A paltry 46 from Gloucester. I can only apologise for our piss poor contribution to the attendance in advance. You want to apologise for bringing that fucking time wasting here? Hope you go bust with Fylde or stick to watching rugby

The front 3 really doesn't work, good players but the formation isn't right for them. There is a continuous pattern this season of us struggling first half and then being better second half and making the same subs to chase a game and rescue a point. We are tough to beat definitely but it's making draw more and it won't be enough to get playoffs

Frustrating evening, we weren't at our best and Gloucester couldn't stop cheating.
Think a draw was probably fair, a night to forget.

Very wasteful in possession tonight, we had plenty of the ball but just kept playing it from side to side. Tyrer had a bit of an off day as his distribution wasn't great.
I don't know how Gloucester are where they are in the table, they're shite. I've never known a team waste time from the first whistle. I'd be embarrassed to be a Gloucester supporter.
Not good at all tonight so a point probably isn't a bad result. We just need to stop drawing games as we're only 5 points off the bottom 3.

Thought we were piss poor these are the games we need to be winning Didn’t create nothing wish we’d stop playing our two best strikers on the wing… Exactly my thoughts too. I think we created one clear cut chance in the whole 70 minutes (I say 70 because those cheating diving fuckers spent 20 mins rolling around on the pitch) We played tippy tappy pass the ball across the back most of the match because there was no movement up front. They could at least try to pull the defenders around a bit to create space. Some will say we did well and scrapped hard for that point but we were bloody awful tonight

Did well to get a point out of that against a dirty bruising cheating time wasting bunch left unpunished by a weak as piss referee. They deserved their half time lead - quicker and stronger than us- our lads were just bouncing off them. Second half we persisted with this frustrating sideways slow passing against 11 defenders.We don’t seem to have any plan B - needed to be much more direct.It’s frustrating and not entertaining. Right to take off lynch( don’t know what he actually does)and Dudley ( unwilling to run for through balls). In a high energy game we needed Murray- better when he came on- went past people and opened up space. Williams was very good again but Coates star man and to be fair we played on him well. Onwards we go- win next game and momentum grows.coyb

Fractious, frustrating, referee made a poor decision re the high boot which caused aggravation. We let a goal in so they wasted time which was tough to watch and difficult to manage. Some of the crowd can’t cope with the possession football. Tension all round. I enjoyed it😀

One of the only times we showed urgency and got the ball moving quickly, Dec played Coates in first time down the right and he had the jump on the defence to get behind and cross for Murray to score. Only one shot on target is a worrying stat. Glad we scored from it! Coates MoM. Most players underperformed tonight and we looked all wrong up top. Hopefully we'll have some fresh legs for Saturday.

Awful watch that. Ref lost control of the game after about 5 mins and just let them frankly take the absolute piss all game with the time wasting, diving and feigning injury. Ref didn’t seem arsed at all maybe he didn’t even want to be there I don’t know. I think it is quite clear that their tactics just riled us up and frustrated us. The amount of runs in behind that Kurt done and the pass was either over hit, required a god like touch to control or far too late so he ended up being offside was ridiculous. This didn’t help things so we ended up playing side to side passes the whole game trying to find an opening against a low block. Unfortunately we don’t play wingers up the pitch so we end up so narrow and easy to defend against. There’s very rarely a time where we can use our fullbacks as an overlap due to this reason as well. We only scored tonight because of Weeks’ sublime pass which forced Coates to run forward to get the ball. He’s quick and can use his pace to beat a player but he was doubled up all game pretty much with no options other than backwards. That ball took one of their players out of the move completely. All in all just a frustrating night but it is still a point, we could easily have lost a game like that

Fair point really, Gloucester may be as unlikeable as you’ll get but they aren’t the worst side in the division by a long way either.
We looked tired after this cluster of games, two of which against higher division opposition with one of them going the distance with extra time and pens. Maybe being unchanged wasn’t the way to go on reflection.
Goal came from the only time all night we put a ball to Coates that he could run on to, he did well to find Murray who put away a really tidy finish. Really don’t understand why it was the only time though, he was often in space but Weeks and Edwards were constantly too slow to make the pass so we kept finding Coates’ feet rather than the space in front of him. It was definitely there.
Gloucester went a suicidal early pace, if we hadn’t gone behind then they would have really tired and opened up as the game went on, but they got the goal on the counter after Lynch gave it away (wasn’t fouled) and then could save their legs in the second half. Outrageous time wasting though, worst I’ve seen I think. They could have travelled back home in the same amount.

Christ that was frustrating. Fair play to Gloucester, they had a game plan and it worked. They had one shot and scored, proper away performance.
So hard to break through two banks of 5 but credit to the players for sticking with it and getting something.
Cal has to take it as a positive, teams are coming here and scared of going toe to toe with us. Up to him now to open those teams up.
Few moans however.
Think it was crying out for a natural winger and took far too long for Dazzler to come on.
I don’t think that front 3 works together, too congested. Need width and runners
As good as Robbo has been, he wasn’t needed after an hour.
Distribution from the CB’s has to be better, so many times they could play forwards and wide but reluctant to. Suppose that’s why they’re at this level.
Ref was an idiot. Fair play for booking their lad for time wasting but then everyone after that has to be a booking as well. He bottled it
Their gaffer is a horrible little rat, played his part well but would have loved a winner against them.

Still not quite calmed down yet, hope their coach breaks down on the way home and 18 of them have to share a room in an M5 Travelodge.
On the football front, thought we were too narrow again with our only attacking outlet really being Coates.
It looks like a 433 which doesn’t work at all against teams like this who can just camp us out. 4 big games in the space of 2 weeks has probably taken its toll though, but on that I’d a like to have seen some rotation in the 11?
We need to get Weeks back centrally playing off front men, he found himself out on the right too often where he’s ineffective.
Boston and Spennymoor now seem big tests don’t they? 4/6 a must in all honesty- anything less and we’ll be already off the playoff pace.

As soon as we started playing with 11 players by taking the woeful Lynch off we looked a different team. He can’t tackle, goes hiding and a gust of wind would knock him off the ball. Murray looked different league and took it to Gloucester and that was a quality finish. Hopefully the last we’ve seen of Lynch as that was as worse a performance I’ve seen from a Chester player for many a long year.

Say what you like about Gloucester, yes they were absolute shithouses regarding the time wasting but they've obviously been told to do that to break up any rhythm the home side may have & for large portions of the game it worked. The blame lies with the referee who was absolutely abysmal. He had no clue at times & at least 5 of their players should have been booked for simulation perhaps sent off with the amount they did it. They embarrassed the ref tonight & I'd suggest he find another career.
Onto the game itself, it was a poor performance due to Gloucester getting everyone behind the ball. That being said it's up to us as the home side to break them down. The problem is we have no width unless we push Coates forward which we did more second half, but the midfield 3 is far to narrow & trying to pass your way through 2 banks of 5 is difficult with no width. For me formation needs looking at it as we do struggle to break sides down & they weren't a good side. Game changed when Murray came on gave us a lot more urgency & did so much better than the yet again ineffective Dudley. Great finish too for the goal. Man of the match though definitely Coates, the lad is different gravy & you could make a case that he'd be better suited as a right winger. He's absolute class.

Same ref we had at Alfreton Cal has said in his post match interview. That explains it then!

Frustrating as they come that. The only positives are that we didn’t lose and the attendance.
I knew Gloucester were going to frustrate us even before the first whistle when they switched the kicking direction and took ages with their pre-match huddle.
Gloucester looked like they had some decent players and didn’t really need waste as much time as they did. I think we should have made our changes earlier as it was clear within 5 minutes of the second half that it wasn’t really working. They also lost their captain and top scorer McClure at half time so, I think we should have thrown caution to the wind.
A few players on Saturday looked like they could do with a rest, so I was surprised that there were no changes again tonight. Thomas would be a good one to bring back into the squad, but not sure why he’s still missing?
We’re definitely a lot harder to beat and look more of a team this season, but we just can’t seem to get higher than 15th/16th in the table again. We’ve got two long trips coming up, but against two out of form teams, so it will be interesting to see how we fare in these games.

Abysmal 70 minutes. Worst I’ve seen all season.
Made up when that went in. Cheating twats. Hope their pathetic support have a shite journey home. Giving it the Welsh shite. 😴
Embarrassing away following.

Quite a few had a poor game tonight, but I don’t see you listing and witch hunting them? Coulton, Edwards, Dudley, Roberts or even Weeks wasn’t anywhere near his levels. Is Lynch his new Dudley?
