Let's talk about the Cheltenham Town game

[Chris Black come back]

Six days, three games. One game was extra time. Two away games with decent travel. One early kick off, one evening, one afternoon. Lot happening there.

Seven days surely, but point well made.
On top of that to come back from behind twice was good especially given the shocking conditions.

From kick off against Kettering to kick off today is six days (and three hours).

Very frustrating watch today.

A game we should have won with a bit more composure but the conditions made it very tricky.

As for the ref again, I am lost for words. Has someone at DRFC upset the refs because we are getting nothing from them. It almost looks to me they are deliberately trying to be biased towards the other team.
That’s how bad they seem to be at present match after match after match.

I thought the ref was poor BUT played a good advantage for our second......unless he just simply wasn't going to give the free kick anyway

He booked the player, so he obviously knew it was a foul.

However, it was the only thing he did right. His performance was terrible.

Will take a point after being behind twice but that’s definitely 2 points dropped. Again.

We’ve only won once in the last 5 and somehow we’re still 3rd. This league is shite but we’re not consistently showing we’re good enough to get out of it.

We’ve lost once in 13 games. No need for doom mongering. That was an ok result after we played away on Sunday and the Wednesday. Bound to take the edge off us.

Wow, I’ve just ‘liked’ your post GazLaz!

Well said that man.

I don’t really think it’s doom mongering. It’s frustrating to me that no team is putting a run together and so the league is open at the top but we’re failing to capitalise. We have a good manager, good squad including plenty of depth but we’re still not shifting from 3rd gear.

We’re resilient and show plenty of grit and endeavour to get back into games when we go behind, which is great, but why do we keep going behind? Maybe I’m being greedy but I’m hoping for (or probably expecting) better.

Edit - should also caveat that I didn’t listen or watch today so going purely on the result, lucky pint and messages from a couple of people who were there. Appreciate also that the conditions wouldn’t have done us any favours and the rigours of extra time and a trip to Fleetwood in the last week (although McCann could have utilised the squad more given that).

Your edit says it all.

Jog on.
