All that aside but Bern never had the answer either and that's more worrying twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1rmxPzoRAOgGN that interview hardly filled me with confidence, oh well onwards and upwards cmyb. To be fair to him I think he was a bit shocked and surprised seeing the way we played and as others have said even without this covid break we have had to endure, we seen to come up with a totally awful performance and result once or twice a season. That said we usually bounce back afterwards so looking forward to us doing the same this time and playing much better on Saturday. To be fair and honest Ken your probably right about that, No manager wants to start a season on the back foot and especially the first home game of the season. Thinking about it I think I would be lost for words as well if I had to do an interview after a loss and the first home game of the season lol, like you say we do have a habit of doing these things but then bounce back. Onwards and upwards.

"There's no excuses"
Apart from the excuse of "There's no excuses" every time we get humiliated.

Get behind them, they are our best hope 👍👍 I suggest you all listen to the Friday night football show, one thing that struck me listening to AJ he still sounds rough and sounds like he is still suffering the effects of covid. Lets get behind the managers and the team and allow them time to recover, I wouldn't to run 90 mins on a pitch after Covid COYB.

He does yes, but he only has himself to blame as he has said due to not having the vaccine, I think his words on Twitter were "I was a dickhead" Jonno may have passed the virus on to the squad which meant the team that's played so far isn't up to the standard required to compete. Is that incompetence or a sacking offence? I certainly admire his interview tonight, respect the honesty and I get most of it but if certain players need 2 or 3 weeks to be fit enough they shouldn't be getting that fitness on match day.

How far can these two take you? Last night was a shambles considering it was the first game of a new season. Are they the motivators many claim them to be? With regards to our budget they've matched expectation. Unfortunately Covid has set us back, probably worse than the financial hit in 2017/18. I'm convinced we would have been promoted by now as we would have had Asante for 1 more season before being sold then Covid stopped us signing Kevin Ellison. I have no doubt these 2 will get us back there but the fans need patience but football fans especially ours, in general don't have any.

I honestly think the match-going supporter is fully behind the management.
When you see '132 comments' underneath a Chester FC facebook post, you can guarantee it's almost all Man Utd supporting Cestrians saying things like 'They'll never get back to the league with them pair in charge - it's why I don't go anymore!"

Even their most ardent supporters must be starting to question wether it’s time for change, yes I’m a supporter of them both but firstly I’m a Chester supporter. I think they’ve both been a breathe of fresh air in terms of their communication with supporters. They’ve shown a real desire to want to be here and although I might be in a minority, I think they’ve taken the club in a positive direction despite all the hurdles they’ve faced but are currently stuck in a rut and don’t seem to be able to get out of it.
The likes of Weeks, Glendon, Dudley, Williams, Askew, Lacey and Oyibo should be in a team that is at the top end of this league like last season but for whatever reason it just isn’t working out now.
Have the managers gone stale? Have their voices stopped making an impact they once did? Have they just run out of ideas?
I think when they leave here and take a new job we’ll see them do really well again but I do also feel that if the board are thinking about making a change, now is the time to do it. An ok FA cup game on paper and then the likes of Blyth and Guiseley to play would give a new manager a chance to start positively. A + B stay and don’t win all of them and we could be down to three figure crowds. If there’s a time to change, it’s now.

I'm surprised how quickly fans have turned against them. Apart from anything else we are in no position to be paying off contracts and who exactly do we get in on our budget that's suddenly going to transform this team? They deserve at least 10-15 games and I seriously doubt there will be any hasty decisions. One thing's for sure, they need to do some serious head scratching about organising a defence and if they can't do it themselves get someone in to help. Anyone got Wrighty's number 😎?

Agree with this - we’re going through a rut at the moment but which team doesn’t ever? I think the board do need to let the managers know that they need to sort it out but nothing more at this stage. We aren’t going to get any better than these two, who need to ride the storm.

Closet blue obviously.Your chances of getting to the playoffs must be pretty good. Reality is that you will fail once again as you have every year and this will be no different. 😂 Unfortunately their are better teams in your league. Subbutteo League is about the level you will play at regularly.😎🤡

Shouldn’t you be more concerned about whether your own gaffer is capable of taking Wrexham up after spending huge amounts of money but seemingly overlooking the need to strengthen the midfield? Seven points adrift of top spot already I think after last night’s loss.

I think Bern and Jonno are the right men for the job. Not saying anymore on this. Results have been poor, performances thus far have been poor and Bern and Jonno are completely aware of this. They're not stupid or delusional. We've played 6 league games so far and have 36 league games remaining. Things will improve on the pitch IMO, as Bern has stated several times, we have a really good squad and I believe this too. It's very early days in the current 21/22 season. UTFS.

Lost 3 strikers asante elliot and hughes that have not been replaced Need some fire power asap! When you concede as many as we do we need goals.

Asante - came third without him Elliott - 2 goals exc. pens Hughes - never played
Regardless though, the idea of goals coming from all over the squad (which was the post-Asante thinking) is hard to envisage with our current form!

Better to shore up the defence than to try and outscore the opposition. We're not really struggling to score goals. Every time I can remember hearing "we're going to be a Kevin Keegan team that wins games 4-3", it's always simply turned out to be a very poor season. The last time I remember it was the Simon Davies season when we went out the league and conceded five or six goals several times.

We couldn’t even keep those three…anybody who is half decent will be picked up by the league above and used as back up striker…we just can’t afford to hold on to them or offer decent contracts…not with our income…
