The Blues boss was delighted with his sides’ 2-1 victory against Telford, who could have pasted Chester if the result went their way.
“It was a good performance, fantastic result and gives us that momentum going forward”.
Chester dominated early on however, they conceded to Amari Morgan-Smith inside 20 minutes. Johnson had warned the team about Telford’s set-piece prowess.
“They scored against the run of play. We were fuming that they scored from a set piece because we knew how dangerous they would be”.
Anthony Dudley gave the Seals the lead in the second half, after Akwasi Asante equalised with his fifth in three matches.
Asante was substituted due to injury in the second half; however, Johnson believes he will be fit for the next match on Boxing day.
“When you’ve got a player, who has scored that many goals in that minutes and he is coming off injured everyone takes a deep breath. He has taken a bang on the back of his knee to his tendons and hopefully he will be fine.”
The victory moves Chester six points ahead of Telford and Johnson believes they are a tough side.
““Its cliché about six pointers. But it put a nice gap between us. I think they are a good side, even with 10 men in the last 10 minutes they were pushing and threatening. It was about getting the three points and the job done”.
Chester due to results elsewhere have moved up to third.
They travel to Southport on Boxing Day and despite the hectic fixture list, Johnson is a fan of the Christmas period.
“I love it. If you add the FC (United of Manchester) game, we have five games in 14 days. That is what you want when you have momentum to play every day if you can”.
The Blues will be looking for revenge on Boxing day after Southport knocked them out of the FA Trophy.
