Talk of Conference North football next season is galling.
We have sleepwalked into this mess. Why the board wouldn't listen at the end of last season I cannot fathom out. It was obvious it was never going to work out, yet we backed McCarthy, he blew the. Usher on below par players and look where it's got us. The board need to accept responsibility for this mess as they have allowed this to happen. Relegation to the Conference North is more a probability than a possibility now. Recruit the correct manager, give him some money to spend. Surely we've got some money somewhere and give us a chance to stay in this division. Should we go down, it could cripple this club. Attendances plummet, sponsorships plummet as the sponsors won't be getting as much exposure & you look at the teams in that division..... we wouldn't have a chance of making a quick return to this level. For the clubs sake, make the right decision. Football matters most on the pitch, that's the bread and butter.
The players can't be immune to criticism either. Short of confidence yes, but at least try to play for the shirt. Finally, Tom Shaw, you are paid to PLAY football. Do it. You got the easy route out by McCarthy, knuckle down & bloody earn your wage.

Spot on. I will never forget after the Boreham Wood game I saw an interview with Maguire straight afterwards, I genuinely thought he was announcing that McCarthy is leaving the club or was sacked. Instead we are got a massive vote of confidence and how he is the right guy going forward. Whoever gave that two and a half year deal needs shooting as the writing was on the wall end of last year. Since then we had a number of new signings including a few popular faces which got fans on board and made us gradually erase last seasons shambles about the shit we were put through. New start and new beginnings but the same old tired manager and terrible tactics was still my worry as we should have got rid and let a new manager build a new team with the increase budget. Here we are 5 months on from that Boreham Wood game in mid September staring at a massive relegation battle with a small squad with deadwood that need binning off, a pay off for McCarthy and an unbalanced squad with no money to bring anyone in. The board have put us in a massive predicament with there reluctance to get rid. The new manager needs big bollocks to get the best out of this and pull in a few favours to get 3 loan players in. |

It's going to take a while to get rid of the stench of failure that Burr and McCarthy allowed to be prevalent around the club. It's still lingering but hopefully the new manager gets rid of it asap
The new manager needs to get rid of Joyce, Davies, Dawson, Chappel and one of the keepers and bring in a speedy centre back to Partner Astles, a new goalkeeper, speedy left winger and a right back like Turner. Up front we are sound and James and Turnbull are solid in the middle. Mahon is on his day one of the best wide players in this league. The team has positives and Akintunde will play at a much higher level. If we can ship the deadwood out to some poor unsuspecting teams and get four quality players in we will be alright.
Today we've hit rock bottom so one positive is that the only way is up.

Feels like we got the hammering we've been asking for over the last few weeks, and could've got at Aldershot or Hartlepool. Depressing times really. Does it have to be this way? It feels like, through Burr and especially McCarthy, we've had it drilled into us over the last few years that we're small fry and a season of struggle is inevitable. We've become a club seemingly happen to make up the numbers for as long as possible in this lousy division. It is still early in the season and teams have survived worse (like us in 2001/02), but the new man has a job on his hands, that's for sure. Spot on with that. Regards Bert and Ernie talking like we are some kind of small fry set up with gates of a few hundred and that survival each season is like winning the league. It's the mentality of the club that has been 'aim low' and if we get just above that it's job done. Look at the teams top 7/8, it's a right mixed bag and there is no reason why we couldn't be challenging for play offs like last season but the mentality of the previous managers has grinded the club down from top bottom and more importantly the supporters who are worn down with it all. My fear is it's just not a case of a new manager will automatically see us stay up like a number of supporters seem to think. It goes deeper than that, we need a new manager and the right man asap who is able to shovel out the shite and bringing players in. We saw over the years how Halifax and York started slow, changed managers and bolstered the squads and results improved but still fell short. |

It all stems from the fact that we didn't sack Jon McCarthy at the end of last season.
If we had, we could of got a new Manager in, let the new Manager choose his own players and go from there.
As it is now, we face yet another relegation battle.
We keep being told how much these players love being at Chester and how much better they are. They haven't shown it.
A new Manager now needs appointing as soon as possible and needs to start knocking a few heads together and get these players playing.
It's just not good enough to year in year out scrap to stay in this league.
Chester FC should be looking at mid table knocking on the door of play offs.
Biggest decision that this Club has ever made is coming up this week. They best get it right!!!

The strange thing is the mood pre-season, though it seems a long time ago now, was very positive, with some even talking of a playoff push. I didn't really understand it myself! It was like everyone had forgotten how bad the second half of the season had been, and who the manager still was.
The season has gone pretty much how I thought it would - I think I said on here I thought we'd start slowly and McCarthy would probably be gone by Christmas, and then someone else will end up keeping us up. I still feel we will stay up, but we need a good appointment from the board. I feel they owe it to us to get it right.

We were totally and utterly incompetent all over the park today, we need an experienced strong manager, Are players don't look as fit as other teams and at times were clueless. It wasn't good today and the sad fact of the matter our younger section of fans walked out early, even talk of relegation which caused some discussion between them and our more experienced fans who rightly pointed out football is unpredictable, unfortunately for us this season it's extremely predictable that we will concede goals and inevitably get beat. Some huge decisions need to be made with regards management and even coach as Tom needs to be on the pitch. I think the club need us as fans to contribute more for our CFU membership and increase the numbers, we need to start raising cash ideas fir the club.
It seems obvious to me our membership numbers have dropped yet the clubs expenditure has increased. Our club needs us more than ever..

I think a few of the established board members were far too pally with McCarthy, and probably actually thought of him as a mate. A big mistake in my opinion, and probably one of the reasons it took so long to pull the trigger. Board members should keep a professional relationship with the manager.
I like Maguire, but even at the CFU meeting he was still full of praise for McCarthy and defended him to the hilt for his degradation of the club in press conferences when asked about it.

The signings we made in the close season definitely gave me some hope that we would improve from last seasons nosedive. On paper they seemed what we needed. I had argued that McCarthy should be given until Xmas not expecting the complete collapse we have experienced. Macclesfield home, followed by Torquay and Solihull away did it for me in the end.
It was never going to be easy for Shaw to make a difference in the 3 games he has been caretaker, and I am sure the players are current very anxious and need a leader.
I don't have a specific choice for the right candidate and hope the interview process is effective. I would be content with Bignot or Barrow or even someone from left field if they have the leadership needed right now.
Shaw definitely needs to be back as a player pushing Turnball and James, Waters needs to play more, the strikers need to be fit and we need some pace at the back. Not convinced by either Lynch or Mitchell after recent games.
I remain hopeful that the right man can I still some strength into our game starting with some 0-0 if necessary, we ship far tom many silly goals, and often late; always a sign of a team struggling.
However I am beginning to expect we will go down, but not so pessimistic as others on our chances of returning. We may need to take a long run at the Confernce again to get to be a contender again.

That attitude displayed by our last two managers still makes me so angry. We're Chester in the Conference, not Cammell effing Lairds in League Two. That pair, but especially McCarthy since about March, have really shown us, the people that paid their wages, utter disrespect and contempt. Maguire's (still) unwavering backing of him takes the piss too considering the bloke spent most of this season criticising the board. |

Relegation battle for sure. Not enough creativity from midfield and a chronic lack of pace at the back. And we keep conceding off crosses and corners despite 2 giant centre backs. Someone needs to get hold of Astles diet he needs to lose 2 stone then he would be able to cope better with the pace of the game, you get players at this level re Mac Nulty at Tranmere that can cope at this level but that's because he has played at a much higher level so can use his experience to get him out of trouble. Astles is a young lad with two good feet but he has come from the lower leagues and just seems to get bigger every season |

The board have put us in a massive predicament with there reluctance to get rid. That's exactly how I see it too mate. The 'negative' fans who called for Macca to go in March/April time were doing so in the hope of us avoiding being this inevitible and dangerous position. Those leading us couldn't see it though. Unfortunately there's a real risk it could contribute to our relegation. |

We played better than we did at Solihull, today. However Dover have the ability to finish us off as they have that extra quality, and they did today. Dover slightly edged the first half and 1-0 was probably just about fair, debatably harsh on us. The lads came out second half playing good attacking football and for 20 minutes we were all over Dover. Most frustrating thing is it's not like we didn't take our chances - we didn't have chances. Time and time again we ran towards their goal and lost it on the edge of the box; poor passes, heavy touches etc, a few times Bell dribbled the ball forward and ran in another direction?! Said we need a goal here, we didn't get it and they got a great second goal. After that all Dover, real disappointment, as if we got a goal early in the second half we could have won that.
Fair play to Tom Shaw who came over at the end, shook my hand and apologised.

The mess we are in is the long term and predictable result of not capitalising on the momentum the club had following three successive promotions.
We keep turning up with a knife at a gunfight, that is part time in a league that everybody knows requires a full time team. All the over cautious garbage about consolidating. It was unambitious timidity. Well we have not consolidated, the gates have dropped alarmingly and should we get relegated you do not need to be an accoutant to know which course of action will have proven to be the most costly.
I seriouly doubt we will regain national league status for a long time if ever should the worst happen.
As was stated in the summer thread on full time/ part time issue, how do you sell a club that sets out each season merely to survive, and offers no hope of ever making a play off spot? Macc stay full time and always finish above us, even the shower down the road stayed full time during their darkest hour financially. Ambition generates hope even when deluded and overhyped AND it sells tickets...
Chester is a former league club with potentially decent fan base yet we show the mentality of a solihull or Guisely when it comes to ambition. What a waste! Rant over.

Hard one to get through that, couldn’t make it up that were beaten by McCarthy like tactics. Dover set up like the away side, they sat back, defended and were happy for us to have something in the region of about 80% possession (I’m Mr Opta). The problem was that because we had very little creativity in our midfield Dover were quite happy dealing with us and picking us off on the counter attack. I’m not convinced they’re very good at all, they could even slip in to the bottom half as the season goes on but have a manager and players who carry out those tactics to reasonable effect. It’s basically what McCarthy was trying to do with us. Awful to watch but Dover can sort of make it work whereas we couldn’t.
To be fair whilst we were only a goal down it felt like we could get something out of it due to how Dover set themselves up, we had most of the ball but really struggled to create any meaningful chances. In the end they just easily picked us off. It was good to see Harry White start, he had some good moments and I thought Waters did well when he came on, despite still easily getting outmuscled when challenged. Not much to say about the rest though.
Fair play to Shaw, he faced the music and came over to us at the final whistle, he apologised and I shook his hand, he’s trying his best. Would like to see him on the pitch though, think he has some unfinished business.
Bit stupid that a big group of Dover fans gave me some grief at full time coming out of the away end, didn’t travel all that way for that nonsense. Didn’t even notice them as I had my head down looking at scores on my phone and they came up to me and called me every name under the sun for seemingly no reason other than that I was obviously an away fan. Wouldn't have minded giving them a thump but was outnumbered by about 30!

From Dover's forum:
"It wasn't as easy as the scoreline suggests. We scored 4 superb goals but the tactics were just mid boggling. Pinnock playing as the second striker? Brundle as an extra defender or extremely deep lying midfielder? Excuse me? Once Pinnock dropped into midfield, in the second half, the game changed enough for us to be comfortable. However, the two huge lumbering centre backs for Chester will not do as many 40 -50 yard forward runs as they did today. IF the Chester final ball had been any good they would have wiped the floor with us. But, as I said, our 4 goals were outstanding, as was GG, Pinnock (once he reverted to midfield), Kadell, Sho Silva and of course, Femi."

How do you expect a positive feeling/attitude to be upheld when the very people who are supposed to love our club have let it come to this because of sheer incompetence. You can't hide away from the facts. I along with many others feel let down and am frankly angry and bitter that'with so called control the club can get it so dreadlfully wrong. Before any one says why don't you have a go then. I am considering exactly that. |

As I've said we kept feeding it into White and Bell, who kept running into defenders on the edge of the box. And Hannah kept drifting wide, we need him on the ball central to right on the touch line as he was every time yesterday. |

As Anders says the first 20 minutes of the second half were hopeful. But a previous poster said we had chances but didn't take them. Not true. Dover sat back and couldn't create anything. Bell was very poor they took the ball off him easily every time. Waters looked to have that ingenuity but needed to start the game. I have often thought the criticism of Joyce on here Ott but yesterday he was woeful. As for the we have got 4 good strikers it's the midfield , defence and goalkeeping were we are lacking I disagree. Early season promise from White but is he ever going to be fully fit. Hannah tries hard but he is not delivering. Bell not convinced. Akintunde skilful but needs a clinical finisher (which he is not) alongside.
Ps. Unnecessary heavy handed a stewarding yesterday from a gang of boneheads trying to find something to do to control a crowd of 65 teenagers and oaps

How do you expect a positive feeling/attitude to be upheld when the very people who are supposed to love our club have let it come to this because of sheer incompetence. You can't hide away from the facts. I along with many others feel let down and am frankly angry and bitter that'with so called control the club can get it so dreadlfully wrong. Before any one says why don't you have a go then. I am considering exactly that. PM me your Paypal details and I'll bung you a tenner for some meter credit and the wires. And never say I don't love you.... Seriously though, I'm as gutted as anyone with all this. But there have been positives with the squad and we can play well and dominate games. We've got plenty of time to turn this around, and we're going to be fortunate that the league is tight this year. We're not the worst side by a long way as we're going to find out. |
