as one of the sober fans who attended (coxy was in a bad way) I thought the second half was a big improvement.
BTW, i brought along a witton albion fan and his kid from work who after the game has pledged his allegance to all things Accy.

The bad - Branch. he rose for bohh goals to slowly for the the headers and was out muscled and won far to few aireal battles for a centre back - I really do think Branch is past it.

Harris - his passing was poor IMO and he was pretty useless when supporting any of the wing play in the first half. The lad offered little going forward or defensivly today.

Todd -his fitness for a substitute was terrible. His crossing left alot to be desired.

Positives
Mullin - worked his socks off. chased everything, ran onto balls, won most headers, all round team ethic was top notch and got lots of applause from a very passionate Cav in the stands.
Craney -second half with more space and time looked the Craney of old. His turn for the second goal was typical Craney, the guy was great.
Aswad - a totally different player from last week where the nerves must have gotten to him. His first goal was a beauty (good ball by Liam).

Whalley - MOM. He showed his potential and boy did he show it. His running, dribbling, crossing, and attempts to shoot caused Chester no end of problems. The guy was simply fantastic.
Coleman - despite his 5-3-2 failing in the first half to keep it tight, and the inability of phil edwards (not through lack of effort) to make the system work down the right (the left hand side was just as incapable at going forward), his tactical changes second half where spot on, and his persistence with Craney paid off.

Full marks to the football genius.

Stanley fans where brilliant today. As I have earlier said, we picked up 2 more fans today.
