A little of what was said by Cowley afterwards...........Having been booed off by their 1,423 travelling supporters after the game, Cowley admits that the second half showing from his side was way off they levels that they should be performing at.
“Unacceptable, not good enough,” said Cowley. “I thought first half, we had a good place in the game. I thought we turned them over probably into double figures, lacked the quality to find the all-important first goal.
“Probably here, on a very tight pitch, the first goal is important. Second half, I thought we were short in every area of our performance. That is really hard to take.
“We stopped doing the basics, pre-requisites that you need to play well and ultimately, when you come away to a tough place like Cheltenham, you have to win duels, you have to out run, you have to out right and you have out fight. “We stopped doing the basics and we lacked so much quality I thought. In particularly in the final third was well short.” ..............Can't be assed to go Tuesday evening, if they aren't bothered why should we ?
