Absolutely we want promotion. Is the current squad good enough for that level? Possibly.
Teams going up from the NL playoffs have generally performed well in recent seasons…just look at Bromley.

Hope he’s better than Smith, shocking again thus far.

Carlton will always be a club legend for that goal but sadly I think NLN is his level. Hope he does well!
From what I’ve seen written online by Chester fans and others this Jones fella is a bit of a coup! Not sure how many wingers Butler thinks we can fit in the squad though (Roberts, Smith, Dausch, Hurst, now Jones, Beestin started there most recently at Aldershot, Howe if/when he comes back).

First half was awful and Yeovil were extremely lucky to not go in ahead. Whitehall shithousery and general falling over strategy eventually got us a pen but we did not deserve to be ahead at that point of the game.
However, Dausch and Farrell changed the game when they came on, particularly with Dausch stretching Yeovil’s defence and getting in behind multiple times. Farrell was a handful, moves around well and should have had a hat trick. Smith did nothing, looks a different player to the one we had previously. Barrows awful (again)…gave the ball away at least into the double digit figures. Some in the crowd cheered when he got taken off which isn’t a great sign.
Overall, good away performance in the end and well happy to come away with 3 goals, 3 points and a clean sheet.

Does anybody truly think that with the attitude and mannerisms shown by AB that he will in any way, shape or form take on board any sort of constructive criticism aired towards him and his team via this forum? I certainly won’t be holding me breath.
Boston need a defender, they sign Jamie Grimes on loan who’s won the National League as Chesterfield captain. We need a defender we sign a kid on loan who’s never played a senior game of football before.

Better second half massively helped by the red card. But why oh why as soon as we went ahead did we start creeping back into our own half? There was no need!
19 goals conceded in 6 games, with 3+ goals conceded in 5 of those. Defensive shambles!

Boyce and Horton absolutely awful!

Rene is Dec’s dad, otherwise it is a bit of an unhealthy obsession.

Absolute shit show today. We just cannot defend at the moment, not helped by Mahady handing them the first goal (again). Powder puff in midfield, Ewing couldn’t get near anyone (what’s happened to him since the turn of the year!?).
1 win and 15 goals conceded in the last 6 games (with the 1 win being a total smash and grab against Southend). New signings have so far contributed the combined sum of zero. The wheels have well and truly come off, something ain’t right in camp Scunny.

Regarding the penalty, just had a look on the FA website at the rules…any “illegal feinting” results in an indirect free kick being awarded and a caution (yellow card) being shown to the kicker.
The ref got it spot on, Dieseruvwe clearly completed his run up and then stopped, i.e feinted. Don’t think he touched the ball and he didn’t need to for the refs outcome to be correct.

If we can go back to the performance shown at Boreham Wood away then we’ve got every chance of getting a result. Play anything like we have since that night and Rochdale’s goal difference will probably increase significantly.

6 in the league (from 15 starts), 10 if you include the cups (including the Mickey Mouse NL Cup).

Not sure if we can say if Smith is a bad signing or not yet but what have Hurst, Smith or Dausch done that Dec Howe wouldn’t have done? Absolutely nothing.

I’ve always liked Brogan, works hard, not shy of a tackle and can clearly pop up with a goal out of nothing. He’s never really been given a run of games to settle into the side.
For all of Ewing’s strong points, 1 goal from open play this season (on the opening day) is pretty poor for a more advanced midfielder.
Don’t understand why Bellahoun doesn’t get more of a run out at full back. Denton is a real concern for me. His passing is awful and his defending leaves a lot to be desired. He seems to switch off quite a lot in important situations. I would feel confident meeting Carlisle in the playoffs if it came to that.
Think Belahouan is injured. But regarding Denton’s passing, it was his peach of a cross field pass that setup our only goal Vs Southend.

The funniest lines were around Horton being “vertically disadvantaged” and the offside law should be changed so that if you’re in an offside position when the ball is played but then receive it in an offside position, you should be deemed onside as it’s “just clever play”.
Real amateur hour stuff. DAZN should give the option for either commentary, Ollie Turner and Torps do a stellar job.

The double standards being applied to Mahardy mistakes are as evident as the disgraceful bullying of Campbell.As for Beck there was a lot of online noise but I remember him scoring and the majority being genuinely pleased for him personally
If you’re going to keep bringing up Mahady with comparisons to Campbell, at least get his name right.
There’s a reason Mahady has been signed for the rest of the season and Campbell sent out on loan to a club THREE divisions below us.

Their squad size is irrelevant, he went back to Coventry because he clearly wasn’t deemed good enough to get in FG’s team (managed to make 11 appearances off the bench so couldn’t have been that seriously injured).
He worked hard today in his brief cameo but that’s no different to what Dec would have done. Still find it a very strange decision unless Dec forced the move himself.
