Curzon Match Thread

Did Peers say in his interview when he asked the lads what was up he didn't know where Glendon was ..... did I hear this right

Are we still in that daft hybrid training model? Bout time we either decided if we was full time or part time as it clearly doesn’t work for us…

System has to change. We’ve got the players to do it so do it before it is too late.

The league is wide open.

Don’t blame the players he says but it was individual mistakes, if that’s not blaming players what is. Are they lacking confidence due to tactics, team selection or what. Whatever the reason the squad is small so limited options to change it. A number of those initial and subsequent signings for a small squad don’t offer much hope either. Squad is imbalanced and needs a couple of additional players bringing in asap before it’s too late for this season.
Cal talked about pressure in all seasons so far managing Chester, guess what Cal every manager at all levels feels under pressure, it’s a results driven business, stop meaning about it and do your job, or go.

Put Rawlinson in temporary charge with Woodthorpe until a replacement in place, can’t be any worse.

Is Mahon your love child? You've been consistently posting him for manager for weeks now.  Have you got money on it? 😂

To put things into some sort of perspective,  Mahon is employed full time in the Wigan Athletic Academy and has been for years. It is difficult to believe he would pack that in to come to Chester for 2 or 3 years. Our new training facility means we need to train during the day. So I just don't see how your wishful thinking could work.

It's a pity as the type of team he's put together at Curzon seems a better fit for NLN than the one we have. Put some of our better players in there too, and it would really effective.

Someone posted that John Coleman nearly went for the Stalybridge job. It seems unlikely but, if true, he'd be a serious option.

No. He was saying that he’d asked some players what was going wrong but didn’t want that to look like he was cutting in on Glendon as captain

Absolutely today was disgraceful, I think Cal is the man to turn it around and if we get rid I’m sure he’ll beat us into the football league.

Two defeats is not sacking material. Personally, I think he needs to be given time. Having said that, we went into the season with a hangover from last year and it's pretty obvious the wider fan base is not happy with the playing style which doesn't seem to have changed. The goals scored column over the last 6 games is damning.

when you have been thrown to lions at the Deva your time is up , and that's what has happened to Cal ! bring on on the next victim

There may be something in that.

However, a lot of the older fan base also watched his Youth sides over the years, and are very supportive of Cal. Didn't see many of the younger ones at those matches.

The style of football is important though. The managers who play a less entertaining style of football need to win games. Supporters want to be entertained.  Just watching your team grind out a win is ok some weeks, but we need more. Fans will turn on a manager far quicker when the football is boring. I actually think Cal has had a fairly smooth ride because he's one of us. 

Maybe some of the younger ones enjoy the modern style of passing the ball around and keeping possession more, as that's what they see on the tv with Man City. It's probably a generation thing. The game constantly evolves.

I one of our older supporters, 1955 was my first game to be honest I've seen some rubbish over the years never said I hated any of the managers or players I was brought to use the words don't like it seems kinder. I don't know if cal has the answers or is he so sure his way is the only way, either way it's not working and unfortunately for me if he can't change then he must go.

Can't be arsed reading through all this on a Saturday night, but what I'll say is that regardless of whether we are Chester City or Chester FC it's just not an acceptable result to get spunked 0-4 by Curzon. I wouldn't be disappointed to see Cal's resignation tonight....a horrific result in a season that has largely been disappointing so far despite being well backed. Time up for me.
