Following yesterday's physically and mentally demanding cross -border clash with Chester City Chester City or City of Chester may mean: Places
"It's going to be a tough game because they are a decent team, and we'll start thinking about that game from now on," he said. "We need to get the recovery right and the preparation, but half the battle is getting the players up for another battle. "Mentally that can take it out of you so we'll have a look at everyone tomorrow and see how they are. "Hopefully we'll go into the Kidderminster game with some fresh legs." The Racecourse boss had no complaints about yesterday's 0-0 stalemate stale·mate n. 1. A situation in which further action is blocked; a deadlock. 2. A drawing position in chess in which the king, although not in check, can move only into check and no other piece can move. tr.v. , adding: "I thought the players gave me everything they've got. "They were trying and you have to give some credit to Chester. "We had two cleared off the line in the second half and we had a lot of corners, free kicks and throw-ins, but it was a typical derby game. "Neither team wanted to lose and it also means a lot to the supporters. While it's 0-0 you are always frightened of losing a goal from somewhere." Keen to focus on the positives from the game, Saunders said: "I thought we were probably the better team but possibly didn't do enough in terms of skill and finishing. "But it's another clean sheet - our sixth - and if we keep that up we'll be all right. "I didn't think Chester would keep us out for 90 minutes and that sooner or later we would get on top of them. But all credit to them, they kept at it. "It can be frustrating frus·trate tr.v. frus·trat·ed, frus·trat·ing, frus·trates 1. a.

"They just kept defending and they are probably delighted with the result. They didn't have to step out of position at 0-0, whereas at 1-0 they have to be a bit more adventurous. "The first goal is always important as is keeping clean sheets. As I said, we've had six and we'll get it right at the other end as well. It's great to be involved in derbies and there were 6,000 here today so it was a great occasion for all the fans.
