Aldershot Town V Chester FC MATCH THREAD

Nobody gave the Irishman a chance against what was considered to be a flashier and more technical counterpart. For the earlier part of the contest the blows reigned in and it was only a matter of time before the killer blow was delivered. It came but miracously the (Northern) Irish man with the sound bites and confidence got up and rode the storm before getting on an even footing in the contest.

Then from nowhere the killer blow was delivered late in the contest by the man no one gave a chance!

Well done blues, brilliant result against all the odds, hope this shuts the serial whingers up for bit, but I doubt it, they have no class. No one deserves the vile rhetoric of some. Yes performances have been in part poor and tactics mind numbing but the attitude of several on here has been well ott. Was never going to be easy or pretty away against a team at the top of the table, but despite having no forwards in second half we seem to have come up with tactics and performance to sneak a win. Well done all, particularly those who made the effort to stick with the team and travel.

So pleased with this result not least that it may, for a brief period, keep the abusive, negative, and pessimistic moaners quiet. Free speech doesn't mean personal abuse to management and players is OK. It isn't. Never. No excuses.

You have a different definition than me then.

This thread is an embarrassing read.

Let's enjoy the result but not get carried away. Could have been a completely different story had it not been for the woodwork. Still, that doesn't matter, final result shows we hit the onion bag more times than Aldershot overall. Got to follow this up with a win on Monday now. Well done to the players for grinding it out.

I had a feeling we'd win today as it's the sort of thing that happens with us (see Braintree, Torquay last season) and was going to use that free matched £30 bet to back us at 15/1 but this new MyClubBetting thing we've partnered with was very erratic this afternoon and essentially I just left it. Anyway, fantastic character to get that result given the circumstances of top v bottom, their incredible home record, our terrible form and losing all of our forward to injury. Superb.

However, we've got to build on this now on Monday and get the home monkey off our backs to start some run of positive results going. There's a real danger that this result can just mimick the aforementioned Braintree, Torquay results. If so, then nothing has changed for me in terms of the manager. Monday is huge now. What I don't want to see is an excuse that today's game was written off so he's exceeding his little block of matches target and we revert back to type for the next couple of games. Could still go that way.

Anyway, great result today. Let's kick on.

Akintunde did his hamstring early 1st half but played on until halftime, not a wise move imo.

So that's 3 of our 4 strikers out with muscle problems!

Surely we've got to bring in an emergency striker on loan now???

I'd play Dawson up front again or maybe the youth player Brown.

Aww bless. Don't worry, I'm sure we'll lose on Monday for you and you can have a therapeutic little whine.

made up with the 3 points, nothings really changed, the blokes still a buffoon, it just means he'll be ok for next 2 or 3 games, look on the brightside , less money we'll have to pay out when he does eventually get the bullet

Hahaha

You plonker Rodney!!!

Tom Crawford is the young striker, Nat Brown is a winger I think. In any case we shouldn't have to rely on our young players so we need to bring in cover.
