so Sqzl, we're going to sign that other player who we don't know as much about on the same money who's somehow going to be better. On a tight budget, you'd rather have certainties i'd have thought. JM knows what he gets with Hudson, a massive lump who's better in the air than on the floor. No disrespect, but i can't work out what you're trying to say in that first sentence. Sign who that we don't know much about on the same money? I've not said to sign anybody, i'm saying Hudson and Astles are a potential partnership for next season, where as Hughes and Astles are not, Sam Hughes will not be a Chester player. Therefore i can completely see why JM is sticking to keeping those two at center back, whether they are the best current partnership or not. Perhaps i wasn't clear enoguh in my initial post, but i was referring to Astles/Hudson and the partnership that JM will want to try and grow stronger in time for next season. Apologies, it was terribly written and not reviewed before posting. I was agreeing with you on the basis that everyone assumes we can sign better when in all likelihood Hudson is a decent CB and we know all about him rather than risking a new signing who could be rubbish. |

I think maybe fans shouldn't take what managers say in the press too seriously. For me, Hudson's a bit of a heart-in-mouth defender who has been hit and miss at best, but if Macca thinks he needs a bit of a confidence boost, I'm not complaining if he thinks it will bring out more hit than miss in him. Much like the talk of deserving new contracts, if these media sound bites help bring out the best in the player(s) between now and the end of the season, they're worth doing, even if they are total bollocks.

Give the lad a bit of confidence, persuade fans that he's a good player so they get behind them. I'm sure he knows as well as anyone that Hudson has parts of his game he needs to work on. |

And wrexhams defence has improved no end this season hasn't it ...... They placed 8th with his at centre back, yet he seems to be the focus point of all our defensive problems according to most. Defending is a team effort. Would we pick Up more points with Sam And Astles at the centre back? Maybe. What would be the point of that partnership knowing Sam is leaving at the end of the season though. There's more than one player not performing at home. Today we couldn't point the finger at Richards as he didn't start, we actually perhaps looked a tad More threatening when he did come on. Overall, not looking forward to Lincoln but I'll be there in hope of a miracle. |

Square pegs and round holes, something McCarthy seems to do a lot.
Sam is a complete waste at right back, why the hell are we playing our most talented and best player at right back. Play him centre back, he will perform better in his best position and we can get a few more clubs keen on him and squeeze more money out of it.
Instead we play continue to play Mccarthy's pet.

Ok this is going to get me shot but I think Blaine Hudson is being used as a scapegoat for McCarthys failings .. to come out in the press and say he's his best signing obviously shows that jon is taking the biscuit. I feel for Hudson and he is out of his depth in national league and maybe national north is more his level

This is what gets my goat the most - the fact he makes such ridiculous statements and then looks a complete fool. How does he earn respect making comments that are so blatantly inaccurate? I just don't find him authentic. Rather than saying what he thinks, he invents crap that he thinks someone will want to hear. Instead he just comes across like a clueless fool. A bit of honesty would go a long way. He doesn't have to come out and lament Hudson but highlighting him as his best signing is embarassing. On cloud Jon anything goes though.

Get a grip, he's finished higher in this league than we have as a club and still isn't that old. He has weakness but so does Astles. Astles got torn apart by Danny Johnson and lost us the game against gatehead but nobody said anything, just mentioned Hudson. Yes Astles is a far better player, but every player had limitations on this league. With the username "Fed Up" you're just looking to whinge, and can't really be taken seriously. |

You obviously didn't go to Torquay. Not for the first time Astles was head and shoulders above everybody else! Shame you have to be offensive to everybody who has a different opinion to you. It's people like you who get this site a bad name. BTW, where's gatehead? Just thought I'd ask. |

It's people like you who get this site a bad name. BTW, where's gatehead? Just thought I'd ask. Nothing I said was offensive, it was all opinion and I've never insulted anybody on this site, or the old site for that matter. If you come on here with the username like that, you don't exactly advertise yourself well was my point, all looks a bit childish because of a truly crap spell of football. If people have a different opinion that's fine, it's when they voice it like a child that I can't help but comment. Saying a player at this level is West Cheshire league is not only stupid, but kind of makes other valid points you make less relevant. I go to every match home and away, have done for a few years now, having only used to go to home matches when I was younger. I'm not here to compete with who goes to the most games though, that's petty, nor am I here to correct every one of my autocorrects and proof read before posting, so apologies for the "Gateshead" error. People that give this site a bad name are those who are not constructive and purely post garbage slating the team but provide no answers....like a lot of the newer posters. |

If the difference between Hughes at CB and RB is the difference between survival and relegation then its a no brainer ,whether he is leaving or not . By your logic we would drop Hughes altogether as he is leaving at the end of the season ! |

By your logic we would drop Hughes altogether as he is leaving at the end of the season ! yeah I do take your point. I think at Right back we have a real problem area, that Hughes is trying to cover. He has a few games left for the club, and while I think we're strong with him at CB, I still don't think we'd be winning games, too many players who have took a nosedive in form since November-ish. |

For Jon McCarthy to say Blane Hudson is his best signing just about sums McClueless up. Totally incompetent.

JM said in interview after Bromley match that he moved Sam Hughes to full back as he has more pace than BH (so has my 80 yo mother) and he anticipated Bromley would use pace down the flanks. I can see his point though what that also says is that we need a quick full back or two rather than asking centre halves to do the job on a regular basis.
