If there is one game I want to win more than any other from now till May, this is it.

Interesting to see a new defender come in on loan, I thought we needed a striker more than anything!!

Come on the reds!
 
fair point Dave!!!
we did have the option of putting Deano in at right back and playing
Atkinson along-side Aldred but then with Deano getting forward we would miss his speed at the back
 
Big test for JB, after Scunthorpe result.
Also, chance for Mr. Hatfield to step up with Murphy out for 3 games.
Has anyone got some spare fingernails?
 
Great display, 10 men fer two thirds of the match thanks to Murphys stupidity, he was fouled a few mins previous so made an horrendous tackle.:(Fair play to Stanley they carried on attacking until half time n got just rewards in injury time.Was great to see the Snake jumping about in temper all in all a great display.:) The new lad did very well i thought n astute loan imho.
 
Seems Snake was sent off at half time, away to the stand.:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38: Today just gets better n better.:D Heard their lads got a broken leg, hope he soon mends if thats true.
 
Well I did have my doubts before kickoff, I was busy with uni work so decided not to jinx them with my bad luck. Oh my..... Work completed and Stanley win happy days :)
 
Well done to everyone........I have just read a fantastic novel 14 pages of drivel on the Spirites Blog.....what bad losers.Its just a shame Cooky didn't end up on his backside when he offered Paul Stevenson out at half time.
 
Ref had a shocker - soft bookings for us throughout and at least 2 penalties for them that he didn't give.

Cooky and Stephenson sent off at half time for scrapping outside of the dressing rooms.

Roberts lost my respect - gets tapped in the chest whilst on the floor and rolls around holding his face.

Murphy was sent off for two yellow cards - not a straight sending off so I think I'm right in saying it will only be a 1 match ban.

I think the ref was harsh with the sending off - it was a strong tackle but Murphy won the ball cleanly - as I said he was only shown a yellow for the tackle - the stupid booking he got for not retreating 10 yards from a free kick is what *really* cost him.

On the other hand Cooky losing his head at half time worked wonders for us - they could have won the game if they went about it right but came out with a "woe is me" attitude and we defended well against them.
 
Didn't see that coming!
Really liked the shape and movement of Chesterfield,and they will win the league.
I have never witnessed a more open game for years with numerous chances at both ends.we took ours,they didn't.
In the second half full credit must go to the coaching staff,who made changes at the right time and set us up to be hard to break down
We let them have the ball in front of us and in wide areas,kept compact and competed for all balls delivered in(call recall a serious save that had to be made)
All the team never switched off and special mentions for Gray,Aldred and Joycy,although Moly will get the headlines.
Keeper also caught everything and relieved pressure at vital times,
I hope the lad who got carried off makes a full recovery,as he looked a good player
