Terrible display. Did our captain complete a single pass in the first half. I am still seeing Johnson pulling out of tackles. Looks like they did their home work we couldn't get the ball out to wingers first half. Taylor should not have played never looked right after that knock on Tuesday. M. O. M. jones

All that makes it so frustrating to be a CFC supporter was evident today They built you up then let you down with a dreadful performance.
No comparison with Tuesday, I suppose some credit to Brackley who were well organised and clinically functional but not much more. Why we show bang-on average teams such respect is beyond me. Teams, regardless of where they are in the league, should be petrified of coming to our place but all too often we've appeared to be the away team on our own ground
Yet again, the post match comments on here, ignoring the more hysterical, will be all about our inconsistency. This is, and has been, the biggest thing holding us back. Unless it's sorted whether for the remainder of the season or for the next, we'll not progress.
That said, not catastrophic today but we don't half make life difficult for ourselves
Oh, to be a CFC supporter!

M. jones I don’t understand why Burton gets so much criticism, I thought he was one of our better players and can’t fault his effort. There were far too many other players not up to it today. Neither team deserved to win and I’d have been happy with a draw after coming from behind twice, but to lose to a totally avoidable goal like that is a tough one to take. It’s doesn’t really bode well for the play offs (if we qualify) that we’ve been beaten and conceded so many goals against Gateshead, York and Brackley in recent weeks. Gateshead will be another tough game next Saturday and they are on a very good run at the moment, although they also play Boston mid week.

Everyone seems to have summed it up right, keeper to blame for 1st and 3rd, couldn't hold on to a piss poor shot for 1st and still cant believe what a shambles 3rd goal was, the 2nd just as bad,everyone stood rooted to spot, they were pissing themselves in front of family stand as at how easy it was, taylor injured which was a big blow,not sure asante was but he never looked interested at all today, maybe they seen that and took him off but to replace with elton is a joke, he's had enough time now and to be honest he is crap,not a clue where he was meant to be playing but he was turd in all off them, best tackle burton put in was against matty waters and as for johnston, dear god he tackled himself and fell on the ball hands first and give a free kick away,best player on pitch for chester was simon grand, another 9 outfield players with his commitment and we might make the playoff's, stick elton in goal for next weeks game, see how plan c works out

Need to get Elliott back in the side and forget about Johnston, he's the ultimate passenger. He offers us absolutely nothing. Elton poor too but we knew that already. First half was dire. It was improved second half and I thought we'd have deserved a point but to throw it away like that is unforgivable. Any kind of consistency looks a long way away. A little concerning that our most recent new signings haven’t really lived up to expectations so far

Some huge problem areas in this team need to be looked at before we can even seriously consider going up surely No matter who gets promoted, most teams will have to make wholesale changes for the National League. Even York and KLN

Sums up the last two seasons really, one good performance followed by a poor one. Brackley were organised and well drilled. They have a strong nucleus of players and were one of the best teams we've played against this season. Asante looked totally disinterested before he went off and not sure why Joel Taylor was playing as he was clearly still struggling after Tuesday's knock. James Jones had a good game and Livesey was excellent when he came on. As for the goalkeeper, you can only say what has been said many times about him - he's a total liability. He's not agile, he doesn't come for crosses, his shot stopping is generally poor and his decision making is equally so. He's cost us too many goals to count this season and very often in big games. There's no way we can expect to compete for honours with him in goal - particularly in tight games. Teams know the drill - put the ball in the box enough times and you're guaranteed he will eventually give you something. Hasn't improved all season but has zero competition for his place. Instead of signing players like Johnston and Ngwatala, who have offered absolutely nothing to us, this should have been a priority position to improve. A decent keeper seems like an after thought to the managers. Is he any better than Shenton? Shenton was poor but he had the odd good game where he would win MOTM. Can't remember that being the case with this one.

We are such a frustrating jekyll and hyde team to watch, work our way back into games then give away soft goals. Today showed why we won't go up automatically I don't like to single out players and I appreciate that he was out of position up front, but Elton was awful today. I've not seen anything from him in a few games to convince me. How can we let Mahon go, when Elton plays like bambi on ice. Elliott will be straight into the starting XI next week. Dudley was awful again They were all awful in the first half we didn’t manage a single shot at goal, why were the midfield playing so deep they were constantly sitting on top of our defenders which left the strikers totally isolated. They should of been told to get up the pitch we set up like the away team in that first half, as for the keeper it doesn’t mater how many errors he makes he is the only player that will play every week as he has no replacement in the squad.

Absolutely dire first half performance. Played with a lot more passion, in the second half but conceeded soft goals to lose the game. Elton is not up to it. Glendon cant tackle and slows the game down too much and the jury is still out on Johnson. The problem is we can never play two games the same and there are too many weaknesses to get automatic promotion. There are also too many weaknesses to go up via the playoffs IMO.

We've conceded 12 goals in the last 5 games, won 2 and lost 3. It's just not promotion form. Most of the goals we've concede were avoidable.

Good as Waters is as a player who offers so much going forward he can be frustrating at the back when expecting Griffiths to come off his line he doesn't. Third goal has happened a few times this season and last with these two players. I expect our managers to have spotted this!!! I have. Get some coaching done. In other words. BOOT IT OUT.

We had an “up” on Tuesday, so I’ve resigned myself to a “down” today. Anything other than zero points will be good, a win would be brilliant, but unexpected 😜 Yep, but that’s why we love the Blues ....so unpredictable 😳

Here we go again you just don’t know what you will get from week to week or game to game with us. Shame as a win today would have kept us in touch with the top two/three.

Looks like Chorley and AFC Fylde are heading back down into the North next season so it’s only going to get harder to get promoted, I do fear we are still going to be here.

On the upside though, if we fail this time we've got a couple of relatively good away followings coming here when we play them at home and easy travel with Grand-Day-Out opportunities when we play them away (I'm assuming Chorley won't throw bricks at us again). Certainly a good swap for Kings Lynn.

Big surprise that Fylde have struggled though.

Hmmm, now let me see.

For all the talk of Rhead, Hulme et al it is clear which position needs strengthening more.
Time for Johnson and Morley to shoe their managerial skills this week by signing a solid keeper.

After the good performance on Tuesday it was down to earth with a bang today. Brackley are a well organised side who play decent football. Too often today we were found wanting going forward with no options from Dudley but particularly Asante, not sure what his problem was that led to him coming off. Scott Burton and George Glendon worked hard but lacked an option. I do not like criticising played but 2 in particular stood out today, Elton - who I would not pick for a Sunday league side as shows nothing and the keeper who has all the attributes but fails to communicate with his back four, come for crosses or dominate his 6 yard box. The ball that bounced off his chest and went for a corner when Asante jumped in front of him being an example when there was no danger, why didn’t he call for it? If he did then he should have remonstrated to Asante, but nothing. The last goal summed up his issues although Matty Waters should have conceded the corner and cleared the danger. On to next week when this becomes a must win game.

Gateshead will be another tough game next Saturday and they are on a very good run at the moment, although they also play Boston mid week. I'll tell you why Burton gets so much stick. He's crap. I have never seen such a one footed player in my life and almost every pass he plays is either sideways or backwards. Plays with his back to goal far too often. One of the worst signings we have made in the last two years.

A half-decent and confident talking keeper that commands his box not only prevents the horror-show stuff we've seen too often but gives confidence to the back four ....which in turn can have a positive knock-on higher up the pitch. It must be worth spending a few bob to get someone in. The goalie position could be the big difference between going up and not. Surely worth an investment.

It boils down to the fact that we let a team who struggle to score goals put 3 gifts past us.

It took until the last minute to get what we deserved Tuesday night, and it took until the last minute to get what we deserved today. Nothing.
Only positive was the atmosphere.

Because he has market value and we had a clause in his contract last summer to trigger a one year extension. We wanted a 5 figure fee and there were a few clubs interested but nothing ever materialised.

Surprised no one has mentioned the performance or lack of from Asante in the first half that led to his early substitution.
