signings, will this make the difference? I went on to the Robins forum and while the game was mostly ignored the few that commented expected a Cheltenham victory. Confidence? Delusion?

Will Argo be slow out the blocks like last week against Stevenage, or will they have shook off the aftermath of Wednesday night? This is exactly the sort of game we must win to maintain our hopes of automatic promotion. We have sold out our tickets and a number of disappointed greens will be colourless in the home end. Despite the hip thing on Wednesday, Carey appears to be back on form, and if he is we win. We are getting a bit thin on numbers, but we should have too much goal scoring power.

I thought this sounded odd, so have double-checked, I can't see a single mention of the game result tomorrow on the Nest, let alone a few expecting victory. Numerous comments on the shocking pitch and issues with the Fan-Elected Director taking on the role of Finance Director, and basic bitching about being negative/positive though.

As for tomorrow, we played very well against Accy and supposedly so against Bradford on Tuesday as well, so a few Cheltenham fans are feeling a touch bullish, especially after feeling a bit robbed in the game at Home Park.

I'd snap your hand off for a draw right now though.

It was on another thread a week or so ago and looking ahead the posters that mentioned it (and it was say only three or four so not statistically significant) all felt you would win.

I was suprised that there appeared to be no direct thread on the game. Is this normal?

Draw away is not unreasonable, but we have to be more ambitious than that. The worry is the physical and mental effect of Wednesday. Anyway hope there is a good game with an enthusiastic crowd - I'll be listening on the radio.

Was the frost cover on last night, and how cold it is today?

 

[Si Robin]

Frost covers were on, I've been out this morning watching my son play on astro and the ground at the school he was playing at seemed to be softening (although I am 15 miles away).

Inspection at 12:30, but last few times it's been like this it's been called off. I live in hope.

 

[Si Robin]

Decision at 1:15 - game more on than off.

Can't beat an injury time winner.. lost my phone briefly and fell into the row behind me. Limbs. Snatch and grab.

 

[Boletus Edulis]

Sounds like a draw might not have been unreasonable, but hey ho we got the points. Now nine points ahead of fourth, and a lot of the chasing pack behind them dropped points. We look a bit a more resilient than last year, beginning to believe.

Was Garita's miss as bad as it sounded?

Have a week off now to hopefully get some of the injuries back, as the number out is the bit worry at present.

 

[Si Robin]

Gutted after that. Finally get the goal we deserve only to be robbed again in injury time. I'm so glad we don't have to play Plymouth again this season.

They played a bad back pass which put him through, to cut the story short he ended up on his arse with the keeper out of the box and their centre back on the line ready to block it. Useless.

Wet Willy's Emre Can
He's better then Jaap Stam
We've got Sonny Bradley

Etc etc

Another one of those play shit & win performances. Awful lot of those this season which could be a blessing in disguise.
