I don't disagree with that, I'd much rather we'd cruised through with a 4-0 win. But the hysteria on here just now was hilarious, at no point today were we in danger of falling out the play offs and the Tranmere goal confirmed us as being in them. Yet some on here were acting like we'd just blown any chance of making it. Couldn't make it up.


Not so. If Eastleigh had scored instead of Tranmere we would be in huge danger of not making it.

Anyway, irrelevant now. We need three good performances to go up.

It seems churlish to be critical on the day we clinch a play off place, but here was a 'must win' game against a very poor side. We failed.  It's only thanks to Tranmere beating a team that we couldn't even when they played half the game with ten men that we made it.

Not really a confidence booster is it.

Up to last week, Chester had lost more away league games than any other team this season in our Division.  They were bound to win then?

That's an if though, just like saying if we'd snatched an equaliser we'd have been definitely in. At no point were the scores today making it likely we wouldn't get in to the play offs.

As you say, I don't think there's any positive spin to put on today. A third poor home performance in a row is very worrying.
We've made it based on 45 games though, not because Tranmere won. During the regular season we've got the better of VGR & Dover so we do have it in us.

I'm fuming with Hurst. All Grimsby had to do was win today and third place would now be certain (all but mathematically).
Now, unless Hurst goes for it next week which is highly unlikely against a motivated Tranmere, Grimsby will finish fourth or even fifth. That entails playing away in the second-leg, but much more importantly it means no return for those foolish enough to back Grimsby each-way ante-post.
HURST OUT!

I feel your pain. I wouldn't overestimate Tranmere though. Braintree only need to avoid defeat at home to Alty to keep Tranmere out of it. I expect Braintree to win comfortably so Tranny may not be the highly motivated, fight-to-the-death team you fear if news of a couple of early goals comes through.

I think the most worrying thing is that the manager's best team played today and lost - the bench had little to improve the chances of winning.
