Just Back

Just back and ordered my curry, agree it feels like defeat. It was easy, Chester had given up, they'd had one opportunity with a long shot. Ok they had more of the ball in 2nd half than we'd like. But their tactic was to hit the channels, our best two players (magnay and Robertson) had it covered! Disley made sure they weren't attacking through the middle and Palmer and pitman were running them ragged!!! The crowd were chanting hursts name and cheering the lads home.

Then it happened. Palmer off, parslow on. I've nothing against paslow, he didn't lose the points, that can't be pinned on any of the players, that 451 tactic just doesn't work! We had a nackered JPP up front on his own, no chance against their 4 defenders! He didn't even put Hannah on to chase the ball!

It's fair to say I'm gutted, the players didn't deserve that, the fans didn't deserve that, and for PH to come out and ask if it really went wrong just laughs in the face of all of us! all in all a missed opportunity to make it a three horse race.

By the way, Arnold was great today.  Lot's of effort, and his first touch control was a joy to watch at close hand

I bet their manager is regretting taking Oli Palmer off, he was a quality player for them and we struggled to handle him. They probably thought they had the game won.
Absolutely, big mistake that smile.gif

On match days ... we ALL play!

Have we discussed the farce of only  1 turnstile being open? Absolute joke.

We were so comfortable until par slow came on. 100% hurst' fault we lost those 2 points.

Perhaps that fan doesn't realise that Palmer is still coming back from a hamstring injury? That's the reason he was taken off.

Hurst should be regretting not keeping two strikers on the pitch.

20 to 12 and there's not much of a defence of Hurst except Rob and his gambling strategies. That's telling because usually by now there's a lot of comments from some who went defending Hurst.

I'm pretty pro-Hurst in general. I went today and that subsitution was flipping stupid. Felt like a loss, given that we were so comfortable.

He told JT there was a chance we would have  / could have lost if we'd kept to a 442 so don't think he does regret what he did

Seems to me that he's just being pig-headed about anyone questioning his decision making - even though to anyone and everyone else it was wrong he is reluctant to admit it

Reminds me of that England v West Germany game where we were cruising then Charlton went off and we ended up losing

The game isn't won till the final whistle so when you're in a winning position why hand over the initiative to the opposition while they have time to turn things around

Fatal tactical error imho

The idiots on  security got it so wrong  yesterday when there was still plenty of room in the corner of the away end they shut it off and forced us all in the side stand where there was just ONE TURNSTILE IN OPERATION We got in 20 minutes late despite being there at twenty to three.  Didn't see any trouble but it could have got very ugly a total fiasco on Chesters part. They just can't handle a big set of away fans god knows what they do when Wrexham visit.

OUR FANS WERE MAGNIFICENT SO PROUD TO BE A MARINER.

HURST PLEASE APOLOGISE AND ADMIT YOU GOT IT SO WRONG AT LEAST THAT WOULD BE A CRUMB OF COMFORT.

PS also thought Arnold was sheer quality is control was superb and Ollie was also causing them problems and had a good game yeah he looked tired and did need replacing but NOT TO GO 4,5,1. and shut up shop so early their manager and defenders must have thought YES YES YES.

The magnificence fans who were pushing in front of women and kids to get in ......? And the same fans dancing being complete stone island dicks in front of the disabled supporters who couldn't see ? Some of our fans are a disgrace and a waste of air.
