First win and that rarity in relation to Southend, a clean sheet. Please don’t remind me of this post if it all goes wrong! ?

Would keep Goodship in but the team/squad is starting to resemble a league 2 outfit - we have options where Macca can slot into the back line which is a nice option to have ....for once !!

Liking it, although I would like to think John White might be ready for the bench, in the place of R. Taylor.

Cheltenham losing at H-T.
Back in bottom two

 

[Mad Cyril]

Grimsby won 3-1.

Cheltenham there for the taking.

Grimsby won 3-1.

Cheltenham there for the taking.

Saw a video on twitter of one of the Cheltenham players stamping on the leg of the Grimsby player.

The comments suggest they have a history of it, so I'm assuming we are about to play against a bunch of thugs.

We don't do well against thugs.

Isn't Elvis on international duty? Thought it was said that he would miss two games

He did. Portsmouth and Exeter. Back for Cheltenham.

Anyone know where I can get hold of a tallish metal stanchion in time for Saturday? I've been able to replicate much of the West Stand match experience but I'm feeling wistful and nostalgic for the one that I had to peer round when the ball went down to the NW Corner. I've tried placing Mrs RHB in front of the screen but it just doesn't cut it.

Ahh forgot about Pompey, good to have him back

A good call.

The game on Saturday heralds a spell of no less than 5 games in a fortnight. Wonder how many of our players will be fit enough to play all five? More importantly how many points will we have after the fifth game? Let's hope we have some figures (other than zero) in the win column. A settled team would help enormously.

I confidently predict that our first win will come this Saturday. Onward and upward!

I think we will lose ... still a bit too early in the season I think.

I'll be happy with a point and no injuries

If Elvis is available i'd be tempted to put him back in however after Saturday's performance I think everybody deserves to keep their place.

Elvis has been poor,out of form! Stick with inform players

That joke's old enough it would probably do the job for you

I wonder if the elusive akinola will make an appearance!

True, last two games he has been completely anonymous.
