A valuable away point and a chance for GP to blood young Cowan and to keep Hart in goal. The first half was a balanced, poor affair. The Robins set out to physically intimidate the Town players. Wilkinson, Edwards and Ashton all took heavy knocks. Second half we were camped in our own half. Spencer looked dangerous all night and scored a brilliant near post header. We could have been two or three down as we couldn't get the ball out of our half. I am not alone in believing that Aiston should have been on earlier in the second half to give some width and an outlet to the forwards other than hoofing it down the middle. In the end the Robins paid the price for not finishing the job. Thankfully Sheron was on hand to drive in the loose ball from a Langmead knock down from Tolleys free kick.
Nothing more to be said really except that I was pleased to see the young players giving their all but this will not be a team to win anything.

We're terrible away from home. No confidence and very negative - good job Cheltenham are poor too because we never started playing until we scored the equaliser.
That said I was happy with the point and there were again some promising performances - Hart, despite a couple of dodgy moments, played well as did Cowan.
Generally in midfield though was our poorest area, especially Jamie Tolley who was anonymous yet again. I don't think he'll be a first teamer next season.

This will make Emma upset if he does go, but it's time for Jamie to leave...that potential he had a few years ago has disapeared and quite frankly Sedgemore or Street give much more effort in midfield, but why they arent ahead of surprises me.

Hate to say it, but I'm starting to agree.
At the moment Edwards already looks the better player, and should start next Saturday IMO. Tolley just doesn't seem to have developed as a player recently. He's not bad on the ball, but goes missing too often to justify being in the centre of midefield.

There is a vaccous hole, about 20m by 20m that appears on the pitch where most football teams have a midfield
Tollay did well at one tackle though, he managed to make contact above the waste and not get a red card

Have to say, a light weight midfeild (i know Ashton is like a mini tank, but he is still quite small) and a complete lack of pace and width down the flanks makes us look like a really very dull, predicatble and crap team away from home....
