Key Events
A lifeline
Durrell’s ball finds Shaw in acres of space and he lashes home from eight yards.
Barrow comfortable
Blues offering very little here going forward. Game is petering out. It’s been poor.
Well held
Durrell hits a powerful first time cross from the right looking for Alabi but Flatt gathers under pressure.
Not great
Williams has space to get a shot away that squirms under Lynch’s body at the near post and trickles over the line. A bit of a howler.
Wasted chance
Blues break quickly and the ball eventually breaks to Durrell whose volley is charged down by Diarra.
Great save
Hannah sees a 45-yard effort tipped over by Lynch after he tried to catch him off his line.
Blues struggling to make an impact
Blues can’t make inroads into the Barrow defence at present. Alabi and Richards not seeing much of the ball.
Not a great start
The Blues have made a sluggish start to the second half here. Not linking up well and a lot of aimless high balls. Need to find their rhythm again.
Half time: Chester 0 Barrow 1
Blues went behind early but haven’t played badly. Referee and some embarrassing Barrow tactics are ruining this, though.
