Bolton P-P Cheltenham

Next up is a home match against Cheltenham who seem to have found a run of good form themselves having won three and drawn one of their last five league games.

Nevertheless they are near the bottom of the table and we are near the top, we are at home and have won our last four games all over the Christmas/New Year period.

Seems we don't have any injury's either (apart from a couple of long term ones), but we do have two away on international duty.

On paper it should be an easy win for us...

...but will it be?

What do you think?

Classic banana skin in the past but I’m slowly beginning to believe in us

Should be an easy win with the form we're in but they are a big and direct team from what i remember last time we played them. They will make it tough and waste time from minute one i reckon.

This game should be a walk in the park with Cheltenham down the bottom of the league.

There will be plenty more twists and turns for the rest of the season but tomorrow will not be a bad result.

I agree Karly, I don’t see us slipping up tomorrow as we have done numerous times before most recently with Carlisle when we were also looking at moving ahead of the chasing pack. Like Fin I’m beginning to have more trust in this squad and feel they are learning to deal with all kinds of opposition. I think and hope that we are building Cheltenham up just a bit too much so I’m going for a comfortable 2-0 win.

Delay in match - players taken off, due to someone in the crowd being taken ill.

Hope whoever it is, is ok.

Yes, I hope they are ok too whatever it is.

The lads went back down the tunnel and it has been around half an hour now.

Annocement states they want a little more time to decide if the game will continue or not!

The game has now been postponed!!!

It must be very serious for the club to take this decision.

I guess they can't move the person so they have to stabilise them in situ and possibly have to helicopter them out, or perhaps the person has died and they can't remove them in front of thousands of people.

Doesn't sound good whatever the reason.

Hope Bonce and Norpig are ok and anyone else who may have gone from here.

You could be right there Sluffy.

Yes I hope Bonce or Norpig hasn't carked it.

You never know I guess, didn't Norpig's mate die suddenly and unexpectedly?

Anyway compare and contrast the following - Club announcement...

The BBC really are pathetic.

I'm fine boys. Couldn't go today, still being under the weather. Was watching online, and I hope and pray the guy comes through.
Norpig sits over there, so might know more.

Good job it was cancelled - we looked slow & flat after 30 minutes. Banana skin in progress ...

I read that they revived that supporter in the stands then took him away - hopefully be ok.

How sad.

71 years old apparently.
