Eccles just tackled Thompson.

 

---

[Nick]

Some great hold up play and battling from Bakayoko, manages to lay it off while on the floor. Shipley ends up shooting way over.

Someone said it can be watched on i-follow but it’s not allowing me. Only commentary.

Shows what I know obviously you need a pass for the match. To watch on I-follow derrrr .Frankly glad I didn’t waste £10 or whatever it was

 

[Otis]

Left Back coming on. Sam McCallum for Mason.

As you do at 2 nil down.

Might have an injury though.

Sometimes you are forced into substitutions, rather than it be by choice.

 

[Gazolba]

Just in case you've forgotten, Cheltenham are a League 2 side and were in the Conference as recently as 2016.

Being 2-0 down without a shot on target in the 50th minute should probably force substitutions too.

We only have Bremang on the bench for up front too.

Complete autopsy cannot be done till sat evening. If we beat Burton then no one will care about 2 cup losses in a row as squad rightly rested.

Lose 3 in a row and we will be talking about the importance of trying to win every single game for mentality benefits.

Oh bore off. There is very little else on the bench to change the game, no point risking injury to Thomas so may as well give different players a run out.

Yeah, but then surely also Jones and Grimmer are tiring too. Do you risk leaving them on?

It's a competitive match, not a friendly or reserve game.

It doesn't help playing a system that hasn't worked for us with our first team either.

They will be back in the conference next year.

 

[Nick]

burroughs coming on.

Assuming we lose , would that be 1 loss in the league in last 7 games ?

We getting the taxi out again ?

 

[Otis]

burroughs coming on.

Come on, young Jack.

Hat trick please.

 

[Johhny Blue]

It's a competitive match, not a friendly or reserve game.

It doesn't sound very competetive

 

[Nick]

Bayliss runs into trouble again.

 

[usskyblue]

Did we stick it up ‘em yet m8 ? They hate it up ‘em..

 

[Otis]

The meter has kept running just in case.

 

[Johhny Blue]

They will be back in the conference next year.

We might not be far behind them

 

[Nick]

Bayliss off for Burroughs.

 

[Otis]

Have to say, this is the worst City performance I've never seen.

 

[Johhny Blue]

burroughs coming on.

Hopefully for Eccles, Bayliss, Jones and Shipley

 

[ccfcway]

We really should get an Uber account, it would save the club money

 

[Nick]

Bakayoko battles against 3 of their defenders to keep it, lays it off to Jones who can't beat the first man with his cross.

 

[speedie87]

Like watching a Pressley team pissing around between keeper and centre halves

Passing is unbelievably bad

 

[Nick]

Get Bremang on if he is saving Thomas, let's see what he's about.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Williams is atrocious on the ball isn't he. O'Brien is awful as well

 

[Ashdown]

Sounds fab, just shows how weak our back up is if key players get injured. Cheltenham are at the bottom of League 2 as well. I know it's not that important but wins and good performances create confidence and competition all round

 

[Nick]

Williams is atrocious on the ball isn't he. O'Brien is awful as well

No confidence at all back there.

Eccles is trying to play 50 yard passes all the time.

 

[ccfcway]

Been watching this half. Gotta say, Jones looks tired.

It looks like it will take him some time to get upto speed

 

[Nick]

Hickman coming on as well. What's the point? If he wanted a fitness session he should have put something on for free for the fans to go and watch.

 

[Nick]

Been watching this half. Gotta say, Jones looks tired.

It looks like it will take him some time to get upto speed

he looks the same as the 10th minute.

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

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.

That time I saw us hammered 2-0 at Morecambe about 7 years ago always sticks out for me! What a waste of a day that was!

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

I know JJ has scored one goal and set up another since his comeback, but although effective before his injury, he was always a bit of a lightweight physically. I just hope he hasn't become affected mentally following his injury, and it is just a case of rehabilitation and proper match fitness.

 

[speedie87]

Yeah Eccles would be so much better playing simple balls but we so stretched from back to front , it just gives no options to pass and Baka is isolated
