Witton Albion V Chester FC MATCH THREAD

Have you ever got a prediction right Rio?

They are not predictions, just how many Chester will win by, and unfortunately that is seen less than hen's teeth.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I'm not knocking him or picking on him. I'm just trying to point out that Chester don't win every game as he always predicts.

Wortley you should be careful what you accuse people of. It's called banter.

Are you going tonight RIO?

No, but I'll be there SATURDAY.

1-0 akintunde

Nine tralist that's a lot hope its not a waste of time?

Don't the trialists get letters any more? A shot by 'Trialist' could be any one of six players on the pitch for us now!

Quite enjoyed that. Akintunde was really lively up front and should have scored a few more. Dawson and Jones also good.

Pick of the bunch was one of our trialists though, wearing number 2. Played right back first half and then centre mid in the second. Got a big clap when he went off.

Made a last minute decision to go tonight and Im glad I did. First halfs XI, were indeed the more experienced bunch, pick of them, Dawson again. Lucas served Akintunde up with a first half hatrick, shame akky only had the composure to convert on of the three chances. Must do better at one on ones, didn't look like he believed he was going to score, can't pass those up in the national league. Bell didn't make an impression on the game, very much fourth choice striker, Nathan brown might push down to fifth. Nice to Shaw back but not a right mid, looked a bit tubby, and off pace.

Now the good bit, second half. Our youth products made up most of the team, with a rest being trialists. One in particular, smallish CM, who I mistook for Turnbull for sometime, which in itself is of great credit. Shame, as we don't need another CM, he will get pick up. Other trialist mention was the CM that played alongside him, but played RB in first half. Looked decent, whether that's good enough against better opponents is hard to tell. Brown/Waters put in great displays yet again, both looking like younger and even smaller Craig Mahon's. Then there's Hughes, familiar name, same potential. Didn't see the Bala game, only heard of his exploits. The lads has something, the way he moves combined with his stature, makes him one to look out for in the not too distant future.

So all in all, a nice evening. Plus I've always liked Witton

Should we be concerned that in pretty much every game so far it's the youth team and trialists that are outperforming the first team?

Is that the black lad that played RB at Bala?

Hope it's not the same lad that played RB at Alty. Made some bad mistakes, pretty small build so didn't win much in the air and was pushed off the ball easily.
