Staying away may be good?

Travelling to Chester on the National Express from London to watch the Blues play Millwall was a new 'exile' experience for me.

In the build up to FA Cup First Round day, even being stuck at Birmingham coach station for half an hour on a Friday evening seemed worth it.

The hope of creating a cup shock in beating Millwall's highly rated young side was always there, especially given City's two home victories over London clubs already this season.

Sadly, reality bit during the game itself. Despite unquestionable effort from the side, City never looked to be a threat and the collapse after the opening goal was alarming.

Davies' ineptitude as a manager was there for all to see, apparently deliberating over a substitution for over ten minutes, and finally making it when it was far too late.

Four victories in thirty-one games as Chester manager tells its own story. Such a record was also entirely predictable from a man woefully inequipped to manage a football league side.

These stats look good when compared with my own personal record of watching Chester this calendar year - 13 games attended, 0 wins seen.

It may be good for 'The Chief' Wayne Allison that I won't be in the crowd for Morecambe on Saturday.
