Re: Chorley reaction
Nice of Hooper to show up this week
Decent crowd although 4000 down from this time last year and it was like a library at times A much needed three points but still in a worse position than we were when Keates took over I thought Chorley were decent going forward and it’ll be no walk in the park for the reverse fixture |

Re: Chorley reaction
If both teams had taken their chances it could have been 8-4 to us. We should have bossed the games after the second goal but we allowed them to get back at us, Other teams will not be as generous as Chorley, I can't see them surviving in this league on their display today, Their ex Wrexham players were woeful so we did well to let them go. Overall I am happy with the three points we do now have goal scorers so hopefully they will stay on target for the rest of the season. We have to take our chances even scoring three was not enough today.

Re: Chorley reaction
Bold changes by Keates to both personnel and formation.
Brought in were Summerfield, Hooper and Reid at right back - biggest surprise to me was Patrick being dropped to the bench. No sign of Wright in the squad (assume still ill) and Tollitt nowhere to be seen. Came out of the blocks fast - scored two early goals provided by Redmond and dispatched by Hooper. Chorley looked the worst team to come to the Racecourse - very poor and there for the taking - hardly got out of their half BUT I felt after we went 2 - 0 up we eased off and gradually Chorley were allowed to get their foot back into the game and emerged stronger as the first half progressed. A number of chances missed by Chorley and a poor intervention to concede a needless penalty just before half time could have proved costly - thankfully Holroyd's spot kick was poor and very weak allowing Lainton to save it to his right. Second half we should have killed the game off - however, despite numerous chances to put the game out of sight we didn't see them off until Patrick came on, scored and could easily have had another two. Some good attacking support play by Reid from the right back position who showed some good moves - but defensively was never under pressure. Eventually saw the game out after Massanka scored a late consolation. The Chorley centre back (6) Meppen - Walter was a cumbersome donkey and we could have turned him inside out if we had got the ball down on the floor and run at him more - but no use putting balls into the air with his height. Lesson of the day - they are poor but if allowed to play and given time on the ball they can hurt us. Attendance : 4,784 away support 224. ref Tom Reeves who dished out yellows to Summerfield, Hooper and another needless one to Pearson. 3 massive vital points but another mention has got to go to old boy Danny Wright who scored a 95th minute equalizer for Solihull at Chesterfield - his goal could prove as vital as Hooper's brace. All in all - 3 points, job done and it pulls us much closer to the pack above us especially free falling Dagenham & Torquay United who are dropping like a stone - both have to visit us - it's all to play for ! PS Rob Lainton needs to improve his kicking and keep the ball on the green thing - it's called a pitch. |
