Wright Praises Yeo

Chester manager Mark Wright has praised striker Simon Yeo after last night's game, and was satisfied with the point.

His goal was his first from open play since arriving at the club, and Wright was pleased with the quality: "I thought a draw was a fair result. The conditions didn't help either side, but it was a pleasure to see Simon Yeo scoring such a good goal. Simon is a predatory striker and when he gets into that sort of position you know there's only going to be one winner."

The lowly attendance last night of 1,842 was Chester's fifth sub-2000 gate of the season, and less than half the crowd that watched the reverse fixture at Edgar Street.

Meanwhile, Bulls legend Jimmy Harvey heaped praise on Danny Carey-Bertram after his first goal for Forest Green last night denied former club Cambridge all three points: "I was pleased to see Danny show the potential that I believe he has, and on another night he could have come away with a hat-trick. He knows their players and he maybe felt like he had something to prove."

Forest Green have, however, released former Bulls winger Danny Williams by mutual consent after playing 19 times since a summer move from Stevenage. The former Chesterfield trainee, who turns 26 on Friday, has played over 100 Conference games for three sides.
