Just back from the game.
First up Curzon were not very good, in fact they were poor.
First half I thought was tough with the wind and a the ball bouncing very high. The ref made a very clear point to the defenders about pushing at the corner so they really cannot complain about what was a fair penalty. Very pleased not to go in losing cos we fully deserved to be level at half time.
Second half was bitty, I was stood behind the goal and it didn't take long for their keeper to start losing his concentration - he looked ok to me but the mental side of the game was beyond him this afternoon. He was telling me that CAFC put out their second team, and that we should look forward to the Evo-Stik. He really let himself down getting involved with a fat lad like me.
The second pen was fair too and the celebration for their equaliser was almost silent.
Pleased with the win, very happy indeed but dear god we didn't have to beat much today. If anybody thinks that performance is enough to get us up next year - forget it.
Chips were cold too.
If i were the Chairman who had overseen there club being relegated twice in successive seasons and was aware of people who had the wherewithal to take the club forward I would be gone in a heartbeat.
Perhaps one of the reasons he is sticking around is maybe he is hopeful of some sort of recognition for his work in overseeing the CSH getting off the ground in the form of an award (MBE) etc ...
Just a thought ........
Re Letsby's remark, I don't think that is the case. For one thing, Alan Ainsley would see through that. I do think that all players on the injury list would play if they could - no player likes being injured and a lot of the players we have out would walk though fire for this club - Tom Hannigan, Sean Miller and Nicky Clee to name but three. Nicky joined us on the terraces yesterday, nice to see as a fan.I have to say I've seen absolutely nothing to suggest Miller and especially Hannigan would walk through fire for this club. You're making Miller sound like the second-coming of George Best whereas I would describe him as the best of an awfully bad bunch. The only difference he'd have made if he'd been playing is that he might have scored a handful of spectacular consolation goals. I'm pretty sure there will be a mutual tearing up of Hannigan's contract at the end of the season.
We have had more than our fair share of injuries this season, things would be very different with Sean Miller playing all the way through and with Tom. we missed Nicky yesterday with his creativity, with him playing I think we would have won the game. But imagine how our results would have turned if we had had Sean playing though the season so far, one of my players of the season so far, but for his absence at a crucial stage of the season.
The saddest thing about all of this is the divisions created amongst the fans. I'm no fan of the proposed walkout but I respect everyone's opinion and right to peacefully protest. I just hope we can all regroup and get behind the team and the club soon, under whatever leadership there may be.

1st it was heathcote out,then sinnot out,then it was Tolson out,then Young,then Harvey now its Buzz and his management team and Rowley.I think it needs to stop and people get behind the club.We have not been relegated yet(i know its going to happen sadly)but its time to stand together and build for the future.
