RedChaser

Claire is making some decent forays but the final ball is poor.

Building up a head of steam here.

Shame our corners are crap. 

aliwibble

Now we come down the left, good work between Fraser and Sessegnon, and Fraser wins us the corner.

We're playing some great stuff this half! 

Brain fart incoming in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

Corner taken quickly and the ball in pings off Ness's head and out for a goal kick.

Ness is so impressive on his league debut, we can relax with him on the ball

Goal coming soon 😉

golfaddick

Too slow getting a shot away.

Need to hit it first time.

aliwibble

Clare bombs through midfield into the area, cuts back to Dobson but has cross evades everyone and wide to Sessegnon.

Dazzler21

Sean Clare having one of those halves where you know he could be more than he is...

eastterrace6168

JRS should have played that shot first time...come on reds make this superiority pay

aliwibble

We lose possession, Dobbo wins it back, DJ to JRS back to DJ whose shot is deflected for a corner.

Briston_Addick

Ruck-Sacky lays the ball off for DJ who, instead of striking first time, takes two touches to allow the defender to position himself to block the shot with the third touch.

One day they'll learn ...

Redmidland

This is much better!

aliwibble

Corner in is headed away by the defence for another corner, and the 3rd one goes deep to Inniss who heads back in to the 6 yard box and their defence head away again.

golfaddick

Its Chuks time.

Much better start to the second half. DJ the weak link though 

aliwibble

A good bout of pressure from us there concludes with a ball forward that runs though to their keeper.

Stewart

Well that was an exciting 4 minutes. I enjoyed that.

Rak and Jaiyesimi both seem to have a problem controlling the ball tonight.

aliwibble

Cheltenham come down the right, cut inside, and then head over to the left. Eventually the shot comes in and McG collects.

aliwibble

Bah, nice bit of passing let down by Fraser's attempted pass to JRS being intercepted.

Callumcafc

Rak-Sakyi and Jaiyesimi off

Kirk and Chuks on

Dazzler21

Rak for Chuks, Kirk for... Jaiyesimi

Screen shows Morgan for Aneke... Have we all mistaken which player is Albie...

Briston_Addick

It's time.

Time for what?

Time to enter the cheat code ...

Oh, and Kirk.

DJ and JRS make way.

JRS and DJ off

Kirk and Chuks on

Ooh, ball into the box nearly comes to Kirk, then we go left and Sessegnon to Kirk again but it sort of bounces  off him.

aliwibble

Now down the right good interplay between Clare and Morgan, but then Morgan falls over on the touch line. Oops.
