Lucky win but credit to Cheltenham as they stiffled our passing game which was about all they could do.

Must admit, it was a very scrappy game with some comedy referreeing by monty panesar.

Glad we won.

Before the new year I wanna see a +ve goal difference, thats 4 wins in 4 games now :)

as much as it pains me to say it, the linos were on the ball tonight. I dont think we were going to get the penalty but the lino gave it

Too bloody true and I thought the lino was flagging a dive as well.

Singh was a bloody awful referee.
 


Winning ugly is great, again, every successful play-off campaign has such wins.

Not saying we are going to make the play-offs, the next 4 games will give us a clear sign whether we are likely candidates for that, but Cheltenham set their stall out to spoil the game in a similar manner to Boston earlier the season, and often all you can do with such teams is beat them, not play them off the park.

With their 5 in midfield, Cheltenham cut off the link between Revell-Robinson and our midfield - but at the cost of never looking that likely to make many chances themselves.

Well, the fact is that we never made that many chances ourselves because of that.

But we can be pleased we took one thanks to Kerry's very good set-piece (two set-piece assists from him in two games now) and won a penalty from another well-fashioned move.

Another example of us rescuing a game in the second half following Millwall and Swansea, showing a belief and calmness that our organisation and play will yield the killer moments of a game for us.

My only slight qualm would be conceding another sloppy goal that the defence didn't take charge of, and the prospect of going into future games without the crucial Butters-Hinsh partnership.

Other than that, a satisfactory evening and Wilkins I think was right to be upbeat in his post-match comments about the evening :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

LI,

That sums it up.

Grind out the win when you are not playing well - the hallmarks of a good team in the making.

Oldham will be a good test of our character. I believe we can get a result there and firmly believe that we can go into the new year period with at least 39 points on the board.

Confidence is growing every week and players are now taking more responsibility, that shows maturity and ambition.

I know, before you say it, I am not getting carried away on a wave of optimism. The wave is realsim!

AA Out.

:wave: :clap: :clap:

dont matter
Fingers crossed, that Hinsh hasn't done anything too major to his knee again.Interesting to see that rather than Santos coming on and slotting straight in at CB,DW chose to play Whing there and OGH at full back.
