Not one shot on target for the whole game ,says everything about that rubbish today.
Derby won’t have an easier victory than that and but for Tickle and some very poor finishing could and should have won by a lot more.Remember 2008 when they invaded the town in ridiculous numbers and then invaded the home seats at the end and subsequently bullied people out of them to see Man Ure lift the title.
For that day alone and how some of their lot allegedly behaved around town that day it should be fifty minimum.
will be significant police costs anyway I would expect so justified given the numbers they bring.
Fifty and twenty five tops about right I think.Always get the impression sometimes that our players coast it a bit.
With a bit more dynamism we would have easily won that game yesterday but seemed happier bouncing the ball around like a training session than really grafting positively and really going for it.
Looked the better team for most of the game but again dropped points.
The free kick at the end p/seed me off a bit , should have just rolled that ball down and smashed it in the box but instead dithered and allows the ref to blow up before it was taken.
Chance wasted imo
Roberto style without a doubt and not sure why we should be so cagey annd pensive against teams like Orient.Bolton Game
I would expect that one to be kicked down the road as far as it can if it doesnt take place in January.
April sometime would be the fixture in my view when the nights are lighter , easier to police and they will probablyby then have ballsed up their promotion push up as per usual.Both should be a nice passage into round 3 barring any mess ups and then a big away tie in London would be nice to bring in some revenue.
The allocations will be very small though , either tie would sell 2000 tickets especially if its Chester but have a feeling it may be one selected for TV coverage.Just had a thought ,maybe they want a cup run for financial reasons, a big away draw in the 3rd round can mean a massive cash boost although chances are very slim of getting this based on past experiences.
The team he has is more than good enough to pull away from trouble but he has some dead wood rooting to do in the new year and i think moving one or two out would be the best thing if he can.
Id play a weakened team tomorrow and make sure the main players are in on tuesday , league one status is far more important than cup runs this year as far as i am concerned as a drop to league 2 would be disastrous for the club.
League 1 is the best place to be and i will happily take a few years of consolidation and transition and some good youth players developed as opposed to short term success.
It took Whelan 8 years to build the club up for the championship when he purchased in 1995 and i have a feeling we may have to be patient and accept we have many years ahead in the lower divisions before the club can build steam up again.
The odd cup run and local derby wins here and that is all i am expecting over the next few years.
Could easily be getting ready tomorrow for a trip to Holker Old Boys if things had gone the wrong way a few months ago.Playing a weakened side for an important league game is beyond the realms of inept in my opinion.
Couldn’t believe how poor that first half display and left on 70 minutes and totally down to the team he picked.
A home banker that all day and three points tossed away.At least the penny has dropped that instead of playing billy big time that they are in a relegation battle and that realisation was certainly on show during the game against a very good side.
Tickle was superb last night and i saw enough of Stones in the small amount of time he was on the pitch to suggest he will feature very strongly in this team from now on.
The intensity has certainly been stepped up , expecting a climb up the table in next few weeks if they continue to play like that.
