HT: Aldershot Town 1 Chester 0

If Chester are to get anything from this game then they need to show something in the second half. Rescued by the woodwork on three occasions before the goal the Blues have been well off the pace. Could have been three or four in truth.

Second best

Chester very much second best here at the moment. Taylor twists and turns in Blues area but can’t find anyone with byline cross. Chester hardly getting past halfway line.
