City’s away record has been frankly superb this season, and is the main reason they are where they are in the league, the only problems they have with away games is getting there on time! City could go top with a win, which would mean little, but be a nice confidence boost.

ChesterCity sorry to have to break the news but not tonight you’ll be on the wrong end of a trouncing
Doesn’t that happen quite often, play them in the league and cup in quick succession.
yes I bet 50/50 of the time, and considering 92/1 odds that makes it quite often Dazza
Unbeaten away run went tonight but wait until Saturday revenge is sweet!
Left to rue the early missed chances, if we had scored first I think their heads would have dropped and another away win would have been on the cards, but sadly not to be.
We have got used to better than this of late sadly, back to normal.
