The Debrief: Chester continue to defy the odds as AFC Fylde get a Tom Davies masterclass
The Blues move into sixth in the National League North after 1-0 win over leaders
At what point do we try and talk ourselves down from the hope?
The football gods, for now at least, appear to have forgotten that this is Chester Football Club and that they are duty bound to kick our dreams and ambitions into touch whenever the opportunity arises.
Chester have played play-off chasers AFC Telford United, play-off certainties Macclesfield, and title favourites AFC Fylde in the last eight days. They have won every game from a run of fixtures that had looked season ending at one stage.
Quite how a team that had looked so far away from being play-off contenders a couple of months back have now managed to make their way into sixth spot, with the play-off qualification now in their hands, might be something of a mystery, but however it has been achieved, the belief and the spirit of this team is visible. You can feel it buzzing its way through the stands.
