Probably the most disappointing performance of the season for me and we deserved nothing from that game at all. We did not test the keeper once in the entire game. To be fair to Cheaterfield they did a job on us by pressing, working hard, giving us no time on the ball and nullified any threat because we did not have the dominance of play or possession. We did not have anywhere near the quality, energy, creativity or spark to overcome that in the final third as has been the case many times this season.

It's games like today where our lack of creativity and ability to score more goals is going to cost us points. It puts more pressure on us getting a result against Stockport next.

There is no doubt about it we are far weaker up top this season having lost Thomas and Dennis. If we fail to get promoted this will be one of the key reasons.

You are certainly right we need to work out how to combat this type of threat, tbf they were exceptional by non league standards 1st half with their energy, commitment and positiveness. The one thing I said Ardley got wrong in the relegation season is he overthought it and today not sure if he got it wrong or our group just can't handle that type of side. What ive seen today is Chesterfield are extremely likely to make the playoffs and our chances of winning the title are a lot less likely, we'll make the play offs but there needs to be an honest assessment internally how we deal with these games going forward if we want to challenge.
That weren't exceptional Matt! We were just really poor.

My god. Some people's standards have slipped soooo far. It's worrying.
