Chester Match Thread

Quoted from Tinymariner

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and has every right to air it, however certain posters cannot bring themselves to offer any positivity when we play well. They don't go to games and come out in force when they think we are losing or have lost. Well, sodomist off and find some balance. When we play poor, I admit it and vice versa, just don't focus on the negative. We can do this UTM.

So all the naysayers are people who don't attend games and only post when we lose?

Sorry, that's bollox.

And the "were you there" card is played.

Valid play of the card in fairness. Especially when the rest of the post in question has been conveniently ignored.

I suggest you look at the Just Back thread after Saturday if you're aiming that comment my way.

Too bloody  right  the was you there card was played. It is the only way to counter such ridiculous accusations. Only someone who wasnt there could come up with something so blatantly wrong

Anyone know what the performance was like? Before we go too far in our condemnation/ adulation

Asking what the views of people at the game will be isn't "playing a card". It is wondering what viewers thought about the game because they, you know, were actually there.

We know that Tondeur makes some games sound doom-laden so a different viewpoint is useful. I don't actually listen to games myself these days but all the posts in this thread are obviously based on his commentary so, as always, I'm interested in reading the 'Just back' threads. In general, it sounds like a performance typical of this season - missed chances, soft goal conceded etc etc. Let's see if the folks who went to the game say anything different!

No, not all, but the majority who post on here whinge and complain, never offering anything other than 'Hurst out' comments etc, rather than highlighting anything positive ie. A last gasp equaliser away from home. Notice how they all stopped posting when we scored? Coincidence? No.

Were you there barra ?

Just asking.

Quoted from ginnywings

People say that missing chances is not the managers fault but it is his job to find a solution and his job to stop us leaking silly goals. Neither of which he has yet done.

Ok, it's all well and good to say it's his job to sort out individual aberrations but just exactly how does he do that? There's nothing Hurst could have done in his preparations or tactics that would have stopped Robertson taking Hannah's legs or Bogle missing a sitter. We've not been outplayed in any games yet this season. If we were being outplayed, believe me, I'd be less than happy. As we're not and with Hurst's track record with the defence, I have belief that we will soon start keeping clean sheets. It's not excrement or twist time...yet.
