According to MB, a few "home truths" were said at ET yesterday. That's twice in a couple of weeks that "home truths" have been said! I'd love to know what was actually said because they appear either to be not strong enough or they're not sinking in.
Any guesses?

Yeah weve all heard this before. Kidderminster spring to mind anyone?
Doesnt matter what is said and done, we still keep serving up utter pants. Clearly the personnel are wrong, or are genuinely not good enough.
Probably a bit of both. Such a clear out needed, and most likely in preparation for the CN.
Still, easier to get to away games though.

In all the years I've supported Chester I've never felt so far away from the squad of players that we have. For the best part, they just genuinely dont give a toss.

Sadly, I think most of them do care but they are not good enough collectively. You get the feeling that a few could do OK in a better team. I didn't see any lack of effort yesterday.

Well, Home truths were said after Guiseley away and we then beat Ebbsfleet away who hadn’t lost at home since October, and then came from behind to draw at Fylde who are the in form side in this division right now.

I fully accept we had two decent results after the Guiseley game. Indeed, I saw one with my own eyes on Tuesday at Fylde. But, in my mind, something does not sit right with having to do the "home truths" thing every couple of games. You could argue that it doesn't matter if we start getting results but I think it hardly reflects well on this group of players if they're having to have such "discussions" regularly just to eke out a couple of decent performances

It's very easy to say players don't care, but I think that's very rarely the case. What we're seeing is a squad of players who aren't equipped for this level. Players like Turnbull, James, Shaw and Dawson are all okay players, the problem is they are all very similar and we only have 1 winger, who is never fit any way. As a result, we're playing a system with no width whatsoever and it gives our players very little option but to give it away. It's a vicious cycle all started by the most inept and unbalanced squad building I've ever seen from McCarthy last summer.

The club has only 18 games left and each and every player, subject to current contract details, has to make the most, when selected to play, to ensure they impress someone sufficiently to get a contract somewhere for next season. That’s all the motivation required. The manager has to install the belief and confidence in his players. This time last year all our players were in the same boat, and McCarthy decided Durrell and Lloyd were not for us. Askey decided differently, so this is clearly a serious time of the year for managers and players alike. We are where we are, like it or not. The only part we can play is in supporting all, players and manager alike. Feel free to be as bitter and twisted as you like when the final whistle goes against Barrow, but not now.
That’s my opinion, only in respect of players and manager by the way.

Don't know about home truths I think he meant to say Home Fries were scoffed before and after the game

That’s my opinion, only in respect of players and manager by the way. Can't argue with that. Personally I won't be negative at home games but I need to see more from the players until I'm bouncing around the ground. I just do not trust this team. Yes it's unbalanced and in some aspects light on quality but what I've seen is players with perfectly good reputations stroll through games. Not go that extra mile for the shirt. Where is the personal pride with some of these players? LRT against Guisely? White v anybody until this year? Mahon with his bruises? I could go on but you get the point. This is the worst squad of players we've ever had, and in my opinion that comes down to their attitude and lack of character and pride for what they're doing.

You may be right in some or all of your points, but please give full support to those who represent the club, particularly as long as hope exists.
