National League North 2024/25

We're much better away from home. Any idea if Poscha is banned? I know it's a week at this level but he was sent off in the cup.

He’s in the team so playing.

Gone with the more offensive 4-2-3-1 again will see how it plays because Chester fans seemed to think our 4 goals with that change was more then than us gambling on a further attack midfield will see if it reaps reward vs someone else

Wonder why this game isn’t on national tv and they have on instead Oldham reserves vs wolves youth!?

A good away performance so far frankly stifling the game and led to us creating absolutely nothing so far.

Kiddy better with the counter attack doing a lot more with less players than we are in their half, beautiful cross for the goal.

We just too damn lazy so far, have nothing other than hoof to Spencer and hope he somehow brings ball down, beats four players on own and creates something…..the others tonight mostly standing there until they get a ball then try and run a little before stopping .

Only hope is because kiddy playing counter game they creating little as well and while deserving the lead so far it’s only one goal and they also don’t look dangerous, only takes us to get a break somewhere and game could yet turn but we deserve defeat on performance so far, play like we did first half and we’d play until Saturday and not have a shot, but am hoping it improves

No complaints there, kiddy did very little going forward but we did absolutely nothing and they coasted it defensively and their 2-3 players attacking always offered more than us with 4-5-6 or 7 players in their half.

Game plan seemed to be endless hoofs forward in a wild hope one dropped to a player who could somehow run past 4-5 players to shoot, no teamwork or effort at all and in the usual infuriating way most managers do……Mahon sat there waiting endlessly until the 76th minute to finally conceed it was never working when bloody obvious after 30 minutes.

Would have been an injustice if we grabbed something but we didn’t, maybe tired after the weekend, but we were devastated I’d of anything. Will have to go back to the 4-3-3 it’s only way we can play and just suffer them games it doesn’t work.

Well we did that the hard way. Thought we were deserving of the lead at half time but was frustrating that we just sat deeper and deeper second half. Morgan-Smith was looking exhausted and wouldn't have minded seeing a sub or two a little earlier.

Devine was exceptional for us tonight, the right back couldn't handle him and wasn't getting much help from the right winger.

A month or two ago we'd have lost that. Now unbeaten in 6, feels like we might be turning a corner.

Curzon seemed very wasteful with their chances and were trying to force it too much as the game went on, way too many overhit passes forward and Spencer seemed to be getting frustrated with the lack of service. Saying that, I think we were maybe lucky Curzon didn't get a penalty first half for handball. Albeit we should have had one second half when the defender went through the back of Morgan-Smith.
