Always appreciate the 3 points, but it wasn't pretty today.

When I saw the size of the Chesterfield team I assumed that the tactics would be to play the ball on the floor and use the pace of Roscoe. We didn't start to do that until the last third of the game and it paid off.

To be fair to Whalley, who has taken a lot of stick this season, his pace and direct play instantly caused problems for those big monsters. As soon as he started running at them, you could tell they were worried.

Nice to see a little variation at corners too. The driven ball from Craney was perfect for Roscoe to head home.

There was more effort from the team today, even though confidence was obviously rock bottom. I still don't see Branch as a team player (see his outburst at Dunbavin and his verbal assault on the fans), but the 3 points were a nice bonus.
