Match thread Chester FC v Wr*xh*m

Behave CF. Love nothing more than beating Jester, but I'm man enough to give credit where it's due. They were better, we were woeful barring Manny, Pearson & Akil. Other than those 3 we were woeful tonight. We luckily came away with the 3 points. But I bet we play better than that this season and still lose.

I predicted it would be 100 either side of 4,000.

Massive support.  Absolutely massive support.
Pubs are packed with fans celebrating on High Street. The last train came in twenty minutes ago.

I saw plenty of pubs turning Wrexham away.

Less than 3000 home fans isn't particularly massive either. Sad to see all the empty seats in the home areas.

Close game. Our defence carried us through and not for the first time this season. Draw might have been a fairer result but ill take It!

Good luck for the rest of the season (game at the Racecourse notwithstanding)

Wrexham fan in peace (honest )

I think a draw would have been a fair result but that's football. If Chester play half as well tonight as they do all season you have nothing to worry about. On the second half alone I think you deserved it a bit more but thankfully for me, you didn't.

From a Wrexham perspective I think Pearson is one of the best players in the league,is a major reason we are near the top and has a great partner in Manny. Beyond that we were nothing special tonight.

Chester failed to take advantage of Dunn's indecisiveness at crosses,had a bit of bad luck with a penalty and maybe a red card for Wedgebury (I think outside a derby that could have been red).

I thought Boden, Dunn ,Massanka and Jennings were largely anonymous for Wrexham. Similarly I thought Lynch (kicking in particular), Astles, Hannah and James weren't at the game today.

Akintunde, Archer, Turnbull and Dawson looked like solid players at this level. Looks like letting Archer go was a mistake on Wrexham's behalf.

Hopefully you can build on this and take points off our rivals so we can finally get to league 2.ooh and you stay in this league for now 😜

I thought that we did deserve something at the very least. In the first half we looked quite shaky, but got into the game eventually and got stuck in. I must say, the goal was a blatant dive which should not have stood at all. However, it was a basic mistake by Ryan Astles which made them score. He should’ve been concentrating right on Pearson and clearing the ball away. We played really well in the second half. As has been the case lately, we put in another promising performance without any points. We created good chances, played good football and stretched Wrexham’s players out. On another day we wouldn’t have hit the woodwork twice; we would’ve put them in the back of the net. I tend to disagree with some over the penalty incident. For me, it was a clear penalty. Holroyd stuck both of his hands out to stop the ball from travelling. Even Dean Saunders and Michael Owen said that it was a definite hand-ball. Not to mention that the referee was awful as well. Ignoring the deliberate dives/timewasting whilst making multiple incorrect decisions. It is a sharp bite in the neck, to lose to our rivals when we deserved something out of the game. I’m sure in the upcoming future that we will get ‘another one over them’. Fair play though, their defence is very strong and would take some beating to score past them. However, Wrexham have very little firepower which could end up to be the Achilles heel. They certainly didn’t look like a side who are ‘’joint-top’’, but more like an ordinary team.
Maybe there was one or two little scuffles, but I’m delighted that the derby passed without any real trouble. We may have lost, but I feel that we have our derby back... at long last!

Ok we lost but we lost with dignity, if the team had not tried I would have been upset but they battled and wore the shirt with pride, everything that needs saying has been said reading the thread but the ref was a cock tbf even my little lad asked if he was on drugs lol.
Watching MB on the touch line I could see his frustration and I am sure he is the right man to take us forward and will get us out of the mess JM has left us in, Archer looks a little raw but he is going to be a gem.
You know what I have never felt this good losing to Wrexham and think MB is the man that will help us out of the mire JM left us in.

Need a couple of scruffy wins now . . . Bromley and Orient both away look daunting. Didn't deserve to lose last night.

RHJ out for 6-8 weeks so that’s his loan over.

It depends if it is a pulled or torn hamstring? Disappointing to lose him.

Ha......defeat hurts......

I do you feel sorry for the many decent Chester supporters (clearly you are not one of them) - you were unlucky last night and outplayed us for 75% of the game.  Keep playing like that and you will not get relegated.

Did like the look of Archer as well.

I do feel sorry for the decent supporters having to put up with the stench from the sewage farm - awful.  

Only 3 draws from their last 10 league games, including a draw at our cheating neighbours.

What time is the open top bus parade in Poundland? 2:00pm when they've got up as usual to head to the Post Office? Your fans and players acted like you'd won the cup final last night. Hang on, IT IS your cup final. 

I know you try to make out we Wrexham supporters are all unemployed, live in hovels, etc - but it's not true you know.

You will be telling me next all Chester supporters are on fantastic salaries, live in mansions, never shop in Poundland and all that!

I am sure a fair few of your supporters are from Blacon and the Lache, although I understand most are Welsah and from Flintshire?  Which makes it all the more surprising that you rich, cultured and educated folk were chanting Ennggeeeeerland not Chester last night?

Best thing to to when you lose is 'suck it up' and act dignified
