Eccles just tackled Thompson.

Some great hold up play and battling from Bakayoko, manages to lay it off while on the floor. Shipley ends up shooting way over.

Just in case you've forgotten, Cheltenham are a League 2 side and were in the Conference as recently as 2016.

Might have an injury though.

Sometimes you are forced into substitutions, rather than it be by choice.

Being 2-0 down without a shot on target in the 50th minute should probably force substitutions too.

We only have Bremang on the bench for up front too.

Complete autopsy cannot be done till sat evening. If we beat Burton then no one will care about 2 cup losses in a row as squad rightly rested.

Lose 3 in a row and we will be talking about the importance of trying to win every single game for mentality benefits.

Yeah, but then surely also Jones and Grimmer are tiring too. Do you risk leaving them on?

Oh bore off. There is very little else on the bench to change the game, no point risking injury to Thomas so may as well give different players a run out.

It's a competitive match, not a friendly or reserve game.

It doesn't help playing a system that hasn't worked for us with our first team either.

Assuming we lose , would that be 1 loss in the league in last 7 games ?

We getting the taxi out again ?

Bakayoko battles against 3 of their defenders to keep it, lays it off to Jones who can't beat the first man with his cross.

Like watching a Pressley team pissing around between keeper and centre halves

Passing is unbelievably bad

Sounds fab, just shows how weak our back up is if key players get injured. Cheltenham are at the bottom of League 2 as well. I know it's not that important but wins and good performances create confidence and competition all round

Been watching this half. Gotta say, Jones looks tired.

It looks like it will take him some time to get upto speed

Hickman coming on as well. What's the point? If he wanted a fitness session he should have put something on for free for the fans to go and watch.

Always think they should put warnings out when they are going to fuck about with things like this.

Yep, Cheltenham aren't even breaking into a sweat.

We will be lucky to get it into their half.

That time I saw us hammered 2-0 at Morecambe about 7 years ago always sticks out for me! What a waste of a day that was!

I know JJ has scored one goal and set up another since his comeback, but although effective before his injury, he was always a bit of a lightweight physically. I just hope he hasn't become affected mentally following his injury, and it is just a case of rehabilitation and proper match fitness.

Yeah Eccles would be so much better playing simple balls but we so stretched from back to front , it just gives no options to pass and Baka is isolated
