just looked at the remaining fixtures and I can see 26 very winnable points, which would take us to 52 points and safety. That doesn’t include any surprise bonus results along the way.
As long as I have known football it has been two halves of 45 minutes, without mattresses at the players disposal, so why Chester players regularly fall asleep in the final two minutes of each half is beyond me. Do we all need to take alarm clocks along?

Can you honestly see this squad of players winning that many games between now and April I did say winnable. I didn’t predict beating Aldershot 8-2 but it happened. I didn’t see the game against champions Leeds all those years ago as winnable but it happened. In a National League short on qualty any team, if well organised, can beat any other. A deafeatist attitude may prove correct, but as long as we have the fixtures left in which to accrue points I remain in hope, albeit not particularly optimistically. |

Take off your rose tinted glasses Sir. I can't see us achieving have those points. |

I dont think i'm being pessimistic,more realistic in saying at best this weak minded bunch with no gut's will bag no more than 20 point's for the rest of the season.
That's as optimistic as i can be.

I didn’t see either the Aldershot or Ebbsfleet results coming, so as long as the maths remains possible I’ll stick with the specs. Hope you do too! |

We've got 26 points with 17 games to go. We may pick up a home win against Torquay and that's about it. I honestly wouldn't a penny on it though. I suspect we'll finish the season with about 35 points.

Sadly the powers that be were hell bent on getting Bignot, the same as they were in keeping McCarthy. Perhaps Thursday will result in something to give us hope. |

Really don’t think bignot is the problem ! 8 of the 11 who started Saturday were at the club before him ! Hornby , hall-Johnson, Gough and archer ( when fit ) have all been an improvement! Would understand if 7/8 of the players Saturday were his players it’s the unbalanced squad that McCarthy put together that’s the root of the problem. If we get archer fit and Roberts playing well we can achieve safety ! Keep the faith! COYB

Bignot, (and previously JM) are definitely the problem. This shower put in decent performances away at Guiseley and Ebbsfleet, they can do it again but without Bignot Bingo. |

Not sure what we've done this season to view any match as winnable. We couldn't beat a terrible Guiseley home or away that are our direct competition to stay in the league, in fact we were played off the park at home, albeit with 10 men.
Every games a 50/50 in this league, not a single good side this year. We could easily lose them all, could easily win any, depends if we actually show up.

Jones is a teenager an in his first season at this level , akintunde been successful at this level ? , white ? Dawson? James has been in a relegation battle At this level most of his career . McCarthy assembled this squad which is totally unbalanced to blame a manager who has had to take over with no money and expect miracles after 4 months is something I would expect from them lot up the road . Has it been good enough? No but I think the players he has brought in ( excluding small term loans ) has improved us and I think archer is key for our survival hopes , get him back an the ball will stick more up top and we will improve as white isn’t doing it

Do we all need to take alarm clocks along? Fear the worst but we shouldn't throw the towel in. This team has shown flashes of being average -cut out a few silly mistakes, show a bit of backbone and concentrate and we are quite capable of beating teams. |
