Was at a freezing cold Victoria Park yesterday to watch our next opponents do a smash and grab job on Pools.
Chester won 2-0 with a breakaway goal in each half, but if they had 35% possession that’s generous.
They’ve got a well organised defence with two tall CBS (Williams & Burke) who win everything in the air, and their CF Charlie Caton is very quick and has an excellent first touch.
Elliot Whitehouse scored their first. He’s still jogging along in midfield but does the break up of play bit well.
The good news for us was that a couple of players hobbled off with injuries late on, whereas we’ve had a fortnight to rest up.
They are beatable but we’ll have to play through them. Lumping balls up to Whitehall and Bennett won’t work on yesterday’s showing.
