So unlucky, Phillips hits the crossbar.

[Keith]

Our first decent move and Phillips whacks the under-side of the bar! an inch lower and it would have gone in, but of course, with our luck, it flies back out. Almost rescued a point.

It took until stoppage time for us to start playing and create chances.

[Keith]

Rubbish. Again.

[Born again Bill]

Garbage , false dawn on Saturday

[Keith]

Horwich with a goal in 98th minute to go ahead v Burton, which helps.

We have been shocking this season but the daft thing is we are only 4 points from safety

4 points, 12 goals and played an extra game, good effort to make it sound not too bad

Hmm! As bad as it gets! Cheltenhams keeper could have brought a deckchair and reclined in it all evening for what he had to do i.e. nothing.

Stockton playing statues again has become a complete waste of space.An embarrassment to himself and the club. Has he had a shot on target this season? I can’t remember one.

Cheltenham as poor as it gets but we were worse!

[Redalert1970]

Not a great night but some positives (others might disagree)

Thought we defended fairly well especially Badeau (only conceded 2 in 3 games)

Shaw looks very good every game

Negatives for me were the attacking line all very very poor especially connolly and gnahoua

[dannymorc1]

We may only be four points from safety but on this form, how are we going to make them up?
I really hoped that we would be able to take some of Saturdays form into tonight's game, but we looked totally lost. Disappointing.

Too be honest Phoenix ... Ripley didn't have much to do either

As I said John two very poor teams but they were slightly better and that was enough to see us off. One spark of excitement near the end when Phillips hit the bar but that apart we had nothing all game.

[Redalert1970]

I agree

If your not on your game you get beat in league 1

Accy looked decent now lost 4 in a row conceding 12
Barnsley lost 3 out of 4
Derby doing nothing special

And that's the problem. Cheltenham were crap, but we lost. Burton were crap, but we drew. Fleetwood were crap, but we drew. Basically, it doesn't matter how bad sides are, they'll still pick up points against us. In the 'mini-league' of relegation candidates, we've managed one win.

I listened to their commentary for most of the game. At the start [while still 0-0], they said, "come the end of the season, if Cheltenham stay up, these are the games they'll look back on, for the points needed". Likewise, if we go down, we'll look back on these games, as the points not taken.

[Redalert1970]

To be fair Keith - Burton have improved since they sacked Hasslebaink and the Fleetwood game was the 3rd game of the season

Maybe i`m been over confident but we are still in the fight - yes we need to do much better but there are lots more worse things to worry about in the country / world than a simple football match !!!

No one likes losing - i hate it but in context its a FOOTBALL MATCH
