I think McCall's lack of recent experience at this level has let him down in terms of recruitment.

That is clearly the key issue, and one what must be presumed a matter of worry to the club.

We lack a real manager, who can teach these players how to play nitty, grotty football. Yes, had we been playing in the Championship, McCall could have put some of his strategies and tactics he learnt from Warnock into practice, but it must be assumed he has come into this job unprepared for the challenges basement football brings.

I just hope he learns from, and can rectify, his mistakes.

The silliest thing he has done was to say that is we didn't get promoted he would consider himself to have failed, too many people got way too carried away over the summer - you can't turn around a decline like the one we've suffered in a couple of weeks, legendary ex player or not.

Some of the recruitment over the summer was baffling. I appreciate at the time the finances were sorted a lot of good players at this level would already have been attached, but we seemed determined to recruit a team of midgets with two target men up front. So there's no presence in midfield, which is essential at this level. Frankly, it's alright looking good on the ball but that alone won't get you out of this division other than downwards.

Living in the City and attending the odd game, I think Chester are a good each way bet at 40/1 and Lowndes will be the top goalscorer.

Butler
Partridge
Ellison
Grant
Murphy
Lowndes

are just a few of the great signings Williamson has made.

All y'all should have listened.

Enjoy your win tomorrow night. I won't be there as I can't cope with any more of that punishment this week. We have to come good eventually though, it's usually when I'm not there

Typical City really, play crap against crap then turn it on against the team who had the best away record in the country.

I thought we were fairly impressive for long periods tonight but, as ever, the question is whether we can back it up.

I miss 2 home games this season, and we win them both

I'll be missing on Saturday too, so another win is on the cards!

Another win for the millers

It's also typical City, having gone two goals up in the 89th minute, to find a way to create a bit more drama at the end. Six points off the relegation places, things are looking up.
