Studs up and late from Gallagher there. Could have just been a booking on another day, but you give the ref the opportunity to give a red making a challenge like that.
We could have been two up in the first half, with Clarkie and Basile both having excellent chances. I'm of the opinion that the red card was the correct decision. Jake caught the player above the ankle with his studs and my immediate reaction was that he'd be off. Certainly if it had been the other way round, we'd have all screamed for a red. A silly challenge in that part of the pitch but if you take that aggression and will to win out of Jake you'll be left with half the player. He'll learn and we'll be better for it.
Basile - wow, I'm excited. It's been a long time since we had a left-footed, out and out left winger with pace. He stuck a couple of excellent crosses in so hopefully a sign of things to come. Ajala was also superb when he came on. Roscoe looked to be having a bit of an off-day - a rare occurrence but he's played a hell of a lot of games and picked up knocks. Credit to him, he kept plugging away and bagged a goal with a great first time finish. Defensively we looked solid and Butch never really had a meaningful save to make. Chester didn't look up to much but I hope they stay up as it's a great away trip.
Daisy signing a new 2 year deal is fantastic news. A real statement of intent and long may the Day era continue! COYW
Great performance. If we have Karagiannis and Ajala next season we should have some exciting options. Thought Rossco looked a bit rusty at the start but got better as the game went on.
Thought Sho-Silva worked his socks off and Taylor had a much better game today.
Didn't get a clear view of Jake's sending off but whatever, I hate seeing players run 25 yards to get in the refs face. In my opinion it should be treated as dissent and come with a yellow card.
Great news about Daysy - was starting to become a concern but it is apparent how much he loves managing the club when you talk to him.
Me and my son loved it We showed real bottle after that red card (which the ref won world record time to produce out of pocket) had gr8 day and even met and chat to few chester fans during and after game they were down in the dumps but seemed a good lot so i hope they stay up anyways gr8 news about jamie and looking forward already to next season well played wings and a good turnout to boot

Thought the red card was probably fair. Late, studs up. Seen him get away with a couple like that at other times in the season, but not today. He is an important player for the team, and I guess you have to accept the odd challenge like that with him. The ref was left in doubt what Gallagher and Clarke felt about the decision though.
Great performance with ten men. Two cracking goals. The first one very well taken by Karagiannis. The second one good work from Wakefield (sparking a mass exodus for the Chester fans).
Brilliant news about Jamie Day's contract extension.
