@SmokeyTimRobbo It was Lankester who tucked it in and was the one flagged for offside? You are right though, miles onside.

There’s no fucking way March was offside for that one in the first half that would have been 0-3. He’s been robbed of a hat trick there #CreweAlex

@booncafc I love how triggered you are by this. Tweeted more about the bookings than the performance and win. The ref has really rattled you hasn't he? 😅😉

My guess is probably not because he keeps his distance. Stupid that that should even be a consideration really.

@booncafc Picking up more bookings for 'excessive celebrations' than for actual fouls shows just how much of a jobsworth the ref was today. I agree though, it's a moronic rule that needs binning.

Getting booked for celebrating with fans is genuinely one of the stupidest things they've added to the game. Keepers can waste 30 seconds on a goal kick for nothing, you can celebrate infront of opposition fans and antagonise, but GOD FORBID you celebrate with your own fans...

The highs and lows of football. From a demoralizing defeat last Saturday to an incredible performance today. A perfect day where they bagged 4, kept a clean sheet and could have scored more. #CreweAlex

A point for #CreweAlex. A good come from behind draw? Or a frustrating performance where they were fortunate to get a point? I'm more in the latter camp, but there were positives to take on reflection. My review from tonight: standingalone1877.com/post/cheltenha…

@GrestyRoadender Again, they missed an absolute sitter around 20 minutes from the end which should have sealed the points. We were outplayed for the majority of the game it was a very fortunate point. xG doesn't match the eye test.

@StandingAlone77 Were you at the game ? Because in the ground it didn’t seem we were fortunate.Had a better XG than them.

They didn't lose. They started the night 3 points off the play-offs ended it a point closer. But the reality is, it's another very poor all round performance where they were fortunate to get a draw. Need way better in front of a big away crowd on Saturday. #CreweAlex

@GrestyRoadender Yes. Cheltenham should have wrapped it up with that Hutchinson sitter where he hit the post when it looked easier to score. They were very fortunate, a better team would have hammered them tonight.

#CreweAlex are 9th for a reason. They are far better than what they showed on Saturday. This narrative about them collapsing in the final stretches of seasons needs to be rectified and there is no reason it cant start tonight.

In my preview of what is hopefully the last Tuesday game of the season for #CreweAlex, I look at the end of long away days, their recent struggles and how Cheltenham still aren't great, even in spite of their current unbeaten run. standingalone1877.com/post/cheltenha…

@StandingAlone77 @Hack73 @booncafc Thomas lol. Sets the example by hiding for the entire 90 minutes. Powell gets stick but playing by himself most of the time. I can't believe people rate Thomas the way they do.

Looking back on yesterday, whilst it's not an excuse, I do think Walsall enjoyed a new manager bounce. Changed shape, which probably caught the Alex out and put in a hell of shift for the entire 90 minutes. Why #CreweAlex couldn't even come close to matching that, I don't know.

@StevenDale96 @Hack73 @booncafc Dicker is another Morris, doesn't have the right temperament to be a manager. If they did sack Bell, they'd give it to either Mike Jackson or one of Demetriou/Thomas I think.

@Hack73 @booncafc @StandingAlone77 If they thought Kenny Lunt was worth a go, he'd have had it years ago. You can't just appoint the assistant in Dicker's case. Morris was an exception because he was only the assistant for about two weeks.

@booncafc Next 2 are very winnable. No reason with the squad available not to get 4 points.

@StandingAlone77 I hope that these two games have taught very important lessons in terms of approach, game management and tactics for the managerial team. Need to get a win Tuesday so that this March onwards form isn't a habit.

@StevenDale96 Yep. Hutchinson almost did a double take when he realized he was the one coming off. Just a baffling first 2 subs. Made no sense.

@StandingAlone77 They also weren't baffled by bringing a centre half on at 1-0 down in the second half. Kept it simple. Everyone in the stand was confused so i imagine the players were too.

@SmokeyTimRobbo What is their style of play? Are they a passing side? Long ball? Set pieces? Do they play down the flanks or down the middle. Too often, they look utterly confused as to what they are supposed to be doing and that stems from the sidelines.

That, along with a chronic lack of athleticism throughout the team made it a pretty one-sided affair. Bell has to find some pace and mobility but also maybe take a leaf out of Byfield’s book, remove some layers of tactical nuance. Simplify the game and ask them to just play.

Yesterday looked like a game between a team of players who were confused about what they were supposed to be doing against a team that knew exactly what they should do. Concerning that Bell has been in place for 3 years and Byfield for 3 days. #CreweAlex
