Cheltenham 2 Morecambe 2 (Cranston, Oats) iFollow Thread

[Keith]

Another lovely goal! Jagne's feet go all over the place, a couple of nice touches inside the penalty area, taps it back to Oats who finished well.

Bollocks, penalty to Cheltenham.

[bill ding]

Get in , now waste time like never before

[Keith]

Blasted over!!!
Baz made a double save directly before the penalty was conceded.

Dont panic, it was clearly going straight over the bar

[parceldave]

Have you cashed out already .

[Keith]

Have you noticed how every time Baz catches the ball, he then falls on it to waste some time?
Alex Kenyon taught him that!

Have you cashed out already .

No, wasnt worth it, still running..

Baz does that at 0.0

Oliver!!!!! Grrrrrrr... shocking and thrown it away says Quinny

[Andy D]

Just our luck.

[mrpotatohead]

Ouch!!.....still, a good point.

[Aspers]

Bugger!!

[P/T Indie]

Most teams below us won as well at 12 points we were looking ok but now we are just two points off the bottom two annoying!

[Castaway]

Oliver!!!!! Grrrrrrr... shocking and thrown it away says Quinny

What happened?

[Keith]

Oliver lost the ball cheaply, it got knocked to the keeper who hoofed it up the pitch, but the defence looked a bit shambolic too. We had a few decent chances to make it 1-3 but didn't take them. Feels like a defeat, conceding so late, but a draw was probably fair.

Bollocks to fairness, nearly 9 points from three games!

[marky No.1]

We spent the last 15 mins incl. injury time, messing about wasting time, fluffing one on ones, b@@@@@g about at the corner flag, we are useless at it.

Should be a good point but teams below have won and somehow Cambridge are in the drop zone.

Nevertheless, happy with 7 from 9

[mrpotatohead]

7 points off the playoffs!!

A few "fans" very quiet on here for a week or two

[redrobo]

Excellent result in view of the injury crisis. So pleased that Jagne took his opportunity of some first team game time to impress. Surely we should get him and Carlos signed up on improved contracts if only to stop other clubs stealing them at the end of the season. As before, well done to the matchday squad.

[fulwoodshrimp]

We might well be 7 points off the playoffs but we are only a couple of points off the relegation spots! It must be remembered that Cheltenham have been a team unable to score at home.Is it 1 goal all season until last night? That suggests our defence leaves room for improvement. Certainly upfront we are in need of improvement. We must be one of the few teams in the league playing a number 9 who cannot score a goal with any regularity and generally contributes very little. Yes, we must be pleased we have acquired 7 points from the last three games but we must continue to work hard to improve and take the opportunity in the January window to sign a couple of players. In all honesty we don't look anything like a promotion team and I suspect lower mid-table would be about right.

Excellent point gained at a ground where we don't get much from.

7 points from 9.

Happy.

[Seasider9601]

For those that went (I take my hat off to you), what sort of reception did Cranston get from his former fans of Cheltenham?

[Slanester]

Watched the game on ifollow last night, really enjoyed it. All things considered,injury situation etc, a fantastic point for the lads. Could and should have been 3, but that’s football. 7 from 9,and plenty of positives in the games. Can’t wait for Sat, a tough test yes,but team confidence should be high. Well done Jim, Ken and the lads. COYS.

[Gone_Shrimping]

Although it looks like a bad result when you are leading until injury time , if you look at the stats , we had far fewer shots than Cheltenham and only 2 were on target but at least they went in. Cheltenham also missed a penalty so 2-2 probably a fair enough result and makes it 3 unbeaten.

Someone mentioned us playing a striker who doesn't score regularly. Actually if you remove "regularly" it is a truer statement. Give Oswell a few chances of game time from the start and lets see if he can bang a few goals in.

[fulwoodshrimp]

When I described Oliver as a striker who doesn't score regularly I was being kind. I just feel he is way out of his depth and can't understand why the management don't realise this. I agree we should give an extended run to Oswell to see what he can do.

[outsider]

Harsh to blame Oliver, yes he didn't score, but his movement and chasing was brilliant last night. Maybe that it's not seen by the camera but his efforts last night were great. A constant thorn in there side. I hope he gets a goal soon as his performance deserves it.

[marky No.1]

I hope he gets a goal soon as his performance deserves it.

I think that is what the Management are hoping and persisting with, they are often giving him a hug and trying to spur some confidence into him.
If he was John Toshack he might not get as much stick for his poor goal ratio. What a large number can't understand is Oswell not getting a decent run in the team.
We get to see how they perform in a game, not what goes on in training
