To win this league or even come top three, we need a strong start. I just can't see us effectively catching up with the top teams if we start slowly. This game, although very early in the season, is already pivotal. Win and it's a good start. Lose and it's a bad start - we'd be five points behind Chesterfield already, and I could only see that gap widening.

My gut feeling is that Chesterfield are just a better team than us, so they'll win. I don't think players like O'Brien and Francis would get anywhere near Chesterfield's (or Wrexhams's, or Solihul's) starting eleven, yet they are starting for us every week. We just look weak in certain areas, and as the last two games have shown, we still have the mental weakness and tendency to shoot ourselves in the foot.

I hope they prove me wrong.
