Re: Chesterfield Thread

This is a funny one as we left a few minutes before the end as we had to be somewhere

At that point I was euphoric as we had given a huge footballing lesson to the side currently sitting top of the League.

By the time we reached the car the Spireites had pulled one back & by the time we were on the M65 they had equalised.

As Smudgie said Gutted is perhaps not a strong enough word for the feeling driving back after that.

Positives super passing and flowing movement in the first half with really controlled stuff pushing & probing all the time and in fairness we could have been 4-0 up.

Humble pie time for me I think Craney was superb for the first forty five minutes pivotal in everything that was good with that first half performance.

Which was as good as I have seen this season.

At half-time there was a feeling between us that a third was neccessary to put the game to bed and to expect a Spireite onslaught particulary the first 15-20 minutes of the second half but it did not really come.

I felt for Jacobson as after he was booked as he was walking a tightrope in terms of perhaps challenges and maybe the change should have come then with going five at the back and taking off a midfielder?

But as I did not see the two goals we conceded hard for me to pick holes in what was an otherwise superb team performance.

Glad the flags were back, strange atmosphere at times as you could feel the tension in the crowd particulary second half.

Daft as it may seem overall I think there were more positives to take from today's display than there was from the game at Morecambe on Saturday.

But that's football it's all about opinions
