Results based business, if that's how we win and do well, personally I don't care. I'd rather win 1-0 than lose 4-3 Frankly you get more points over 3 games for two 3-2 wins and a 4-3 loss than two bore 0-0 and a one nil win. Plus you stick 500 on the gate with the former? I think at the level we’re playing at it’s an entertainment business not just results. There are a lot more things to spend your hard earned on than putting yourself through the turgid fare being served up at the mo. Someone in another thread alluded to us not scoring in 11 out of 20 home games, are you seriously saying this is what you want to watch? |

Are Kevlar, Archwhopper and TheShed the same poster?
Suspicious activity there.

Time a few of the favourites to come in for a few questions.
We can all see Glendon and Peers are struggling, but no comments on:
Woodthorpe - really poor for weeks.
Burke - miles off it and beaten time and again in the air.
Weeks - Ineffective
Caton - one purple patch in a season not enough.
Turner - just not up to it.
Bainbridge - been great so far but will any one mention how weak and wasteful he was today?
The honest reality is those players listed above are better than they’ve shown so far. It’s now clear that our tactics are not getting anywhere near enough from them. We don’t create chances and have no answer to a team sitting deep. I think it’s probably time for change now.

I don't come on here often to criticise, but I think we need a change.
Been playing poor, imo for most of the season.
Absolutely shite today and after shite midweek.
Can't score for toffee and them twats down the road are laughing at us.
Need a money backer and new direction.
Cal has to go.

Can’t remember a performance as bad as that for a long long time. Utterly spineless stuff. Near enough every player is out of form and there’s nothing Cal can do about it as our squad is tiny. Still think the calls for his head are premature. Got 3 games in a week coming up. If we don’t get improved performances and a decent points return in them then I think the board will have to act. Which brings me onto the people who are saying the board won’t act as Cal is their mate. What do you expect the board to do, be horrible to an employee and work colleague? If people are so unhappy with the board why don’t they stand for election at the next AGM?

We weren’t that bad last ten mins of that half. Too little too late obviously. Poor second goal to give away. That really knocked the stuffing out of them. Poor third goal too. Peers was given the ball on the edge the box to bring out and somehow gave away a penalty! All four goals were the result of errors. |

It is shite at the moment but on the surface it isn't walking/sackable stuff. Football followers on the outside looking in at this seasons results, form, table etc would be absolutely bemused if he left now. We are only in October, only two points off playoffs. Only lost two this week on the back of a nine-match unbeaten run in the league. Gates still above 2,000. Any non-Chester fan looking at that would reflect badly on our club/board if the manager was to go based on that. And the club should only really act if fans start voting with their feet and the financial implications of that - I am often bored shitless at the Deva but we’re still bringing in 2k+ gates. It is shite, yes, but it’s still changeable. All in the manager’s hands still, if he makes the necessary changes and doesn’t double-down on his stance out of spite then it’s easily salvageable. Time for level heads lads. |

Didn’t go today (thank Christ) but in general I’ve been a big defender of Cal & the likes of Glendon who gets tons of (often unfair) stick but so far this season both he & Weeks have often been poor & we seem light in midfield.
No idea why he’s brought in DMH who (from what I’ve seen) looks miles off it & besides, doesn’t fit into the system.
Woodthorpe’s form has dropped off after being so solid earlier in the season, same with Caton.
Willoughby hasn’t been good enough but isn’t playing in his preferred position.
Hunter doesn’t look anywhere near the exciting NL full back we were lead to believe, Rawlinson & Pollock have been generally solid but neither have pulled up trees, Burke the same really. Roberts has been ok but clearly his age is catching up & he can’t be the utility man that we seem to need.
Bainbo has been quality almost every game I’ve seen.
Murray does what he does, no complaints.
Peers gets stick but I think he’s playing exactly as instructed & often does provide space for the other attacking players.
Turner & Hancox haven’t seen enough game time to really give them a fair shout.
Overall the players simply haven’t performed well enough. Whether that’s down to quality, the system, squad depth or something else I couldn’t say but going from being a solid, organised team that rarely concede & very rarely concede more than the odd goal, to a team that have shipped 8 & scored 1 in four games is a travesty.

Second goal that the keeper hasn't covered himself in glory with. Seemed to dive over the top of it. He had the first one too, but allowed it to squirm into the net. |
