Fair play to County, there's more away fans than home fans, decent atmosphere too.

I’m cheering us on from Protaras, Cyprus. Shame there’s no Seals Live, so would appreciate any reports on here later on.

Yeah, we've barely been out of our half. A few decent saves from Mason so far, he seems to prefer the long ball than passing it out the back. Our trialist is number 5 playing centre back (Burke is wearing 3). I think we're playing a 532, but its essentially a 550 sat back in our half so far. |

3-0 to County now, first 2 seemed like soft goals, the 3rd was a good long ranger.
We did have the ball in the net earlier ourselves, but it was offside.

I know Cal said a few games would be us working on our out possession shape but always feel like those games may as well be behind closed doors. Similar to Bolton at home last season where we didn't have a kick barring a rare Taylor worldie!
1200 attendance today tho so that should boost the coffers at least

A few former Chester players on the pitch for County. Touray played first half, Okeke at right back, and Sam Hughes has come on 2nd half

Better 2nd half with some of the new signings coming on. Caton squeezing the ball past the keeper from a Glendon for our 1st, and a great volley from Matty Williams for the 2nd (all this talk of Burke as an emergency forward, that was a striker's finish from Williams)

Glendon almost equalised in stoppage time, but scuffed his shot in front of goal after good work from Heywood then Turner

Poor first half where we showed very little going forward, although a little unfortunate to be 3-0 down.
Much improved second half with Hancox impressing and we could have nicked a draw right at the end.
Still think we’re lacking a big centre forward who can hold the ball up and win some headers.

Enjoyed the second half with the stronger team out on the pitch, Hancox and Turner impressed me.
Great goal from Matty Williams.

Do we know anything about the triallists?

Do we know anything about the triallists? We only played one and I don't think we will see him again. |

I liked Hancox today - feisty, vocal and skilful.

Nice to see Caton on the scoresheet.

Nice to see Caton on the scoresheet. I thought he did well when he came on we also looked far more solid with Williams and Burke in the back four rather than Roberts and trialist in the first half. |
