In-depth Analysis
Under Michael Flynn, Cheltenham Town had a disastrous start to the season, losing 7 of their first 9 matches and dropping to the bottom of the table. The poor results led to Flynn being sacked in September, and under interim manager Aaron Downes, the team suffered a heavy 1-7 defeat against Grimsby Town.
Fans expected the losing streak to continue weighing down Cheltenham Town, but surprisingly, the team has made a strong comeback. With club legend Steve Cotterill returning for a second stint as manager, The Robins quickly regained form, recording 4 wins, 2 draws, and only 1 defeat. Most recently, they defeated higher-league Bradford City in the FA Cup by a narrow margin.
With their current impressive performance, Cheltenham Town has plenty of reasons to be confident ahead of their home game against Notts County. Not only are they on a 5-match unbeaten run, but they are also facing an opponent in poor form: Notts County recently lost 0-2 to MU U21 at home and have lost 3 of the last 4 encounters with Cheltenham. Therefore, it is highly likely that the visitors will struggle to avoid defeat at The Robins’ fortress.
