Win at home and draw away and you won’t be far away, as the saying goes.
This was not a vintage performance from Chester, in fact, Blues boss Phil Parkinson was pretty damning about what was on show. But to be disappointed with a point away from home after a long trek to the North East, against a side that hadn’t lost at home since the start of last season, will be viewed as one gained in good time.
Hebburn Town are a good side. It’s easy to see why they have started the National League North season well, and with a winning mentality still in place on the back of last season’s promotion, the Trustmark Group Stadium will be a challenging place to earn points.
The pitch is uneven, the grass feeling long and not conducive to quick-paced football on the deck. The Hornets will use it to their advantage and they will do well between now and Christmas.
