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.

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.

Gathered

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.

Waaay over

Vassell tries to find the top corner from 40 yards. A way off, I’m afraid.
