Another tough assignment, and need a result of sorts after Monday's disaster. Looks like parry will be available and in sure we'll hear more tonight on some of the others. Cheltenham have yet to lose this season and had two impressive victories over weekend.
I assume this Cheltenham fan doesn't really realise they've spent most of their history below us, and I certainly don't put them in the same bracket as Bristol rovers or Tranmere.....
"saw their ground on the BT highlights looks a right sh1t tip and we will be on an open terrace behind the goal it seems so let's hope it doesn't rain. Hoping for 200+ away fans up there but I see this game as a real acid test as it's our first to one of the smaller clubs who will clearly see us as a big scalp to take (they beat Rovers last season and Grimsby/Tranmere this)."
.......................Deasy
Dens.....Parry.....Leather...Griff
...Sinnott...Moult....Bowerman
........................Laurie
..................Rankin....Reeves

Big scalp my arse. WE were a big scalp when they put us out of the Trophy with a striker in goal for them.
Their ground is unarguably better than ours, but finances have much to do with that.
Any team that play with 10 men for 82 minutes away at Torquay and win 3-0 have to be respected. This will be a very difficult game.

Saw the game on tv v Wrexham and they came back well from going behind...
Gary Johnson has got quite a big physical team.
Were in for a tough game against yet another top team..
As for the fan fretting about getting his/her hair wet..... Bring a fkn gamp..

I am sure to be in awe of this big scalps' 200+ fans. How will we cope with the swarm? Gary Johnson once knocking on the door of the premiership with the mighty Bristol City, will probably feel more at home with our comfortable non-league surroundings.

That midfield will be overwhelmed I'm afraid. Glad my son has a birthday party to attend.

GET IN!!!!!!
Just got in - well pleased with that win, Heathcote scores for Alty huh...
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

We have broken the record! That's our 20th Football League scalp. Amazing that we are allowed to play a Football League side in a league match. I will be writing to the FA to confirm that Cheltenham are indeed in the Football League and that the record is ours.
All together now "Heathcote, Heathcote..."
-
You couldn't script that, Terry prachett couldn't pen that, what a fantastic result against (in my opinion) the best side we've played since we've been back down. Battled like warriors and would have been happy with a point, but you couldn't script that, lovely round of applause for Sam in the bad afterwards also. At this rate we might need to do some crowd funding for the reopening of the loan window...,

A quite Wilkinson-esque cameo from young Charles. A fine performance from the lads. Particular mention for Bowerman who looked a different player from Monday and terrorised them down the left.....but the real Man of the Match was the majestic Scott Leather.
-
Very, very happy to have maintained my 100% incorrect predictions record! Seriously, sounds like a great performance against a previously unbeaten team. Well done to Lee and all the players - I just wish they could perform as well against the league's crap!!!
-
Everyone loves a late late winner!
Top effort from the lads, Leather excellent yes (hope his beak is OK for Saturday - possible broken nose apparently), but Ranks was also superb up front and had a real ding-dong tussle with their no. 5 (Downes, sponsored by Just For Men). Deasy made some good saves and Griff had a very good game too.
Up to 16th..

Did I miss someone called Charles come on?

Well, not now he couldn't, no...

Well done lads fine result
-
Considering how many injuries we have, that was a great team effort. Sam coming on late on and scoring was almost unbelievable. Brilliant.
-
Great result over a very good Cheltenham team.
So good to see Sam Heathcote score the winner. His Dad will be made up, the Heathcote family deserve some good news especially after the sad death of Graham's brother Phil.
As for the popular side it was apparently an oversight by the club re the fence. I have to say in defence of the club, the scaffolding is much improved from how it was and it was good to stand in my old space under the gantry and it was good to have the folks from the golf road end joining us in the second half and I ended up a bit hoarse after joining in with some of the singing.
Thought the ref and pop side lino were poor but the result was great and capped off a good day out at Moss Lane...
Well done lads...
-
What a thoroughly good performance that was after the debacle on Monday. Not only that to concede in the last 10 mins and then regroup and go again is fantastic. They looked like I thought they would, a decent full time professional outfit with a mix of big, small, fast and decent players. Leather and Parry were superb, Deasy some good saves again, Crowther looked like a different player.

Really? I thought the referee was one of the better ones.
-
Great result , thought officials OK myself , and please can we play top five teams every week we would be champions if we played like that.
-
That was focking brilliant. One has to love a 95th minute winner.
-
Where can we hang our big scalp? Can we put it next to our tin pot?
Gary Johnson certainly wasn't walking tall when he left moss lane today.
Great win today
-
Hang it with other two we already got so far this season ;D
-
Terry prachett couldn't pen that
Well, not now he couldn't, no...
got his latest book last week.
But a fantastic result
-
Another great result, lets keep this solid home form up. Guttsy
-
Wow couldn't see anything but a loss coming after their equalizer.
Hats off to LS for the late substitution, thought it was a bit weird that he put Heathcote on LW and not Swift. Took his goal really well and I'm delighted for him.
Thought Leather (with busted nose), Parry and Moult were outstanding. I thought Bowerman was poor, so no idea how he got MOM, but its all about opinions.
Believe Havern defo back Saturday and Clee and Richmond might be back.
Bring on high flying Wrexham
-
I wouldn't want to break up the Leather/Parry partnership at the moment if both are fit and available. I thought they were magnificent against Tranmere and it seems they carried that on yesterday by all accounts.
-
Whilst there's no reason for the segregation fence to be up still. I would glady have it up the game after a big fixture if this ensures the big game (ie Tranmere) passes off as smoothly as it did.

A flexible solution is obviously required. A series of pens towards the Chequers End seems reasonable, giving space along the part of the Pop side for 1800 Trannys and none at all when the likes of Droylesdon come calling in the trophy. I am delighted to hear about the ground committee, so we can finally get on with solving this problem.

Glad we are open to diversity!

To be fair, it's all a cost implication.
If you've paid for police and there are extra stewards then a piece of tape in the chequers end will suffice. Like v Grimsby.
Good of GR to explain. And at least it was because of the quality of the scaffolding/segregation ie we could just open it up, needs to be done properly.
