Chester manager Mark Wright has complained about the lack of forward options in his squad.
The often controversial manager saw both Jon Walters and Gregg Blundell sold in the January transfer window with Forest Green's Alex Meechan and Peterboro's Simon Yeo coming in. The club have just three experienced forwards, plus youth product Chris Holroyd.
Wright told the local press: "We sold our two top scorers and we have not replaced them. I don't want to be too down on the people we have up front, but you can't sell your best players and improve your side.
"With the injuries we have I can't keep pulling rabbits out of hats. I know the board are trying to get players in for me, but how can you bring players in at this stage of the season, it's impossible to do."
Wright has also seen Roberto Martinez, their third top scorer this season, move to Swansea leaving defender Ashley Westwood as the club's top scorer on three league goals. The club has also had to offload strikers Jermain McSporran and Drewe Broughton in order to remain under the squad budgeting rules, leaving them with four forwards that have scored just two goals in the league for them this season. By comparison, the Bulls have five players with three or more league goals this season.
