Gold Cup vs Tin Pot - The Cheltenham Match Thread

Three wins on the bounce, goals galore and a surge up the table to the giddy heights of 15th, only 2 points off the play-offs.

My guess is an unchanged starting 11, and on the prediction thread I've gone for a 2-1 Argyle win.

What could possibly go wrong???

Argyle team: Cole; Berry, Purse, Blanchard, S Griffiths; MacDonald, Young, Hourihane, Lennox; Gurrieri; Madjo.

subs: Chadwick, Feeney, Bhasera, Lowry, Nelson, Gilmartin. Sims.

PCH hasn't recovered from the injury he obtained on Saturday, so Lennox replaces him.

Zebroski starts for 'Nam. Top scorer Shaun Harrad also returns to the starting line up.

The #pafc starting line-up at Cheltenham tonight: Jake; Durrell, Pursey (c), Max, S Griff; Macca, Youngy, Andy G, Conor, Joe; So Madjo

2-2 to Argyle COYG

Same formation as Saturday then but with MacDonald playing as PCH did and Lennox out wide?

Lets hope we're as positive tonight.

Griffiths still injured? Maybe his body can't cope with the step up. Shame because he could do a good job when fit.

Another banker both teams to score I'd say.

Off topic, but Celtic just gone 1 up in the Nou Camp.

It'll never last.

He'll be back on blue watch before Christmas I reckon. Clearly nowhere near fit enough for professional football. Shouldn't have been signed.

1 up to the mighty greens COYG

Totaly agree freathy, said at the time the guys to old to turn pro, we signed him because he was cheap and free, how village

Right now we are 8th in the league and above sh1ty, fingers crossed

Bugger 1-1 nice while it lasted

GET OUT OF MY CLUB FLETCHER YOU CLUELESS MUPPET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

The clueless $*%^ has got to go. A pile of steaming dog shit would make a better manager

Don't hold it back say what you mean

Well that's it then Chadwick's just come on - game over.

It is now. Winning streak comes to an end

Freathy i've just spent the day on the naughty step for saying "speccy" Your going to get at least a week for that!

We're still only 4 points off the play offs but both Aldershot and Barnet picked up points so we're now just 6 points off the bottom two.

I expected an away defeat tonight but we went ahead and Fletcher played a pretty adventurous side considering that he could have gone for a 0-0.

Oh well.

Away at Rotherham is going to be tough.

A narrow defeat when away to one of the promotion favourites isn't the end of the world, certainly not in the context of having won the last 3. The reports seem to suggest we put up a decent show so hopefully it won't be long before we are back to winning ways. Things certainly seem brighter than they were after the Wimbledon home defeat at least.

I'll be at Rotherham, my first chance to see in the flesh whether we've improved much from last season.

GOS says we lost to 'high flying Cheltenham', in front of just over 3k. Look how far we've come when losing narrowly at a small town, better known for horse racing, is an achievement
If Brent/Fletcher can't mount a promotion challenge at this level, with a supposedly competitive budget, just how can anyone be enjoying the ride, unless they have the key to the executive toilets and a free buffet on arrival ?

Argyle junkies............... you've been conned by the speccy banker and his jamboys.

you should just be grateful have a club to support.........................

Free header from a corner, free header from a free kick.

Pretty basic stuff really

Tring has pretty much nailed it imho, those that think it was a narrow defeat away to promotion contenders or it was an adventurous side should just stop and think that this is the fourth division of the football league and as such it is crap, we are crap and it will stumble on with this bunch of deadbeats both managemrnt and players for the foreseeable future.

And while I am at it can someone PLEASE stop the fuhrer from being on the radio with his "mmmumble mumble em er I fink fings is ok!"

I fink that Brent might genuinely believe that the likes of Nool and Webby are fans leaders and are representative of the intelligence/sophistication levels of us all.

Why wouldn't he ? One glance around a fanfest or at the travelling faithdull , would lead most speccies to form that opinion.

What a very sad state of affairs.
