Dreadfull game , tactics wrong , team selection wrong . Sinclair isn't a winger , Lockyer is a defender. At least we can't get much worse .

With Lucas going I can't see him moving , can't see him getting a lot of game time but hopefully his first pre season in full time football has done him good.

Crowe was a sports therapist , Clark didn't want just another sponge man so hired someone who could write training programs and run the whole fitness side of things . He knew he couldn't go on the pitch and didn't care as that was not what he was hired for. Why he's gone to Cheltenham is pure speculation at the moment , maybe they offered more money or it was closer to home . If he can't go on the pitch he doesn't meet the criteria of 'Physio' (in general, or specifically the job vacancy that was posted online). So did Clarke hire him to change the role, hire him for a different role, or was he hired because someone else picked him and didn't realise he didn't meet the criteria? I don't know

How can anybody support the club on this one when we've known for months Kite was retiring but still haven't been able to employ a suitably qualified physio? We're lucky Cheltenham have offered Crowe an escape route or he'd be stuck on the wage bill all season.

He certainly looks quick based on that video although his shooting looks like it needs work. On a serious note, do we have players who can keep up and utilise that pace? The Beard. The beard heads home his own crosses !

I've had a similar experience and I've found the people gobbling off telling you to " be quiet " arnt gasheads and probably are at there first game them selfs . Shame you son and wife had a bad experience , hopefully you can tempt them back in the future.

Darrel Clarke didn't want to sign him as he had no league experience . Nothing to see hear time to move on I think . That James Clarke he signed has years of league experience though Yes but parks , Lockyer , mccrystal , brown and leadbitter all have so not worried about one defenders lack of experience. Let's not miss out on a opportunity to slag off the club though.

Why bother trialing him them? Seems like the lads been strung along from the outset to get him on peanut wages. He's been out injured for nearly two years prior to joining us . What would be stupid is giving him any sort of deal before he proves to us he hasn't lost a step .

Evening all,
Daft I know, but I'm currently planning to visit all 92 Premier and Football League grounds this season, not to mention doing it in the fastest time to break the Guinness World Record which has stood for about 20 years.
Decided to start at Bristol Rovers for your first home game a week on Saturday.
Anything I should look out for? Things to do in Bristol? Pre-match pubs? Etc etc.
You can follow @allaboutthe92 on Twitter to stay in touch with the challenge. what is the record time ?

Tin pot existence, making the players make their own way to Cheltenham for a friendly ffs, what's all that about? i've been told by a close source that the club had entered into a "watertight" contract with a national coach company to take the players to cheltenham. unfortunately the coach was delayed by some considerable time by traffic and the company canceled the contract claiming a cut off clause had been breached so all the players had to drive themselves to the game......... or so ive heard anyway

I know its only a friendly BUT last season we were a laughing stock for being a non league team and today we lose to the team we are replacing. I don't accept this only a friendly when you are playing a local non league side. The worrying thing is that our forwards have failed to score in the last three games and today it sounds like Cheltenham created the more chances and deserved to win. I maintain that we are three experienced players short and we have not signed sufficient quality to take the step up. A quality winger and a striker with a scoring record at this level and a central midfielder capable of playing alongside Lines to compete with Mansell are essential and one can only hope that DC will see todays defeat as a signal that we are not going to be able to compete this season on the complete cheap. Sorry DC but we should have a team at this stage capable of easily containing Cheltenham and securing victory. Before anyone asks I did not,thankfully, go today because I sensed what was going to happen and did not want to come away losing to Non League Cheltenham. personally I think we should sack DC, shoot all the players, burn the mem to the ground and erase every piece of history there is that BRFC ever existed. how dare he bring such irreversible shame upon a once proud club. i sit here with a empty whisky bottle with my shotgun in my mouth wondering how i'm ever going to get through the rest of my life knowing we once lost a pre-season friendly to cheltenham town. good bye world
