National league North 2021-22

[BigDaveCUFC]

We have half a new side who have barely played together so difficult to know what to expect tomorrow. Have at least trained a fair bit during the enforced break.

Did get to see Apter in the last game though who looks like a hell of a prospect, looking forward to see what he can do against a side who won't put 11 men behind the ball like Bradford did.

If we play defensive again I shall be calling for managers head.

We don’t have a team for that mass counter stuff he wants to play, so much better playing hung ho……probably lack the quality to get too 7 playing it but at least get moneys worth.

Last 3 home games we could have scored 10 goals per game so hasn’t been our tactic recently.

 

[AndyPark]

Big game for us down at Telford today, hoping we make the long trip back with 3 points.

 

[Lucky Bobble]

15 weeks of the season left, only halfway through the campaign, and some bad weather months to come. Squad depth may really matter.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

Curzon 2-0 Chester at half time, very undeserved.

Chester well on top but our keeper so far having one of them perfect games. Curzon had about 2-3 attacks and scored from 2. Thomas on bench so guessing he injured

Although 2 up think we need to try and find way to go on offensive cannot think our luck will hold full 90

It’s a carbon copy of what happened against Bradford last time we played .

Dear oh dear.

 

[Prodigal]

Well, against the odds considering the players we have just lost our solid defence stood firm again and we get a point at Brackley, but what the f*ck happened with Darlo?

Big scoreline too!

 

[Harrier94]

A dire performance against Hereford but the complete opposite today. Very comfortable 3-0 against probably the worst York side I've seen down here.

Sterling-James has got a cracking right foot as well. At least 30 yards for his goal from a free kick today.

 

[Minstermen central]

Oh dear,glad I didn’t go today.
Simply not good enough and another season in dog and duck.
We shopped 3 players out yesterday,one thing for sure is Watson certainly got recruitment totally wrong this season.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Poor showing from Alfreton. Two defeats to Blyth this season without scoring. Look to be on the way to yet another season of mid table mediocrity which is an under achievement with this side.

 

[Bluandwite]

Dear oh dear.

Infuriating isn't it, played really well (again) even if maybe a bit naive and that happens. That howler from Gray is as bad as anything you will see.

 

[Clem Fandango]

Fuck me infront of goal we are utter dogs eggs. God knows how many corners and crosses we put in today and produced Jack shit from it. Incredible that almost a thousand are still turning up to watch this utter mess of an overpaid pile of wank. As for Dawson getting yet another red card and subsequent suspension, strip him of the captaincy now.

If we manage to survive this season, I sincerely hope half of these players are shown the door.

Well, against the odds considering the players we have just lost our solid defence stood firm again and we get a point at Brackley, but what the f*ck happened with Darlo?

Just when I thought we'd turned the corner a little bit with some decent performances over the last few games. It's not acceptable from our players and management and they should be ashamed after this disgraceful performance. Utter dogshit!

 

[Darlo On Tour]

Big game for us down at Telford today, hoping we make the long trip back with 3 points.

I hope the fan's get their money back after that horror show.

I think the player's went down to Telford expecting a cakewalk and win effortlessly.

Curzon 4-3 Chester

Typically missed our winner by 2 minute as had to go early to catch bus as 3 year old getting tired, although also missed chesters first goal as my 3 year old took forever on the toilet so Curzon won 3-2 to me.

Weird game, we had Thomas on bench with a knock which always makes it tough. Hard fought win but Chester must wonder how they didn’t win it having dominated large spells, especially first half.

First half we did very little yet went 2 goals up, Chester dominated but we had lots of great goalkeeping last gasp stops etc etc to keep them out, didn’t think Chester did t score due to them the finishing was good but the luck went our way. We went 2 up from about only 2 attacks both finalised well but did seem to go under keeper.

Missed their goal but second half more even and entertaining lots and lots of chances, Chester kept going for it but we now had good go at them and they had gaps at back.

Frustrated at our poor defending on their 2nd and 3rd unmarked man in middle of box, what is point of 6-7 men rushing back in box if just allowing space from crossed and headers.

3rd especially annoying as we made couple of changes brought on a couple of usual first team player not fit enough to start and had began to frankly keep Chester at bay when suddenly bang 3-3 through poor defending.

Then back and forth action, chesters killer moment was 88th minute I think when they missed what looked a sitter (although was other side of ground) then we scored injury time to win.

Not really deserved but we should have beat Kidderminster and Southport and got a point from Chorley and bad luck flogged them so will take luck here

Hard to take for us Dave it’s the second away game in a row we have dominated and made and missed loads of chances, only to throw it away.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

If any positives you have a lot of quality there, build up play was good, you can win ball back well, strength and pace in forward areas.

Work on some defenders and a goalie and makings of a good side. I’ll always think well if livesey for his time at Carlisle but he shouldn’t be there anymore too old

 

[AJS]

How’s Jamie Cooke doing for you BigDaveCUFC ? Seems to be getting rave reviews from our end.

he has been a warrior until halfway through last season when age and injuries has meant he’s spent more time out than playing, he was only playing today because of a suspension but we have a lot of hope for youth team player Harrison Burke who came on to replace him.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Former Kings Lynn manager Ian Culverhouse appointed as new Kettering manager

 

[Luke Imp]

Longdon ended up joining York on a permanent, which was best for all parties. Nowhere near L1 standard. He needs to get into the rhythm of playing again and maybe push for the NL.

 

[Harrier94]

Quite the strike from Sterling for us on Saturday.

How did Redmond look?

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

I just seen the highlights and the Curzon winner vs Chester I missed and sorry but ‘hahahaha’ I’d say some Chester fans were thinking ‘bloody typical’

 

[Harrier94]

How did Redmond look?

Was very rusty but there's clearly a good player there. Air kicked and sliced a couple of clearences at first but definitely grew into the game. We only gave him 60 minutes probably to make sure he stays fit with his lack of minutes.

 

[Fyldefan]

Unbelievable how many late goals we concede. So reliant on haughton it’s ridiculous

 

[Harrier94]

Sounded like we got away with one tonight. Kettering keeper gets injured just before half time and they have to play a CB. We then fail to have a shot on target for the entire second half. They also had a goal disallowed in the 90th minute.

Take the 3 points but sounds like it should've been 1.

Chorley and Fylde result couldn't have gone much better for us, Brackley and Gateshead

 

[Minstermen central]

Well that was appalling and club in right mess.
Watson signed an absolute shit squad and Askey lost dressing room.
