Had to leave the game early today as couldn’t bare to watch it any longer.
I truly think the managers are out of their depth now and a change is needed before things go from bad to worse.
Am I on my own in thinking this?

it is worrying because it's a results business and it seems all we ever do is go backwards, can only look on to saturday now...

Am I on my own in thinking this? you maybe right but there are not many choices for manager the only one is Morrison and he's not leaving the quay anytime soon so we are stuck with them

We have not gone anywhere forward with them in charge since they arrived.
Backwards if anything.

As I said on the match thread, I’ve not heard the post match interview yet, but I’ll start the bingo;
“There’s no excuses”
“I don’t know what happened”
“It’s on us as managers”
Same old shite.

Here we go again 😩
Can we wait for the team to get to full strength and fitness before all the criticism again. We need to cut the guys some slack and be a bit understanding of the issues the squads facing currently. Glad to see Roberts and Dudley available again

We all know the teams at the top of the welsh league have loads of money to spend anyone who comes to us would have no money, as some have said we just have to hope a few more games will make a difference to our performances .

Jesus it's only four games in and we have a load of injuries. Let's see how we ay with a fully fit Glendon, Weeks and Lacey (if he comes back). They were probably the best midfield in the division last year.

What you on about “haven’t taken us forwards since they arrived”? Should change your username to VillageIdiot.

Totally disagree. I think they're solid managers at this level who have continually out-performed our budget. That's not blind support, they are facts.
The good will towards them won't stand for many more poor results and I'm sure they know that, they appear to be feeling the pressure from their interviews.
However, I think the COVID/Fitness factor is definitely playing a part here. 10 games in is a fair place to look at things and see where we stand. Alfreton is looking like a big game on Saturday.

Am I on my own in thinking this? Out of depth in a division they’ve won and have had us competitive in the last few seasons? Get real and get back on Facebook. I’m absolutely done with the amount of clueless muppets on this forum.

Interesting to see the comments regarding the managers as it would seem it is very 50/50. Some think they are a pair of tactically inept boneheads(my own words) who should be sacked immediately, whilst others are taking a more pragmatic approach saying they should be given a bit longer.
My thinking is this, very poor start to the season & logically the only people who can turn it around are Bernard & Anthony. If they feel confident enough that the performances from the team will improve then give them a little time. However the ice they are skating is starting to become thin.

Of course they're not out of their depth.

Not out of their depth because they have won this league and got us in or near the playoffs the last 3 seasons but when their backs are to it they don't have a plan B and aren't willing to correct mistakes made on the pitch. I feel they should be allowed time to turn things around. A win Saturday is a must though otherwise we will be playing catch up already on a playoff place. Yes....playoffs at this stage is still a realistic aim

Can’t blame anyone for being frustrated by the way we have started the season but I do think it’s a bit early for people to be calling for management sackings, as others have said we are not in a financial position to pay off managers or players then pay for someone else.

Be lovely if we could get some investment from Michael Owen & Daniel Craig.

Daniel Craig was only 3 or 4 when his family moved to Liverpool, who he's an avid supporter of and Michael Owen is only interested in racehorses, so let's forget about any sudden influx of cash. We're a non league side and that's what we're always going to be. The really worrying thing is the attendance next Saturday, because once we drop to a consistent 1200-1400 attendance there'll be no way back and the National League North will be the highest level we are able to aspire to.

There are obvious circumstances re Covid etc that are contributing to the current situation. Trying to get players fit and preparing for matches are completely different. One is around physical work on the training pitch the other is around tactics and situations for the forthcoming match. I am not going to say they have got everything right but there have been bigger things ongoing in Jonnos life that have correctly taken a higher priority. Jonno is Berns best mate and you can tell that Covid has impacted on both. We dont know which players were impacted by Covid but this can be a debilitating disease that affects an individual’s capacity to breath. If after 10 or 12 games and there is no improvement then actions may need to be taken, until then we are all supporters of Chester FC and should get right behind OUR CLUB.

It's difficult to assess at the moment as the Covid/injury scenario is certainly a factor in what we are seeing. Just how much of a factor is the telling point which will only be assessed over the next month or so. There have to be question marks over the recruitment strategy though. It's fairly clear we are missing a centre forward, a combative central midfielder and a central defender with a bit of pace. That's the spine of the side. We seem to have re-signed some players based on loyalty whilst having a strange obsession with recruiting ball-playing midfielders at the expense of physical presence. That can't be blamed on Covid/injuries and that's where my concerns lie.

Clark whilst a battler and a good leader, not a centre mid who’ll get us anywhere near the top. Only centre mid on the pitch for us today and gets himself stupidly booked inside half an hour. 🤦♂️

Jesus wept, it was only a few weeks ago that Jonno was seriously ill in hospital and close to losing his life due to covid. He could have easily taken sick leave whilst he recovers, but clearly wanted to get back into it probably against doctors orders. We’ve had 6 players affected by Covid, training and matches cancelled. Far from ideal preparations to a new season.
As Jonno said last week, the squad is realistically going to be another couple of weeks away from being where it should be in terms of fitness levels. If we get the players back to fitness and we’re still struggling, then is the time to really judge.
Also, Glendon and Weeks were probably the best centre midfield pairing in our league last season and it was always going to be a tall order to go somewhere like Kiddy without both of them. We’re also lacking a new forward having not replaced Asante or Elliott and this has been my only gripe this summer.

Just happy to have a club at the moment, and debt free. Not many are!

Too many fringe wingers and not enough bite A combatative midfield player and a big centre forward is a must.
