I think that attendance figure is wrong for the record, definitely said 11500 or so on the screen anyway

How is Sam Stubbs doing for you?I really don't know how to judge us at the moment.
At half-time I said it was the typical Cheltenham peformance for this season - no shortage of effort but lacking massively in the quality department.
Defensively we're quite sound - whilst Chesterfield dominated the game, they had very few shots on goal - save for pot shots from outside the box (and Dobra's absolute sitter of course). The biggest issue is in creativity - we're dependant upon mistakes by the other team. Like yesterday when the keeper decided to help us out by coming a million miles off his line.
Injuries in our wing-back/full-back areas are starting to become an issue now though. Haynes is out for 3-4 months, and AJB did his hamstring in scoring our equaliser.
Hopefully it's not too bad, but we're slowly working things out. Lower mid-table looks likely.
Barrow have got some really decent players. The test will come through the winter, when fixtures and injuries pile up. Do they have enough depth to maintain it? I'm hoping we've finally addressed our depth. It made a big difference for us today, as Accrington were knackered and we brought some decent players off the bench. Another 5 minutes and we win that.
You will definitely be hard to beat on the evidence of yesterday. Not much finesse, but just the type of players to get you out of this league.It's early day's but I see no reason as to why Wimbledon can't finish in the top 7 and i expect us to do so . Obviously the caveat to that is not picking up too many injuries. The obvious candidate's to be up there as ever are the bigger budget team's with better squad depth. This league is just a long bloody grind.
Can't call this league at all this season. Which will surprise many as it has been said I do give off the impression that I know everything.
Will be loads of twists and turns over 9 months. Will be interesting to see how it pans out.
478 BetX. A cracking little made up Chinese betting company. Think it was about 10 Yuan mate which is about £1 pound sterling.Did you get around to confirming the bookmaker and odds for your Dave Artell sacked next bet?
I might have slipped past me Stocky but I can't see a response to the questions.
Sames happened to us since we went out league. Went down to around 3000, we now get 7-8-9 thousand a game. Now loads of kids/families coming and wearing shirts round town. Getting rid of toxic owners does wonders (and starting to win a bit of course!)Our aim was the now infamous '8 through the gate' which for 20 plus years we never achieved and tbh rarely got close.
We didn't achieve it until we were in Non League. Since then it's gone up and up. It's unbelievable and brilliant to see.
Looks a bit of a tougher league this season on the whole. I don't think there'll be a single side as good as any of last season's three automatic promotion winners but the rest of the division seems to have tightened up. Definitely a more interesting season ahead and as you say, more difficult to call. Stockport did well to get out of the easiest L2 ever last season but you really have to tip your hat to Wrexham who have ridden the crest of the easiest ever 4th and 5th tier seasons all the way to a double promotion.Can't call this league at all this season.

We can play when we want to. We had Jake Reeves missing yesterday . He controls the game for us.. He sets the tempo in the middle of the park and gets us playing a bit.You will definitely be hard to beat on the evidence of yesterday. Not much finesse, but just the type of players to get you out of this league.
As you say though injuries to key men can have a bearing. After losing 2 players to injury yesterday, we now have 8 out injured.
Wrexham are on a different level financially. Matter of time before they're in the Championship. We held the wolf (or the dragon) from the door temporarily last season to finish above them but they'll be above us this season. They've got solid Championship and proven League One players with probably the 2nd or 3rd L1 budget (unsure on Huddersfield's figures). We are well backed but our market is mostly young players who looked good in League 2 like Fevrier, Bate, Mingi, Addai or young players who have dipped their toe in L1 and showed promise but not cracked it like Fiorini, Diamond. Different markets to be honest.Looks a bit of a tougher league this season on the whole.

You take things far too literally mate.Thought as much.

No Grimsby fan I interact with on here honestly believed I'd signed up to Ladbrokes or whatever, put a bet on David Artell to be sacked and them come on here and with a straight face told them to start kicking off in the ground to help me win a tenner.
I always do try and make it fairly obvious when I'm not being entirely serious.
I disagree massively, last season we wouldn’t have created enough to miss 5 chances from 6 yards out, we’d have just passed the ball around for 90 minutes and not caused them any trouble…then given the ball away in our own third which we didn’t do at all I don’t think.
This is pretty much everything I was going to say. We’re not a million miles away but somethings not quite gelling yet. Drummond unfortunately nowhere near ready to be leading the line.Today was so, so frustrating. Probably the 4th time I’ve said that this season, when considering we’ve only played 7 games is bloody impressive…Saw the Cheltenham gaffer called it an ‘unbelievable’ point for them, and tbh I think that’s an understatement in the balance of play.
90% of what we’re doing currently has been excellent to say we’re new to the division. We’ve dominated 6 out of the 7 games, we’re scoring in virtually every game….But at the moment somethings just not happening for us to get over the line in some of these games. It’s actually criminal that form the 7 games we only have 2 wins. Absolute carbon copy of the Swindon and Salford home games that one today. Never looked in any danger of conceding at any point, should have been 2/3 up by the time their one and only chance came, and just like that it’s 1-1. The goal conceded today was the worst of the lot mind, the most basic ridiculous goal to concede out of absolutely nothing other than a long hopefully punted clearance upfield from our own throw deep in Cheltenhams half… wtf is Boot doing all that way out, just leave Gordon to deal with it ffs. I’ll let him off because he’s been excellent, but that was a moment of madness from him.
It’s so annoying because in general our defending has been miles better than last year, which was always going to be case with the improvements we made to it over the summer, and we haven’t conceded more than 1 goal in any game… but at the moment these one off lapses are costing us. Alongside us not being as clinical as we should be at the other end too mind… Dobra’s sitter today blew my mind, he’s normally slotting that with his eyes closed.
Anyway the positives…. Our goal was brilliant play from Berry, great run into the box going past 2/3 Cheltenham players and then laying on a plate for Markanday. Fleck was on the bench for the first time, so he’s one step closer. Colclough returned, and he looked as sharp as ever. Firmly believe he is our best player when he’s fit and flying, he is absolutely impossible to defend against one on one. Madden also made his debut after the calf injury he picked up in pre season, and despite only playing for 10 minutes I thought he showed some good moments, glad to have him back available. Thought Dobra was unplayable, but I just can’t get that miss out my mind after Colcloughs put it on a plate for him.
I’m still very confident in this team though. As I say, just not happening for us at the moment, but we’re only going to get stronger now that bodies are coming back… roll on the Donny (A) next week backed by 3,000 + blues
I doubt we would double our gates to 32000 if we went out of the league and came back!.Sames happened to us since we went out league. Went down to around 3000, we now get 7-8-9 thousand a game. Now loads of kids/families coming and wearing shirts round town. Getting rid of toxic owners does wonders (and starting to win a bit of course!)
You must have been chuffed with that absolute gift from BootI really don't know how to judge us at the moment.

But made less noise than us with 10,000 less fansIt was 9,000 and a frankly embarrassing following almost but not quite justifiable for a variety of legit reasons. How we reached the final that season I will never know.
Fast forward to National League play off final against Chesterfield and we take 23,000.
