Vital 1st Team Regular
Having unsurprisingly lost on Saturday to a side who had previously managed just a single win all season, we renew acquaintances with Cheltenham tonight for the third time in 16 days.
Things are looking increasingly bleak at all levels of the club, but I won't concentrate on that for fear of being labelled a "negative bed-wetter". Instead, I'll turn my attentions to all the positive news and activities at the club currently........
Apparently Tommy T Trublu and his sidekick Tammy helped out with the food bank collection at Tesco in Strood on Friday, that's a good bit of PR, although Tommy was told off for sneaking complementary tickets for the Brian Moore Stand into the packaging of various foodstuffs. People would rather have an extra can of value beans, he was told. Also, there's now officially enough spare capacity at Priestfield for each supporter to have a seat for each bum cheek at no extra cost, or to lie supine in the manner of Jacob Rees-Mogg in the House of Commons in the event that our sparkling, expansive football fails to sufficiently hold the attention.
Again, it would be negative and bed-wettery to mention the injuries we have, so lets focus on the positive impact that regular first team football must be having on the children (yes, CHILDREN!) currently being asked to play third tier football on a regular basis. Also, lets look at the benefits that Dempsey, Oliver, McKenzie, Lloyd, Lee, Reeves, MacDonald, Tutonda and Bennett will be enjoying as a result of their extended rest from football. Also to be welcomed is the beneficial opportunity for the suspended O'Keefe to reflect on his behaviour in picking up bookings with alarming regularity. He will surely return a zen master.
The uncertainty around our current managerial position is also a boon; by keeping everyone on their toes and in the dark it keeps the fan-base interested in the goings-on at the club, will he, won't he, who's next? Thrilling.
See? Positive!
If you're going tonight, you're either a hero or a glutton for punishment. I am glad it's my turn to put the kids to bed tonight as by the time they're asleep the first half will have concluded, meaning I only need to listen to 45 minutes of Lloydy saying "if we can just score one we might be in with a chance".
COYG!
