Too much optimism here. Cheltenham are one of our bogey teams. We've played them 8 times and won once which was the last time we'd won before Derby. And we were not remotely convincing in that 2-1 at The Valley. We have a better record against Millwall ☹ Jones has got us playing better but this will be tough

I don't think it matters that we've only beaten them once in 8 or how we played earlier in the season. We're a different team now with a proper manager.
Looking forward to seeing their Kinsella. Will he be as good as our hero? I don't know if our teams confidence will be high, low or medium after Isted's disastrous blunder. If we score first we should settle down and win. I would rest Dobbo to avoid him getting a booking, then he just has one game to go before he can really get stuck in again.
Cheltenham who are obviously the equals of (Real Madrid, Barcelona, Man City) . Why are so many on here “Happy to get a point”. We are playing Cheltenham one of the worst teams in our league. Do these fans really believe we are not a better side than Cheltenham. Is that how low our opinion of ourselves has dropped.
These are truly sad times….
Current firm belies their position. Terrible start to the season otherwise they would be mid table.
Harder game than Northampton & we'd better be on our toes defensively. Matty Taylor loves a goal.
Since signing in January, Matt Taylor has scored 4 in 7.
Jones has had a clear positive impact. Cheltenham will be fighting for their lives. It is a good test and the next stage is maintaining the progress and levels we have recently reached. If we do that, we win.
Gab Sutton (one of the best self made EFL pundits on Twitter IMO) says he’s going tonight and his record at Cheltenham this season is 2/2 losses for the home team.

That chap Nathan Jones is starting to look like he might know what he’s doing so on this occasion I’m proposing to leave picking the team up to him. It’s a big responsibility for him but I’ve every confidence he will rise to the challenge…just don’t start Ladapo, save him for later in the game and play Kanu and Chuks upfront to batter the opposition defence with Alfie having a free rein behind them.
you cannot start Chuks.....ever
Nathan can, it’s the ‘managers’ that think Chuks can play up front and also run around at speed and cover 3 quarters of the pitch, wing to wing like May and Dobbo that shouldn’t start Chuks.
Chuks doesn’t need to run around to get the ball and keep two or three opposition defenders occupied because the ball goes to him (and he controls it) and those defenders never leave his side
Just a reminder that Einstein's definition of madness is trying to do the same thing and expecting different results. '30 minute' Chuks is what we've got, and we should pray we can continue to have even that.
There's actually no evidence Einstein ever said that. It's probable that Rita Mae Brown originated it but even that's not certain. It's very easy to misattribute quotes to Einstein I've heard
Absolute bollocks..... we all know the only thing that goes well with bitches is nice bread.

We're a different team now with a proper manager.

He'll be confident. Not to be underestimated.
Think Bakinson (assuming he's not injured or anything) will come back in replacing Coventry.
Isted
REG Jones Gillesphy
Watson Small
Bakinson Dobson
Anderson
May Ladapo
AMB, Thomas, Edun, Coventry, Cámara, Campbell (Aneke if fit), Kanu
Their goal comes in the 94th minute as Isted smashes a clearance against Lloyd Jones's massive arse and it dribbles over the line.
Come on you Reds!
