|quote="I was disappointed not to be playing. I went on loan to get games and I didn't play at Wrexham, which was very disappointing. I was disappointed more to miss a second game in a row. I'm travelling up to Cheltenham from Yeovil to train every day and obviously I want to be playing. I've really enjoyed my time at Cheltenham. John Ward is great, the set-up is great, and the lads are brilliant."
