Sorry, but how can stats be misleading - they're hard facts!
Either Chesterfield had 49% possession - or they didn't!
Either we had 6 shots on target to their 5 - or did we?
Yes! We deserved to win the game, but we were gifted - & I do mean gifted, 2 goals by their goalkeeper.
They came close to scoring a couple of times which, but for Chapman, could have gone in.
On another day their goalie could have played a blinder, instead of having a nightmare.
The difference between winning & losing can be wafer thin.
Chesterfield may well be a poor side, but you've got to give them credit for not giving up, even after going 3-0 down, they still kept battling.
They brought 341 fans with them yesterday to swell our coffers.
Should we show them some respect, or are we going to crow about their 4-0 thrashing, like that cocky idiot from Lincoln who came on our forum recently & did exactly the same to us?
There's a motto - 'Humility in victory - defiance in defeat!
We'd all do well to follow it.
