Consistently crap for us. Didn’t need him, resource should have been put into a left back apparently Chester can play LB, I wouldn’t be against him at LB and Collins in a centre back, Slim pickings I realise

I would honestly play Lindsay over him. He is certainly limited in technique but at least can head a fucking ball!

Why was he marking Asombaloga who is 2m taller than him? That's game plan stuff. Ap[art from that he was worse than awful. Why is he favoured over Collins? Poor management. thats exactly what I don’t get. Last week he needed Nathan Collins for his height, this week vs a Warnock team Collins gets dropped and we have the 5 foot 10 Chester in and CH

Available on a free apparently. I’d say he is overpriced. Imagine him and Brunt as the left side of a back 4 opening day next season... And we wonder why relegation beckons

I like MON and he has got more things right than wrong so far and has given us a fighting chance that we would all of taken when he was appointed. Cannot defend the signing of Chester tho, I expect we will be paying a hefty weekly wage for this clown whether it's the full wack or a % but he was a signing we simply didnt need. Coach and work on both Collins or Lindsay as neither are worse than this has been!! But in January given the choice of Chester or an actual proper fuckin left back. It should have been the left back 100 times out of 100. How many professional managers can keep looking at our squad and still not purchase or develop a left back. It's quite staggering and something opponents exploit game after fuckin game!!

Letting our best two players go out on loan has not helped especially with the loss of Joe Allen, LB was a priority everyone knew that so we signed a nobody midfielder from Blackpool and a useless CB on loan nothing wrong with the process

Like most of the centre backs we have he’s just ok but prone to mistakes.
The worst thing about this is he’s a recent signing that mimics the mistakes of our past.

If we're talking about the 1st goal, it was Ashley Fletcher who overpowered him to score. Fletcher is around 6'2" and Chester is under 6 feet tall and it looked to me like a significant difference in stature.

The only center half of his size who i have ever deemed up to the job is Fabio Cannavaro, obviously Chester is some way off that level.
To be frank i was concerned about his height from the off but didn't imagine him to be quite so poor all round as he seems to be, awful today.

In fairness, they're virtually the same height... Really? (eats words) How was he so bad at defending that first goal? Because he's a crap defender.

Have I somehow time lapsed into a parallel universe where Stoke city in is ran by clowns, we only sign out of contract geriatrics who are considered "good value" and Tony scholes had some kind of mafia control over the whole setup?
It just feels way off what was happening to my "well run club" not so long ago.

Collins is our best defender on the books & can't get a game. Shawcross is sadly over the hill. Batth is too immobile. Indi is not bothered. Tymon is a featherweight, Smith is mediocre and Chester is a liability. Ward is slower than a corpse. A real shit show it has to be said! Very well put.

I agree it's Hobson choice but Baath and Chester can seemingly be as shit as they like and not be dropped. It does no good to persist in the face of their combined incompetence.

Yet another "hopeful" signing. It was hoped that he'd bring leadership, quality and experience.
Do we ever sign a player who's actually on form, who comes in and immediately improves the team?

Our centre halves would look better if they didn't persist in trying to play out from the back,they are not good enough footballers to do that.The opposition push up,close us down and we regularly lose the ball. Just concentrate on keeping the ball away from our goal and although not pretty hoof it up the field.

It was noticeable Boro did push up on us and without Allen dropping deep and picking up the ball there we looked bereft of knowledge of what to do? I agree either someone does that effectively or play Vokes and hoof up.....difficult to do that though with only Campbell up front.
