Getting absolutely battered. Can’t keep hold of the ball since taking Angol off.

So effectively no one up front. Brilliant.

Bloody Hell , as soon as I post that we concede . Proves my point. This has to go down as a tactical mistake by Ross.

Clearly not. We've made three subs and have one 'striker' on the pitch. This comeback should be good. :?

To quote DD on the O's "they've created nothing in the second half, not even a half chance". Says it all.

Yes, it's very frustrating . Ross has to sort himself out as well as our defence .

Dulcet says harsh on the O's, but it's no more than we deserved, no cohesion at all going forward.

We spent most of the first half with the wind at our backs passing sideways across our back four and midfield no real impetus going forward, Cheltenham with the wind at their heels pushed their back four up to the half way line and pinned us back with some intelligent play.

Our midfield Cisse apart are rancid, Dayton not involved, Clay runs a lot but quality level on the ball zero and Wright has no bottle on the ball whatsoever.

And then we panic reshuffle and go with five defenders in an attempt to see the game out and we are just not good enough.

Scoreline wasn't harsh, we got what we deserved.

Another total clanger from Embleton. Used all the subs and took off his forwards. How can we equalise now. Another shambles from a rookie manager.

As soon as we play a half decent team, we're found wanting.

Ross made a tactically error . Really annoying because he's made the same mistake before and hasn't learned by it .
