While the action on the pitch gave us little to mull over on Saturday there has been plenty going on following Chester FC 's trip to Wrexham.
Blues boss Jon McCarthy has spoken out on his frustration at former Chester midfielder John Rooney not being shown his marching orders for a horror challenge on Craig Mahon at the weekend, escaping with just a yellow card.
"I think it was a sending off," said McCarthy.
"We've seen him do it for us in the past and now we've seen him do it for someone else.
"It would have massively change the game and they had their other midfielder on a yellow card. From that point of view there is some frustration.
"I think the world of John and people should remember what he did for Chester Football Club. I haven't got a really nasty injury to Craig Mahon and I haven't lost a player from it so I will accept it. That is just what happened."
Macca on Sam Hughes, why he left him out and his role as a future captain
Blues boss McCarthy had a tough call to make on Saturday.
Young defender Sam Hughes had been excellent in the previous two games at the heart of defence, scoring the winning goal at home to Braintree Town.
But he was dropped to the bench in favour of Blaine Hudson on Saturday with McCarthy going with the former Wrexham man in a bid to add more experience to the Chester defence.
Said the Blues boss: "I had big decisions to make. The Sam Hughes decision, I made that decision. I know that can backfire on me. Sam Hughes hasn't done anything wrong. If I would have had a more experienced defender or goalkeeper available then I would have played Sam Hughes but I had a defender available who has played in six derby matches and has 200 appearances.
"But please be certain what we think about Sam Hughes, we think a lot of him. This time last year he wasn't anywhere near the first team, he was on loan at Witton.
"I think he'll be captaining this side and scoring the winning goal in a Wrexham derby match at some point in the future. Trust me with his development."
Mills under pressure after draw
Things aren't looking to rosy for Gary Mills at Wrexham at the moment.
Boos rang out at the Racecourse following the draw with Chester and Dragons fans vented their frustrations at the manager whose side have woefully under performed so far this season.
And in true Mills fashion, he came out swinging when quizzed by the press after the game.
"I don’t know what you want me to keep saying, every week you keep asking me the same question," the manager told the Daily Post.
"I am a football manager and I love my job, I am enjoying working here at Wrexham Football Club and I will continue to do that.
"I have walked in here (the press room) and you all look so miserable, it was unbelievable. Saturday afternoon, a game of football, a local derby, that is why I have been in the game all my life and I will continue to be.
"And if Wrexham Football Club want me as their manager then great, if they don’t then I move on because I have moved on before either by choice or not."
Fans thanked for 'good-natured co-operation'
There were no arrests at the derby clash on Saturday, fuelling hope that the draconian 'bubble' restrictions will be lifted in the not too distant future.
North Wales Police took to Twitter following Saturday's game to thank both sets of fans for their behaviour before, during and after the clash.
