I thought Grant did well, he was very comfortable on the ball and kept it until somebody was in a position to recieve it from him. He also set up Rommy with a golden chance early on.

Stanley did well and were in control of the game until Chester scored, then the confidence just evaporated, as it has on many occasions after we concede. (I have noticed at throw-ins, when we are on top everybody wants the ball, but when we are down nobody goes near for fear of getting the ball).

The Chester defenders are solid and strong, they cut out 90% of crosses, corners and free kicks.
Their number 21 was a donkey, was twice the size and weight of Jay Harris but picked on Jay throughout the game. it was good to see Jay put the donkey on the floor late on.

Our new keeper is a bit of a dracula, but stopped at least 3 goals, also very composed with the ball at his feet, he nearly gave me a heart attack on a couple of occasions, whilst waiting to pass on the ball, with a Chester forward bearing down on him.
