Odd how u "know and trust the info" yet only days ago one of your main questions for the CFU meeting was how many Cestrian 10 tickets were sold. WUM Piss off, it was about opening them up to a whole load of other questions about the timing of the release, questioning the way they've gone about advertising etc. yea right

Well it sounds like we might have a bigger fight on our hands than relegation alone, time for people to stop throwing rocks go to the meeting and ask your questions and get to the bottom of this mess.

Felt a bit sorry today for Kingsley, should have been moved to the centre second half but for all that I personally thought he was one of very few who actually showed effort and commitment to the end, even played out of position. Would have been my mom. Kingsley has played like your mom this season Very good Harry! To be fair Kingsley hasn't been played in his favourite central position this season often enough and has looked lost or even disinterested at times. Couldn't say that today though I thought he was our best player but yes I get it, football's all about opinions. It's just that yours is wrong....

I said it months ago, this lot could kill the club. And now Bignot has become part of the bigger problem. I don't agree with them, at the same time I can't criticise them, but some hardcore supporters are dropping off and apathy has well and truly set in amongst the support. We need to start building for next season. I really can't see Bignot being part of that and I'd place him on gardening leave and see if there's any expirenced managers about who are willing to come in for next to nothing whilst also only playing youngsters and anybody we think will be part of next season's plans.

That's what makes a forum. Kingsley should be played central, if anywhere. In my main post earlier I suggested that the 3 man midfield didn't help Turnbull or Dawson either. Poor management in my opinion. I doubt many posters on here would offer Kingsley another contract though, after his performances so far this season.

Think he maybe still under contract for next season anyway Harry. Certainly Bignot is far from blameless, he has made many strange decisions regarding selection or formations but the damage was done at the end of last season for me.

Amazed people are questioning Turnbells efforts anyboby who questioned his efforts should have stood on the Harry Mac first half if it wasn' for him would have been a cricket score. My take on the game no leaders on the pitch Astles will never question his ability but captain never. No pace no width feel sorrow for James stick him on the wing someone tell me why. Never agreed to bring players once they played for Chester look at Gateshead right back Mahon skinned him the last 20 minutes Vassell how bad was he. We have no pace to get us out of this mess but hang on Bignot James is not bloody Right Midfield play him in the middle alongside Turnbell Mahon to creative havoc and maybe just maybe Oody 20.Ch

I actually felt there was effort in that first half but it's unforgivable that coco Bignot played the formation he did, with a player who looked about as fit as my 90 year old nan.

In going to say it if nobody else will.... Dawson shouldn't play football he sprays 1 good 40 yard pass every 90 minutes and let's the game pass him by. Astles has potential to be a FL player but is too heavy regardless f what anyone says.(superb player potential IMO) James has been turd, Turnbull shows up 1 in 10 games, today he was okay but nothing special. Aki is too young to be relied upon to drag us out this mess and the bench looks like evostick standard. I think this is too far gone to save and I hope that we stick by the club in the Conf North because otherwise it's curtains with all these "big players" on two year deals.

Just some individual reviews from yesterday:
Hornby - not at fault for the goals made a couple of decent stops Halls - didn't do too bad, made on goal saving tackle Astles - slow fat lumbering lump - really don't get the love in for him from some. Yes he tries but maybe he could try harder in the gym. Jones - did ok, definitely potential there Gough - shredded by their quick winger James - out of position and clueless get him in the centre Dawson - mega crap Turnbull - average at best Shep - crap Akintunde - crap White - out a decent shift in Crawford - looks about 12 but showed some nice touches and was better than the rubbish in the first half Mahon - only player with any creativity
Bignot - clueless. 10 minutes before they scored we would all see what was happening as the midfield was totally overrun and we were getting pushed back. All it needed was to move the shepherd out to the wing and push Kingsley inside so we could compete in the midfield. Dawson moving over for 5 minutes would have given Gough at least some protection and then it needed game managing for 5 minutes until half time. But no, we just sat back, changed nothing and waited for them to score. The fact that they did it twice is doubly calamitous. What are we paying this manager to actually do?

The morning after the day before and it's still pretty miserable. One Sunday I just hope to wake up feeling good having seen a home win!
We now have 17 games left and are well into the 1.5 points per game territory. We have all but used up our games in hand We have won 5 out of 29 games
So, to stay up we need a win/loss/win/loss-type run i.e 8 wins Alternatively, something like W5 D9 L3 scenario
Doesn't look great to be honest
But, like the fool I obviously am, I'll be there on Tuesday hoping on hope that the greatest comeback since Lazarus happens I must be stark staring bonkers

So I am reading in the NLP today that MB said ‘There is no doubt we lacked a leader in midfield today’. Didn’t we have a player called Tom Shaw?
I am just not getting any of it.

There is probably more going on behind the scenes that we know about. The tweet yesterday from Legard was inferring there are bigger issues than we mere fans are aware of. We are then left to speculate. Shaw allowed to go for financial reasons?

From MB's post-match interview - "We are still on track to get the points return we need from January to give ourselves a chance."
I wish I could have some of what he's on because I'm finding it increasingly difficult to remain optimistic.
I appreciate he has to project a positive outlook but I just get the feeling a touch of delusion is beginning to creep in.

So if the Manager didn’t want him to go and is intimating this in interviews then starts to look as though there could be some cracks developing between the Board and Manager.

Not really surprised by that. I knew weeks ago we were down. The problem is that there is zero pace, in the team and the midfield is not existent. Add to that, the lack of creativity and a powderpuff attack and it is a lethal mix. Personally, I would play Jonathon Jones and Tom Crawford until the end of the season. Theese two lads are the only positives to come out of this season. Crawford played more forward passes. in 45 minutes than Dawson has done all season. Get Crawford and Gary Roberts in midfield. Jones along side Astles and Archer upfront and transfer list every player on a 2 year contract. (turnbull and Hannah should be shown the door). Get Matty Waters and Nathan Brown back from loan and see what they can do? The rest of the squad can be cleaned out at the end of the season. 100% this

Would have been my mom. Completely disagree, James is the biggest wage thief of the lot. He is below average at everything. Yes he gets put on the wing but he is a lazy sod on and off the ball. Look at his CV, more than a coincidence he gets relegated regularly

Anyway, for what it's worth the original poster's comments about James Jones are pretty valid as he seems one of the few things to be positive about at present.

There is not a leader amongst the playing squad and that is not hard to fathom!!
Oh for a Stuart Hicks type character right now on the pitch instead of Astles constantly shaking his head on the pitch when things go wrong without opening his mouth.

Where are the goals? Was looking forward to seeing Lucas Dawson jogging alongside the winger for the second goal.
