Watching on iFollow. I'm finding it hard to be to be positive. LOB has been OK. JJ looked up for it early on, but faded. Grimmer OK but a bit rusty. Mason, Thompson and Williams trying hard, but struggling at times. Central midfield Bayliss and Eccles look very light-weight. Shipley has generally been very poor. Bakayoko is isolated, looks uninterested, not much service, but needs a rocket up his arse.

Several people have implied on other threads that Bakayoko seems to have an attitude problem. How has he been playing tonight?

Nowhere near our worst player. Up front on his own with no support.

No idea what he must be doing in training for Robins to keep playing like it.

The first touches dissapoint me. So bad from nearly everyone on our team. I think it's fear. They look scared of having ball when near a Cheltenham player. Don't want to be tackled perhaps

Feel for those that have gone, not sure what they’d expected but this is awful not even competing and Cheltenham appear to be playing in 2nd gear!

Always think they should put warnings out when they are going to fuck about with things like this.

Yep, Cheltenham aren't even breaking into a sweat.

We will be lucky to get it into their half.

We won chdcktrade. Won league 2 playoffs. Had 40k to Wembley. Lined streets for celebrations

Yet weirdly the club still has no real attacking swagger. No confidence. Even alot of first teams are scrappy. rarely just turn up and take it to opposition from get go

Ngandu is way out of his depth. Bayliss is non existent. Eccles may as well have not bothered.

Jones is nowhere near close to reserve football.

In what way ?

We have 2 players over the age of 22 . It’s not great, but it’s not embarassing

All people paid money to play football. Playing a system which hasn't worked for us at all even with our first 11.

It will be an achievement if we get a shot on target, more than likely Luke Thomas trying a worldie (if he actually comes on)

Apart from that, is everything else OK?

Yeah it's not like we didn't go away from home and go 2 up within 10 minutes recently
