Chester

[RoamingBull]

So will we be knocked off the perch at the weekend?
And will that be last we see of it.

Was hoping we’d be giving some new legs a run out but very quiet.
Obviously AB thinks we’ve enough.

3-1 Chester

I was hoping the friendly against Donny might have produced something in the way of fresh faces but it hardly merited a mention at our end. “All the squad were involved” was all we got.
Did Carlton play? Is he fit? Did we look at any triallists? Were we checking out Donny fringe players for loan? Did we try different tactics?
Answers to any/all of these questions would have been appreciated.

I hope I am wrong, however with the form over the last few weeks I have little faith that we will come away with all 3 points at Chester.

[lesgeo]

They may have a freak bad day.

[cassidystash]

Possibly – we have plenty.

2-1 Chester

[Awaywego]

Ever hopeful, 3-0 win to scunny.

[Ironawe]

As ever would love a win but I feel the players are getting demotivated in the system 2-0 to Chester.

[PhilAnders]

Without a change in the system or personne, Chester will prove to strong for us on Saturday.2 or 3-0. We will not be top of the table at 5pm!

[Sharp_Shooter24]

I’m expecting a win for Chester based on current form, however as much as I hate this system away from home and against the better teams it has yielded some positive results so maybe we escape with a draw

How can you say this with such conviction? Unless Chester win by a four goal margin we can lose and still be top come the end of the day.

[Ironawe]

Probably the other teams around us winning, two, maybe 3 potential table toppers

Taking goal difference in or out of the equation as well as Chester,Chorley who are away at Alfreton, Curzon and Hereford who play each other could also go top come 5pm Saturday.

Assuming AB plays his favoured formation im hoping for another surprise Iron performance ala Brackley just worried where the goals will come from as it appears we are very tame as an attacking force recently.

We may well nick a goal but IMO Chester will do us 2-1

Carlton didn’t play. No trialists and played the same formation. drew 1-1. Simply was set up to give the slightly undercooked ” or rare ” players some game time. No mention of players coming in either. Striker short and still need a capable CM player.

The person to solve the midfield out would be Beestin, but we can’t move him from up top due to a lack of striking options.

Seals 2-0 Iron

We can’t score.
They’ll be on it!

[Cliff Byrne’s Right Peg]

Be nice to turn them over as never seen such a small fanbase with such delusions of grandeur.

Struggling to predict anything other than defeat though: 2-0

With you on this one, some of their fans tweets are cringeworthy. Would love us to bring them back down to planet earth but sadly can’t see it. 2-1 Chester.

[Rene Artois]

Has the 500 ticket allocation sold out?

[Rene Artois]

Paddy Power have us as slight favourites to win:

Chester 64/40
Draw 96/40
Scunthorpe 55/40

[Northumbiron]

I’ll take a draw now!

A draw might be deemed a success, whereas a defeat might bring changes.
Draws don’t win you the league and we all saw what happened with Wilcox 14 draws in his unbeaten run, should have walked that league luckily in that league 3 were automatically promoted.
Win or bust!

[ironfromafar]

Such is my confidence i would fly home and show my arse in Wilsons Chippy frod Rd winda for a win at Chester.
i remain 2-1 to the Seels as we just couldnt hit a pigs arse with a shovel ATMO

[another fed up fan]

Safe trip to all bring it home 2-1 Iron

[lesgeo]

Is Wilson’s still open?
I’ve driven past on several lunchtimes and it hasn’t been.

[Awaywego]

Still open Les.

[lesgeo]

Cheers. Used to go there in the 60s and 70s.

[iron64]

Team today showing no imagination from Butler, seems he has fixed views on his players as well as formation. Well they better deliver on his blind loyalty! i don’t see it, all to comfy for me.
