York's attempt to get back to the Conference League suffered a blow when they were well beaten by a Chorley side who had not won since the opening day of the season. Having watched them today it might take City some time to regain their conference status as they were pretty woeful today in fact as I walked back to the car after the game the displeasure of the travelling support could be heard.
Having earwiggewd all afternoon it sounds like Gary Mills is on borrowed time at Bootham Crescent and this result can only have pushed him closer to the door marked exit.
Wasn't a pretty game to watch as both sides sent the ball skywards on a regular basis. In the early stages both sides looked slightly suspect especially when Teague nearly sliced the ball over his own keeper. Up front for York was Jon The Beast Parkin who in truth was fed some dreadful passes chasing after passes is not the big man's forte.
After one particular pass Parkin berated the fact it was not within 20 yards of him, within a minute he would probably have been complaining even more as some shambolic City defending let Wilson slot into an unguarded net from about 12 yards.
York rallied slightly with Parkin heading just wide and another header being well saved by Urwin but City were two down just before the break, a long diagonal ball from the left over Bencherif whon was waiting for offside no flag one bounce of the ball and Wilson blasted home his second.
Haughton on his debut for the home side was unlucky not to make it three with a shot from 18 yards that just went narrowly wide.
Second half was scrappy but Chorley looked the more likely of the two sides O'Keefe being denied after a well worked corner his shot from 20 yards was well saved by Worsnop, and he was unlucky after a fine move down the right which ended up being hacked to safety by a City defender. Walker the Chorley substitute was also unlucky with a 40 yards snap shot which narrowly cleared the bar.
City's fans showed their derision when a free kick from a useful position ended up amongst the away support, a header from Bencherif which went wide and another header from Parkin which was well saved by Urwen were the sum of their efforts in the second half.
Sad times for the former league club, finally it's funny how you see a game thought Heslop was far and away City's best player in the first half City fans were delighted when he was substituted in the second.
