First thing I’d do on Tuesday is get Mahon back in the team. Mooney looks like he should be backup rather than a starter. Interesting to see whether the current formation is retained but until George Green is back they might be tempted by 442.
Shenton
Pritchard, Livesey, Grand, Smalley Mahon, Burton, Stopforth, Hughes Tuton, Dudley

I think it will be a very difficult test of these pair's managerial skills to turn this around.
Good luck to them.

Terrible result but I think most of taking the “rip up contracts” to seriously. Jono was just making a statement. It’ll give the players a kick up the arse.
The formation needs looking at as said plenty of times the 5 at the back with the attacking wing backs isn’t working, we’re far to open. I would have to drop Howson as it sounds like he’s a bit of the pace.

Shenton Pritchard, Livesey, Grand, Smalley Mahon, Burton, Stopforth, Hughes Tuton, Dudley God help us if Mahon is the answer. Hasn't had a good game for two seasons. Terrible goals and assists record. He's an impact player from the bench at best. Big game for a lot of this lot, including the managers, on Tuesday. A win and much will be forgiven, although this embarrassment will live long in the memory. Lose and it could be another long season. Shoring up the defence has to be the priority...agree we need to keep it simple and just play 4-4-2. I see Kane Richards scored again for Kiddy, and White for Hereford.

Shenton Pritchard, Livesey, Grand, Smalley Mahon, Burton, Stopforth, Hughes Tuton, Dudley I agree with playing 442 with Hughes and Mahon on the wings, they were pretty effective when we had that decent spell in the league and FA Cup run under Burr! Can we get Oli McBurnie, Heneghan, Rooney and McConville back too? Why didn’t Tuton play and where the hell is Deane Smalley, i know it’s an admin issue but we should be pushing for the issue to be resolved ASAP! Dudley doesn’t look like the type of player to be leading the line on his own.

Words can simply not describe what I have had to put up with today. That performance was beyond shocking, and puts the Halifax and Kidderminster performances into perspective. I have not seen anything like that in my time as a Chester FC supporter.
Blyth Spartans were nothing special really, but we made them look like Barcelona; it was that easy. In my opinion they were the type of side who would just hoof the ball up in a normal game... a normal game this was not. We constantly gave the ball away for fun. Where was the blood and sweat from Monday night? Where was the desire from Monday night? Where was the togetherness from Monday night? NOWHERE!!! I thought that we undergone a clean slate during the Summer and built a side that would fight for every single ball. There was just nothing in us at all today, and I don’t know what has caused this catastrophe to happen. We gave the ball away more frequently than we passed it, we shown no fighting spirit at all, we seemed incredibly lost and disjointed, I can go on...
It’s obvious that this current formation does not work, as all of our players didn’t know what to do with themselves for the whole game. I will be watching with great interest to find out how our managers will turn this tragedy around as they weren’t used to situations like this at there former clubs. Maybe as this season goes on we will be competent but come on, this is Blyth Spartans we are talking about here, a side who were in the EBAC League not so long ago. Even Liverpool managed to score less than them.
I still believe that we will go onto have a decent season, but if we carry on playing like this then we will be staring into oblivion. This result has seriously brought me back down to earth and made me realise that results like this can happen. I am extremely proud to be a Chester FC supporter and will be forever, but for the sake of tonight, I feel absolutely embarrassed.
We must focus on Kidderminster now. That name is still giving me shivers from last season and I will be curious to see how we react to today’s nightmare as the attendance might be affected too.
What an excruciatingly bad day to be a Chester FC supporter.

Just seen Jonnos post match interview where, to be fair he doesnt even attempt at excuses and is clearly furious with certain players, although not naming them which is fair enough. He also acknowledged the damage that result would have done to the supporters in wiping away the optimism. Spoke well I thought - will be interesting to see if there is a reaction on Tuesday - God help us if there isn't. Jonno and Been are not novices at this game and their recent track record is terrific. They are not idiots and know that the damage caused both within the team and the club as a whole today needs to be rectified asap otherwise they and we know the consequences. Their success appears to have been based on a strong, possibly confrontational, perhaps aggressive approach so Jonno's interview comes as no surprise. Others take a more "hand round the shoulder" approach (we've seen recent examples). A defeat like this hurts like hell and, naturally, generates all sorts of views and opinions. I'm still very much of the view that we should let them get on with it without too much pressure being put on them from outside sources. They will want to see a reaction on Tuesday and I strongly suspect we will

I've been watching since the end of 1959/60 season and I'm struggling to remember 8 going in .. if ever. I remember us losing 11-2 away to Oldham in the fifties. We had an excuse that day as we had played Chelsea in the Cup a couple of days previously. Other than that, I can't remember a bigger defeat than today's.

In all honesty I don’t think what Jonno said will happen, it’s just a message for our players to think about so they can be fired up for the next game to avoid repeating today’s calamity.

They'll tackle whatever they think the problem, head on. Lets take a deep breath and watch this space. The players will be edgy and nervous on Tuesday now. Kiddie isn't the easiest team to play either. Let's get behind them for the full 90 mins. Could be a big week in our season.

They will want to see a reaction on Tuesday and I strongly suspect we will Agreed. Taking the positives out of the interview at least Jono gets exactly what the supporters feel in the context of the recent past and that today won’t be consigned to history very quickly. Now we need him and Bern to do their stuff. They have got a good track record. Many of these players have played for them before and so they will know how they tick and to deal with this. What we don’t need is a team that is so twitchy on Tuesday that they underperform again - Kiddy won’t be an easy game (unless we get Kane Richards riled and sent off). If you think about it BS were in the same position as this before today’s match and responded to Armstrong’s assessment in the press. We need our team to do likewise. If they do then I would like to think that in April we will look back at today as a lesson we’ll learned. If we do not then facing another season supporting a team that is willing to throw the towel in at the first opportunity makes me utterly depressed.

Today was a disgrace and what's more of a shock is no one saw it coming. So much good work has been done recently and that has been eroded in one symbolic 90 minutes. How does a team managed by these two and full of experience get battered 8-1 at Blyth. It's simply embarrassing and unexplainable. Needs a massive reaction on Tuesday but it's going to take a good while for this result to be forgotten. Today is the day that woke everyone up to this league - I think after Monday night some were expecting us to cruise it. Wing backs have been ineffective and poor since the start of the season. Need to go back to 4-4-2 and give them a chance.

Hard to imagine how a team scoring 8 goals could easily have ended the game 7-7. Load of crap. Today is the reason GR is at Chester unfortunately. Ran the game for us mid week, not going our way and goes over the ball in a tackle, out for three.
