Tomaszk Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Not good at all. Fitness maybe to blame, but it wasn't like he was hobbling around. He was losing the ball playing hesitant passes and wandering forward using up his own space. Struggled as usual against long balls. Axel wasn't that good but he was comfortably the better centre half today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good enough Their first goal today came from some diabolical play from Chester where he strolled forwards with the ball at his feet then just rolled it straight to the Blues player in front of him. Nothing to do with fitness just really really poor play. He and Whelan and Hourihane gave the ball away cheaply so many times today, it was our poor passing which made them look half decent.

Killeen30 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Give away a few chances today. I hope his form picks up soon because we won’t always get away with making such simple mistakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 29, has over 300 professional appearances and over 30 caps for Wales, he should have enough confidence in his game and leadership skills to not need an 'experienced' player next to him, he's hardly a young centre half who is breaking through into the first team.

TrentVilla Posted November 25, 2018 Moderator Share Posted November 25, 2018 On the one hand, he was poor today particularly on and with the ball. On the other he clearly wasn’t 100% fit and hasn’t trained. On balance I’m pleased he was out there for us even if he gave us a few concerns I doubt we would have won without him. That said I wasn’t particularly impressed with him pre Terry and haven’t been post Terry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. But he does need one. Unfortunately. Our defense is still unbalanced. The strategy must be to aim for 100 % possession. That way we'll win games.

ramshackler Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) I am conflicted. I've long thought Chester is a decent CB but not great, he has several limitations and always makes me nervous when he has the ball at his feet and a striker is within ten metres However I can't help but love the guy, his passion for the shirt and professionalism as well as his celebrations when we score are great and can't help but think he really is a much loved captain in the dressing room. We will need to replace him in future if we go up, but as well as I understand this is necessary, it will be a sad day for me Edited November 25, 2018 by ramshackler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastie Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Needs to regain his form and quickly - a lot of careless errors this season from him . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 He looked like he was carrying an injury to me. Hope he heals up for the next game. Definitely below his usual standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I will let him off yesterday as obviously he has been injured but he has been really poor this season, to go as far and say possibly our worst outfield player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiltorken Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 He looked very nervous on the ball yesterday, like he didn't want to have it which is a problem when he's under orders to play it out from the back every time. A mitigating factor though I thought he was left stranded a few times when team mates didn't offer a simple option, Taylor in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 The only negative yesterday as I thought Chester was very poor. If he has a knock that might explain it. But we are so light at the back we need him fit until January at the very least! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
