Royal_jimmy Southwood will want to get one over on us as well.
And Sean Long. Spent five years in the Reading academy before being released. He’s been superb under Clarke and been made team captain. Will want to prove a point for sure.

Brogue Will be interesting to see how they set up as they must be thinking the same as us. Must not lose draw would be ok. But being the home team are they going to take the game to us.

Almost certainly 5-3-2. That’s the default starting formation.
Likely Street and Lloyd up front with Liam Sercombe, one of the best midfielders in L1, sat in behind them as attacking midfielder. Will Goodwin is an injury doubt. He’s been player of the season so far. If fit, he’ll start in place of either Street/Lloyd.

WestYorksRoyal People are getting carried away over the importance of tonight's game. Obviously we all want to be out of the bottom 4, but there are still over 20 games left after tonight.
This mini revival will end with a bad result eventually (not just a loss, but a bad result) because that's where the team is at. The key is how we respond when that happens, and the games against Exeter and Vale are the perfect opportunity.
Losing tonight would be disappointing, but not a disaster.

Cheltenham themselves are on a revival - seventh in the game ten-match form table (we're twelfth); winning five, drawing two. The upcoming home games against Exeter and Port Vale are more important to win than tonight and are probably easier (on paper). Still a big opportunity to get out of the relegation zone sooner rather than later.
Ideally, eight points from the next four (Cheltenham [A], Exeter [H], Port Vale [H], Wigan [A]) is the minimum we should be looking for - twelve is very doable.

Probably when some of the media team were made redundant

Small chuckle which immediately made me feel bad about it
