BLUES MATCH PREVIEW: CHESTER FC v HEREFORD

Monday, 4 September 2023 19:22

The Blues will continue to look to build some momentum as Hereford come to town on Tuesday night.

Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Spennymoor was a positive point despite conceding late on. Charlie Caton returned from injury to score within three minutes off the bench – which was a big positive for Calum McIntyre and his side.

It means the Blues are two unbeaten and in a position to look to rise up the table with back-to-back home fixtures.

THE OPPOSITION:

Paul Caddis was appointed in the summer at Hereford and made a promising start, an impressive point at King’s Lynn was followed by successive victories.

However, the Bulls come into this one on a run of four consecutive defeats, and have failed to score in each of the last three.
