Joint 6th with an injury hit squad. We’re doing alright.

Up the Trin

Next week's fixtures suggest the bottom 3 and Huddersfield will all lose so to beat Hull will stabilise our position and leave looking more positive. It's a big ask after Hull have tanked it again today and they usually get a response following a poor result but is we can double up on them this could be a very important round for us.

That's what she said

I’ve always been in the Chester in camp because after two excellent seasons can appreciate how tough it was last season missing so much quality for large parts of the season.

Think Salford are finding that out now...and Ian Watson hasn’t become a bad coach overnight just shows how tough it is when so much quality is not available to you.

Us lesser fancied teams will give it a good go if we stay relatively injury free but will struggle otherwise.

Hats off to Chester and the lads today...we’re still going through adversity with two halfbacks out and Big Dave and Arona but the one big call he had to make he got spot on with Jowitt getting man of the match.

It was always going to be difficult early on because adding to the current injuries we’re having to bed in a new full back, loose forward and hooker plus we’re having to play our best left centre on the right wing...despite this...2 wins from the 4 fixtures we’ve had, after that poor start at HKR is an excellent return.

Well done CC long may it continue!

I am hear in peace .We got 3 things right against Salford effort , Commitment and defence + completing sets must have been in the 85 % plus in second half .Penalties against showed there was discipline in the team a big improvement from last week, so thank you Mr Chester.Glad Jowitt got man of match some of is kicking on the last play was very good the ball dropping just before Salfords line . The way he was getting over to stop the overlap in defenc was very good .He is work in progress but what a start

They clearly played for their coach today - that counts for something

No we clearly played to our ability and won. Stop making us out to be some basket case, we have a good coach and a good squad all be it a depleted one.

If we are ever to win anything it’s times like this when it will begin.

Utter rubbish, they won because they respected possession and cut out the number of penalties, this gave us more ball and more energy even an expert in doomology like you must understand that basic principle. We failed miserably at HKR and lost the plot at Cas.

Seen far too many false dawns to get carried away with the give Chester the keys to the city brigade .i need to see a performance like that on a more regular basis ,not wins but performances. Half our trouble is not our ability as individuals, they have it in bucketfuls, it’s getting them all Working as a unit, and that’s where the coach earns his coin.we won that game yesterday on effort and determination ,set moves as far as I could tell were few and far between .That only gets you so far iN a game . Not for one minute am I saying Chester isn’t a good coach, we’ve had some cracking wins under him , and a few heady table positions over the last few seasons .Has this backroom Staff got what it takes to take this team to the next level ,I’m positive the players are ready .
