After the match, Manager Mick Wadsworth told BBC Radio Merseyside: “Second half we played a lot better but in the first half we were hit and miss.
 
“They got a bit of a rocket at half time as I thought we could have been better. But they responded in a very positive way.
 
“We’ve got a lot of young players but it will get there.”

Chester City 2 – 0 Histon FC
(Roberts 44,
Chadwick 76)
 
Bottom club Chester finally record a win, six matches into the new season.
 
Histon did have the chance to take the lead, but Nathaniel Knight-Percival was denied by the woodwork.
 
Kevin Roberts then put City in front from a Neil Ashton corner, just a minute before half-time.
 
Nick Chadwick then made certain of all three points against fellow strugglers Histon a quarter hour from time.
 
A delighted Mick Wadsworth told BBC Radio Merseyside: “I think its great, it’s just good for everyone,
 
“It’s about time we did something which gives us a bit of cheer on a Saturday – we’ve been close a couple of times.”
 
Happy with his side’s defending, Wadsworth added: “At times I was really pleased as we played some clever and good football at times. We weren’t at our best on the ball but I think it’s difficult in a game like that.
 
“So I’m just delighted to win.”

Nick Chadwick got one back for Chester FC, in an ill-tempered final quarter which saw six bookings in twenty minutes.
 
Chester finished strongly, but both Michael Lea and Adam Kay saw their shots go over the bar.
 
Mick Wadsworth played all the first-team players that were available, saying after the match: “It’s my job to try and find players and to try and get something to make us better,
 
“We have to pick ourselves up and just keep fighting. That’s all we can do.”

He told BBC Radio Merseyside: “The way [the players] approach the games and the way they come into work every day is fantastic and they get a lot of credit,
 
“It’s a long hard road and we haven’t had a lot of things going for us but all that has gone now. We are where we are and we have just go to fight.
 
“That’s what I’ll do and that’s what we’ll do. The team will get better and it has got better.”

Chester City Blue Square Premier News Update

Following the eventual start to their 2009-2010 Blue Square Premier campaign, Chester City move on from two defeats with more moves to shore up the squad. 

With the search for new players put on hold during the turbulent weeks while the Conference and the FA sorted out the Blues’ affiliation, Friday 21st August saw Manager Mick Wadsworth swoop for three loan signings.

Chester City FC  have signed Burnley teenagers Adam Kay and Chris Lynch, as well as Oldham’s Lewis Alessandra.

Midfielder Kay, 19, and defender Lynch, 18, have both joined Chester on loan until January, with Wadsworth agreeing an initial month-long deal with forward Alessandra, 20.

The Oldham player had been a target pre-season, but any move to the Deva Stadium had to be put on hold when City’s future was placed in doubt. “We had Lewis, then we lost him,” said Wadsworth. “Now we’ve got him back for at least a month.”

“And Owen Coyle at Burnley has been very helpful by allowing us to take Chris Lynch, a centre-back, and Adam Kay, a really talented midfielder.
“We’ll have a look at those and see how they do.”

Experienced striker Greg Blundell began training with the squad this week and, once his signing has been completed, will bring the number of new players to nine since Wadsworth joined in July. South American Fabian Yantorno is also expected to begin training soon.

Luton Town v Chester City FC: Blue Square Premier Result

Saturday 22nd August 2009



Luton Town 0 – 0 Chester City


Chester’s first clean sheet since April earned them their first point in this season’s Blue Square Premier in a match they may have well won.

Luton, who came down from League 2 alongside Chester City this year, had so far picked up 10 points out of a maximum 12 from their opening four matches, while their visitors had conceded eight goals in two games.

All three of Mick Wadsworth’s recent loan signings played, with Chris Lynch playing particularly well. City outplayed the Hatters for a great deal of the game, and certainly looked the most likely to score, with Nick Chadwick forcing two saves from keeper Mark Tyler, as well as hitting the bar with a header.

Luton Town’s unhappy fans booed the home team off at the final whistle. 


Chester City FC: played 3, drawn 1, lost 2, GD -6, position 24th, points -24

Chester City’s next game is on Saturday 28th August, against Mansfield Town at Deva.
