Can't keep a clean sheet and with this defence it's hardly a surprise. Thanks to Ernie we are in a mess and it's going to take a good manager to lift these boys and bring some new players in. It's going to take a good manager to lift this boys? Our 30 year old centre mid has managed this in a couple of days no problem. |

Something needs to change or else Were going down, we as a club should be at least top half, but this is just embarrassing. We've got no manager. Reserve your judgement for a few weeks time. We have actually played pretty well by the sound of it. Chin up |

Completely gutted. We more than deserved a draw tonight and it seemed as if we played really well. In typical Chester fashion through, we concede just before half time, then make a mistake for Gateshead to score a last-gasp winner. Hats off to everyone who travelled up tonight. Must feel ridiculously dejected. Typical Chester, aye!

Bitterly frustrating tonight and a symptom of our trips to Gateshead. We never get anything there. However, if the board can appoint the right manager, and we can add 3-4 players to provide a bit of depth, there does seem to be a decent squad in here. They just need organising properly, the poor players like Joyce, Chappel and Davies need to be moved on and they need to work on their mental application. I can't decide whether the issue of late defeats is a lack of fitness, application or a bit of both but there is clearly an inherent issue that's been around the place for far too long. Definitely a mental problem. We haven't learnt anything from last season. Losing games after getting in front or level. Losing after pulling back from 2-0 down tonight is unforgivable. What the fuck was the GK trying to do. We must do better. Why wasn't Astles playing? He told me he hoped to play tonight on Saturday. |

This can only happen to Chester! The number of defeats by last minute goals this year is ridiculous.
As someone said, it's happened too often to just be bad luck. We obviously need a manager, but we need a few more experienced players that can manage games better in situations like this. Tom Shaw should be playing for starters!
Positives are that we have all of our strikers fit again and hopefully Astles, but it's quite clear that we are struggling for defensive backup and another winger.
Also Lynch doesn't look fit and Mitchell doesn't look commanding enough in the air, which is a real worry.

Play well first half. Gift Gateshead their FOURTH own goal of the season already. Start the second half, 45 seconds in mistake. 2-0 Gateshead. Give ourselves a mountain to climb. We climb that mountain with a stunning strike to young Matty Waters, and throw it away with a minute to go with yet another own goal. That's now five own goals Gateshead have received already this season.
Only at Chester can things like this happen. Unbelievable.

Same goes for Mitchell ahead of Lynch. Feels like we're loaning young players who are no better than the ones we've got. We might as well blood our own kids. Quite honestly I don't think Mitchell or Lynch are good enough. It would be good if we could get an experienced keeper on loan. Mitchell has been steady but nothing special so far, Lynch seems to have had a good summer and to many roast dinners. |

Commiserations to the people that have travelled to Gateshead. There isn't anything worse than travelling home after throwing a game away like that.

Didn't realise it was another own goal. How does a keeper manager to score an OG from a corner?
Our players scored four of the five goals tonight, and we still lose.

In a relegation battle after 10 games with no winning streak to get us out of jail could be the year we actually go down :-(

Lynch is the better keeper, or at least the more prepared keeper at this moment in time. |

We have been suckered by last minute defeats a lot in the past 12 months, but to me this comes from the amount of defeats we have had overtime and the negativity mentality that has been stinking the place out. When you are on a run of form like ours you go into games expecting to lose and then when you are on the verge of a result it's trying to close out the game is the difficult bit and often the hardest. Tom Shaw has at least given it a go but he can work with what he has at the moment. We have a losers mentality and this is going to take time to shrug off. |

When they said ball had bounced off corner flag and out on the wrong side I wanted to go on-line to Ladbrokes and put a grand on us conceding in the last seconds. Yeah, and I did fear the curse of the commentator when they said Waters had "rescued a point". Always time for the Blues to blow it! |

We need to win at least 2 games now to get out of the bottom 4.

How many times have we lost in injury time over the last few months . The difference tonight is that we sounded genuinely unlucky. But yet again it is all about a game management mentality at key times which we simply do not have. Question marks again over the JM recruitment (goalkeeper this time). Yet more reasons why Jon McCarthy should never have been allowed to continue after last season. Whilst Toms efforts are appreciated , a new manager needs to be appointed before the Dover game. I am struggling to see why this can’t happen as surely all applications should have been received by now, and given those we know who haven't applied, the short list is looking very short.

In a relegation battle after 10 games with no winning streak to get us out of jail could be the year we actually go down :-( Like I said above its going to take us a while to get over Ernie as manager both on and off the pitch. From his summer recruits, to keeping last seasons fodder, to his negativity boring tactics that have made fans walk away. Only decent results will get some of them back. |

Matt glennon was a decent keeper and always felt comfortable in a game and exactly what we need now. Lynch doesn't seem to care enough and Mitchell has been thrown in the deep end that he can't cope |

I think some of you on here need to give your heads a shake and put your dummies back in listening to the commentary tonight the boys gave it a right good go and Barr from a goalkeeping error would have go a great point after falling 2-0 down to come storming back to draw level, do you really think that we would have done this a couple of weeks ago I think not. Yes it is disappointing to lose the game like that but some of the rubbish being posted on here is unbelievable.

I posted at the start of the season that we needed an experienced keeper. It's been a false economy not having one. Could have bombed off the likes of Chappell to pay for one. I think that would be my first signing if I was the new manager. |

Gutted about the result but sounded like another good game, where we were at least giving it a real go.It will take a couple of games to adjust to the attacking style of football Shaw wants them to play. Hope the new manager continues to build and improve on This. I think Gateshead would have felt they were fortunate to have won that one.

Agreed Chester Ken. It sound like we did enough to get a point from the game but have beaten ourselves? Two much improved performances and conceding as we have it's clearly disappointing not to get a point. That said I never expected us to get anything from these two away games. I would agree that surely we could have appointed by the end of this week though?
Yes there is a job on for somebody to sort us out but you are absolutely correct that it certainly isn't doomsday already!!

Yes it is disappointing to lose the game like that but some of the rubbish being posted on here is unbelievable. Agree Ken to a certain extent. Think we are all bitterly disappointed to have lost the game in that manner. Not convinced with either of our keepers, a solid experienced one is probably needed. On Saturday's performance the on loan full back can go back to Fleetwood, had a poor first half but did improve to a degree second half. As others have said, whether it's a mental thing, or a lack of concentration to come back and play so well only to lose it's happening to often. Hopefully the new manager can improve the mindset and fitness of the squad and we can be the team who finish strongly and win games late on. |
