Match Reaction

Mike Newell told reporters after the game ‘It will be impossible for Chester to turn it around now, bearing in mind the massive goal difference.

But the whole Bournemouth game changed on the sending off of Dan Boshell right on the stroke of half-time.

Dan’s was a fair tackle and the Bournemouth lad had Joe Widdowson by the throat before the referee saw Joe pushing him off.

It was, of course, impossible with nine men.

The whole dressing room is flat. The lads have given everything for the past five or six weeks. But it doesn’t matter now. Chester are not going to turn it around and we will beat Macclesfield anyway.’
