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  We are trying but it’s sooooo hard 😫 |

I for one, despite the hatred shown from supporters on both sides, hope you don'y get relegated and you won't. These games should be great occasions for both clubs. Just look forward to the next match and hope it's not back to the bubble. |

It's hardly jealousy based upon your success is it? You've been stuck in this league for ten years and last night you got out punched by the club you love to refer to as a pub team. Not as big as you would like to think. |

Standard win. Get ourselves in front, lock up shop against a one dimensional side who raised their game in their biggest match of the season. Keates and his players treated the game like any other.
All very predictable and bigmut obviously hadn’t done his homework.

Game management. Allowed Chester as much possession as they wanted in the middle third.Chester resorted to lumping balls into the box hoping for a lucky break. We’re not pretty to watch but pretty damn effective. |

I think we were crying out to move to a 4-3-3 last night at about 60 minutes. We played okay, but I just thought we needed to give them something else to think about. We played in front of them all night, but admittedly we did it reasonably effectively
I think it was abundantly clear that if we had that clinical edge, we'd be talking about a victory right now. Archer's header, White's header and Dawson all off the post were just about as clear cut as you're going to get against a defence like theirs.
We have to take the positives, if they are gunning for the title then we have nothing to fear. It comes across as sour grapes I suppose, but I really did think they were bang average but with two good central defenders. There's not a team to fear in this division and we can take points from anybody.
You just knew it was going to be one of those nights.

You outplayed us for 3/4 of the match but we took the 3 points and ultimately that's all that matters  |

Certainly shouldn’t have lost last night but that’s the way it’s going for us at the moment, we played pretty well on the whole but have to agree with Bignot that despite the number of chances we had in the second half it was disappointing that so many of them were off target and ultimately their keeper wasn’t tested enough. Wrexham were let off with a number of decisions, but luck with refs goes for and against you, not our night on that front.
Huge blow to lose Hall-Johnson, rubbish ball from Halls led to that but he actually had another decent game on the whole, just has a stupid gaffe in him each now and then. That was a costly one last night. Gough impressed me getting forward especially in the second half, possibly slightly aided by a hideously unfit Kevin Roberts mind you, even Astles on one leg was faring better than him. Glad to see Dawson getting a bit of praise, he’s tasked with creating most of our play so he’s going to give the ball away more than others, so some slack should always be cut with him.
Not convinced about Wrexham myself, they remind me of us this time last year, even if a better version. Inexperienced manager grinding out results playing ugly, the luck lasted so long with us and I expect the same with them. Seen people suggest they are a striker away from winning the league but that striker will also have to create chances for himself as there’s little creativity in that team. Just looks like Smith and Pearson carrying them to me.
Hopefully a little break to Bromley can help a few of our lads shake off their knocks, heartened by the continuous improvement. Looking past the short term pain I think we’ll be fine, long term gain hopefully!

Not here to gloat, just to give my view for what it’s worth. (Probably not much to most of you to be fair).
First half thought we controlled the game pretty well without creating any real chances. The best chances did fall to yourselves when you counted. I will be honest and say I was worried the lad Archer was going to be a handful for us after watching him the first 20 mins or so. I think the booking he got did us a massive favour as he had to calm down slightly and maybe effected his game. Our goal came from a moment of quality from Kelly’s ball in. (Yes, maybe it shouldn’t of been a free-kick to begin with).
Second half I though we were very poor and sat back way to deep and had our midfielders stood on the toes of centre backs. You played some good stuff to be fair, just missing that ruthless edge up front, as are we. Seen the Holroyd handball incident both given and ignored before, luckily for us the ref ignored it this time.
I was impressed with the lad Akintunde (excuse spelling), he looks very lively, skilful with a good turn of pace. Also liked Dawson, seems to have a bit of quality about him.
All in all you probably deserved a point, but so many of our games have been like that this season so it just seems to be our game plan and it worked, so to be honest I’ll take it.
As for the cretins on both sides, sounds like a lot of nothing in town. The video doesn’t show you in good light to be fair. If you are going to act the twat, why would you video yourselves doing it for everyone to see? Very strange.
Anyway, hope you stay up. The conference north is already a grave yard for ex-league clubs without anymore joining them.

We’re not pretty to watch but pretty damn effective. Suppose it was game management that we hit the woodwork twice, i'd call that bad luck. Should have had a penalty too. Ultimately a draw would have been more than fair but lack of finishing cost us. If you're talking about lumping balls, that was Keates gameplan, to expose our lack of pace by hoofing it over the top. We did out fair share of that too, but by no means was it superb passing football from any side. |

Perhaps we shouldn't talk about penalties (as we lost), or the game (as we lost), or Chappell (as he's gone), etc... The only problem would be that this message board would have no messages.
I think most people on this forum, both Chester and Wrexham, have been pretty reasonable to be fair.

Whatever the result, play like you did the other night and no way will you be relegated. On the back of this this point I think we need to look at the bigger picture, the big positive for me was the performance again. Not foot perfect by any means but considering where we are right now I’m encouraged. Make no mistake, we should have at the very least had a point from Wrexham, should have beaten Eastleigh and should have had a point at Maidstone, this on the back of the win against Barrow. If it goes our way were coasting along with points. We just need to turn our luck and actually grab what we deserve. This past month has been just as annoying as it has been encouraging, we’re not at panic stations in November. I’d rather be us looking at this improvement than others right now. |
