Flynn hopes to 'never' watch defeat as poor again

Michael Flynn took over at Cheltenham this summer after their relegation to League Two

Cheltenham Town manager Michael Flynn hopes to "never watch" a performance like their defeat by Fleetwood on Saturday again.

The Robins were beaten 2-0 at home, their fifth league loss of the campaign so far, to leave them 20th in the League Two table.

They had just one shot on target during the match and fans booed the players off the pitch.

"I don't know where it came from but it wasn't good enough. It was really poor and I hope I never have to watch something like that again," Flynn told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.

"I don't blame them [fans], they pay their money, they've got a right to voice their opinion and if I was sat in the stand I would have done the same.

"I'm not going to come and try and make any excuses or sugarcoat things."

Flynn took over in the summer after Cheltenham were relegated to the fourth tier and the playing squad has been almost completely overhauled.

They host Accrington at home on Tuesday as they start a run of eight games through October, with six in the league and two in the EFL Trophy.

"They're not used to winning football matches, so I've got to turn that around," Flynn said.

"Brought in 19 new players, I've had some horrendous injuries already and we've got to stick together and keep plodding on.

"As much as Saturday hurt I'm hoping we've drawn a line under it and they go and show some passion to the supporters on Tuesday night."
