Exactly.

And really when you say... To be fair..... You are actually saying, to be factually correct.
I could copy that to every thread at the moment. There are so many made up stats and facts just posted to back up a reactive opinion.

Totally agree. While I do think Chesters position is untenable beyond 2021 I don’t need to repeatedly stretch the truth to get my point across with it. I’ve already made my own mind up that changes are needed but it’s much easier if i try to support the current regime while they’re here trying to turn things around.

To be fair most opinions on Chester have had a long time to ferment, they're hardly reactive!!

What planet does Chester live on because apparently our new scrum half is playing better due to the fact that we have Woods playing again. He may be but unfortunately it does not change the fact that we continue to lose.
I wonder if a question regarding Chester will be allowed tomorrow or will they be filtered out in favour of something more comfortable. I know what you are going to say but no I am not going to ask anything because I have found that when questions are pre submitted they tend to be heavily filtered and it does not allow any follow up.

Have to agree there, I’ve not given up yet but it’s definitely not knee jerk reactions by most, if only it was.

I’ll say it again sport is not a business as the proposed football super league has just discovers, it’s mainly opinions and emotions. So you have to accept people will get reactive very quickly and our case is hardly quick I’m afraid.

Just watching he game where we battered hull in 2018.

We really do miss a hooker who does the basics well like Randel. Don’t think we ever replaced him. Efficient distribution, knew when to run and steal the yards, strong in D and a good step out prior to a pass to put players on the front foot. With these new 6 again rules and the pace of the game speeding up I can’t imagine how successful a 9 like Randell could have been.

What are these made up stats and facts? I bet you would struggle to name one.

In terms of been reactive, of course these opinions are reactive, that's not to say they are knee jerk, they are reactive to 3 years of poor results and poor performances but they are also proactive in terms of thinking about the clubs future and how we can make things better, although some opinions may differ, I`m not sure why anyone on here wouldn`t want the best for the club, some posters see Chester as the problem, some don`t it`s as simple as that.

For me Battye was our best player by the way when he first come in, you can accuse that of been a false fact but it`s just an opinion, he didn`t have much to compete with at the time in terms of performances though and he was a big reason in the upturn in performances IMO. I don`t though think it`s fair to say he hasn`t been up to standard, he has just returned from injury and I think he will regain his previous form, he is that type of player that never really has a bad game imo.

I personally think this can be all sorted if we donate some Moroccan hash to the club.

JK used to say you can never have too many pivot players and I've always believed that. You need grafters, speed, size utility but none are any good without brains.

All the above can in an injury situation be replaced in the short term by youngsters or loan players, all except the pivots.

Youngsters can't replace an experienced playmaker whilst other teams rarely have pivots of any quality to loan out.

It is our pivots who have copped more injuries than you'd expect over the last two years, most notably in the hooking role. So maybe instead of signing more back rowers, we should perhaps have signed another hooker, maybe though I'm not convinced if I'm honest it would have saved us this poor start.

So let's be honest instead of looking for scapegoats we have really been crippled by injuries, any fair-minded person can see that. Could CC have handled it better? Maybe but nobody on here knows the true story and frankly I wish the touchline coached would just shut up for a while. Be disappointed, want CC sacked if you must but don't make out you know better because you don't. Some of you sound like those prats who read the papers and claim how to win a war without ever having worn a uniform let alone fought a war.

So for the record

K Wood, just finding form after injury
J Wood injured after 2 games
Miller out after game 4
Hampshire out after game 4
Mason fit for now

That's three of your five main pivots out and some of you don't think that affects a small club like ours? Get a grip.

So would sacking CC turn it around, might, might not. Is CC a great coach, not looking good at present I'll accept? Has he suffered some grievous blows, definitely and ones that would stuff most coaches?

Stop moaning and start supporting, who knows it might actually help. Obviously, that won't apply to a few on here who purely wish to moan so I wouldn't want to stop them enjoying the thing in life that brings them the most joy. :ROCKS:
