'The badge on the front and the name on the back'
Connell Rawlinson will be letting his Chester players know what is expected
That Chester are in this position is quite something.
Only once this season have the Blues been higher than the sixth place they find themselves heading into the final game of a turbulent National League North campaign tomorrow.
That was at 5pm on the opening day of the season back on August 9 when they defeated Peterborough Sports 3-2 to sit fifth. After that, they sank to as low as 18th in November after a 1-1 home draw with Marine.
Patchy form raised them to mid-table, and while they always remained in touch with the top seven, even if the gap looked to be widening, the notion of a play-off push was seen to be too far fetched, for Chester hadn’t shown enough to suggest that they would put together a run of form that would propel them into the post-season shootout.
