Chester Match Thread

Quoted from Tinymariner

By the way Ginny, You are not one of the negative posters to whom I was referring!

Ok, wasn't thinking that anyway.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Let's be happy that we've conceded for the 10th game in a row. Please forgive me for pointing out that we will never be promoted if that continues and that we have the most contrary, negative manager in the club's history and that we are in the lowest league we've ever been in.

So basically, shutthefuckup and allow us to voice our alternative opinion.

NEGATIVE?! We're the top scorers in the division

It's a point away and we've gained points on lots if teams above.  I'm not over the moon but not devastated either.  One thing I will say is I'm seeing a lot of interviews on MP about Hurst saying how good we've been and Amond saying how good Robertson and Bogle are and how the squad can beat anyone on its day and will always create chances and we've been in good form it's not a blip etc etc... I think it's all good having belief, but there comes a time when they all need to stop blowing smoke up each other and just go out there and do what they all think and state regularly that they're capable of.  Maybe let someone know in training about a poor finish it a loose pass... It all comes across very nice at the minute, fair play if it works but 2 wins in the last 7 didn't suggest that. I think confidence and self belief is a good thing, but they need to make sure they don't get delusional or complacent.  We've only seen they're capable against newly promoted teams really so I currently think they need to be told they're actually not performing anywhere near what's expected of them in games against more capable opposition. I like Hurst and still support him and I'm also not a manager, but it was an observation that was stRting to irritate me.  Hopefully see a bit more anger and fight on Friday from a team that look like they've been told they need to improve, rather than they've been unlucky.

Good post

Its the other top of the league chart im interested in , ya know the one with points at the end of the column.

For what it's worth I actually think Robinson is a good player  

And on that note..........

Agreed

Listening to the match I would say a draw was a fair result,obviously not one we wanted but the only way Chester was going to score was a penalty, Hannah must have gone down five or six times in the box trying to con the ref,it was only going to be a matter of time before he was awarded one and a very soft one it was. Our lads showed great spirit to keep going up to the final whistle and get something out of the game. Looking back to the same fixture last season, being two up then conceeding two late goals in the manner we did makes tonights draw a bit easier to swallow. Get back to winning ways again friday and tonight will be a distant memory. Just a shame we didn't take all three points tonight as teams above dropped points. A long way to go yet with plenty of points left to play for.

Great video clip of the equaliser, taken from behind the goal, doing the rounds on Twitter. Great reaction from Town fans as you might imagine!
