Chester Chairman Stephen Vaughan has vented his fury at his club's poor form, again rounding on the underperforming side for the third time this season. Chester lie in 15th place, 10 points from the play-off spots, and Vaughan was quick to criticise after a disappointing 1-1 draw with Stockport:
"The first half against Stockport was totally unacceptable, our players looked like strangers and it made you wonder if they knew what system they were being asked to play. I honestly thought that my coaching staff utilised the first half of the game as a form of scouting session, trying to work out the formation that Stockport would be playing. We have only won three of our last 16 league matches and that is causing me concern, it just isn't good enough."
Torquay boss Ian Atkins is also frustrated at his side. Now in 20th place after failing to win any of their last ten league games, Atkins warned his players that they will be out of the club if things don't improve: "It is disappointing that some of my players go away from our plan in some matches. I think that situation comes up because some of them think they are better than they actually are. If that the attitude of any of the players then they are no part of this football club."
Lincoln have terminated the contract of defender Tom Kemp by mutual consent. He is the third player to be allowed to leave Sincil Bank in as many weeks. The former Derby teenager failed to trouble the first team, but spent three months at Tamworth earlier in the season and is expected to join them permanently in January.
Peterborough have signed full back Adam Smith on loan from Southern League side Kings Lynn until January with a view to a permanent deal. Hartlepool are giving trials to Norwegian pair Thomas Ulvestad and Mads-Cato Moldskred after the Norwegian league finished recently. Barnet have told goalkeeper Ross Flitney he can leave the club. The former Fulham man was one of the first signings for the club on their return to the league but has been second choice for most of this season.
