“Chance to put things right against Farsley as we did against Rushall”
Somebody needs to point out to Andy that even if we win 10-0 against Farsley we still don’t get back the 3 points we threw away yesterday.

[cassidystash]

Kouogun 1, Evans 1, Nicholson 1.
I’d call it schoolboy defending but that would be unkind to schoolboys.

It’s possible to set up not to concede and still get a couple of goals. Not sure how that makes a mockery of claiming to want to win every game. Every manager wants to win every game, but they’re not stupid enough to think they will. If he’d claimed he would then I would agree with you.

You’re right, setting up defensively could still sneak a win – but does it give him the best chance of doing so?

[cassidystash]

He was happy with the point at Chester, the one he set up to achieve. I would expect similar tomorrow making a mockery of his “I want to win every game” assertion.

Much better!! Not top notch but a big improvement.
FBs (sorry WBs) played further forward.
Passes quicker and more accurate (some notable exceptions)
More attacking intent with 2 forwards + Alfie.
Well done Andy.

[cassidystash]

Moving in the right direction though.

[cassidystash]

Potential 3-4-3?

[cassidystash]

5 home and 5 away. Win all the home games and I’ll forgive him for setting up to draw away. BUT (sorry Andy) will he set up to win at home?

“Scoring goals is harder than stopping them.”

Especially if you have 7 defenders and 4 attackers.

Kai Corbett still not starting at Shots, unused sub. this week.

[cassidystash]

Butler is confusing me (and maybe himself)
He has said repeatedly in interviews “I want to win every game”
He then sets up in an over defensive manner and says, as above,”if you don’t concede you can’t lose”
On the other hand if you score 5 you’re unlikely to lose either, can we try that for a bit and see how it goes?

I think the key is a back 4. Not really fussed what happens in front of that, 4-2,3-3 or even2-3-1. Just get a CB off and a more forward thinking player on.

[cassidystash]

Sent off recently, maybe suspended?

Restarting the academies will be a good start but they will take several years to produce their 1st players.

I have a terrible memory, can you remind me of the regular first teamers produced by the academy over the last 10 years or so. Thanks.

CM would have been better.

[cassidystash]

I bet Man. City supporters are loving Cole Palmer at Chelsea. (Mind you they’re still successful)

[cassidystash]

Winning games will certainly stop/reduce criticism, if it comes with entertainment then that’s a bonus. What prompts unrest is boring draws against teams we should be beating or, even worse, losing along with the (perceived) lack of effort/interest by some players and finally a complete inability to pass a ball successfully.

Lots of knowledge on here I-a.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing! At the time they weren’t good enough for the level at which we were playing. (IMO)

[cassidystash]

Maybe Trinity’s system suits him, how would he fare in our team with the emphasis on defence?

Then maybe we should have moved on, we can’t afford to wait IMO, it’s urgent.

One big disappointment:-
There is money to strengthen the squad
We have a list of players that would improve us
Why aren’t they with us?

Happy to put millions out of work then?
Happy to pay more in tax to make up the government shortfall?

ICYMI:-
“This Saturday’s game against Scunthorpe United is our annual Retro Day at the Deva Stadium. On the day of the game, we are encouraging supporters of both Chester FC and Scunthorpe United to wear their retro shirts to the game this weekend.”

[cassidystash]

Why? It’s not compulsory, lots of people bet responsibly and enjoy it.
