Title: Chesterfield Match Thread
Post by: One Foot in the Grave on November 21, 2021, 08:32:34 AM
Despite their manager wringing his hands in woe about their injury problems, the Spireites haven't lost since September 28th, and their record since then is 7-2-0 with a goals record of 23-5. They've only conceded more than once on a single occasion during this run.

This is a tough one for us, and if we can take a point it'll be a good achievement.

Chesterfield are one of the 3 huge teams who have spent fortunes on their squad.

A draw would be bloody brilliant.

Just printed off the tickets.

£7.00 for a car park space at the ground. Haven’t been there before so at least I won’t have to hunt for a space anywhere. Anyway,  I expect the car will be gleaming after they have washed and valeted it ffs.

A real tall order this one, would be delighted with a point. New ground to tick off mind but fond memories of the old Saltergate and our Unibond League Cup final win in ‘98.

As everyone else says, a real tough game this as I'm sure Parky and co know already. Interested to see how he lines up the team on this one.

A point or more will be a Mega achievement.

Come on Alty

Parky hinted at a change in tactic in the Weymouth interview. Maybe an extra body in central midfield.

They have specially modified turnstiles so you can get in with a printer however they must be securely strapped to your back.

There's a quite obvious 'collect at ground' option.

Absolutely quality lads. Never give up.

Maybe it is time to give Whitehead and Pringle a few games in CM. Love Moult but I think we just need more quality in there.

Also, Leitch-Smith up top.

Quality point.

Also stick with our favored formation. Much better second half.
Title: Re: Chesterfield Match Thread
Post by: rorysgrandad on November 23, 2021, 10:48:51 PM
Four from six in two away games is superb. Just need three more on Saturday. Southend are having a dodgy time and if they're to come good let's hope it's after next weekend.
Title: Re: Chesterfield Match Thread
Post by: robininstockport on November 23, 2021, 11:30:28 PM
Hard fought point, fair play to tactical half time change. Digie will fell a tad hard done being the one to be subbed.

The more I see of Dinange the worse he seems, Leitch-Smith must surely start Saturday. As must Pringle instead of Porter.

Hampson looked a bit rusty (as you'd expect) but a huge upgrade on Fitzpatrick.

Title: Re: Chesterfield Match Thread
Post by: cheshire cat on November 23, 2021, 11:41:58 PM
Digie was unlucky to be subbed but someone had to be sacrificed.

A few faces missing tonight. Let's hope it's not Covid related.

Great way to finish a game. Almost better than a win.
Title: Re: Chesterfield Match Thread
Post by: Sale Holmfield on November 23, 2021, 11:59:26 PM
Great performance and yet another late comeback for a well deserved point.

On the substitutions, Digie was very unfortunate to go off. I am not convinced that A-Jay Leitch-Smith is fully fit, although he was certainly lively enough in his cameo performance, while I really struggle to see why Ben Pringle is not starting each match.

Good stuff tonight, though,

What a night. Incredible point against all the odds. Thought we did amazingly well to stick to the game plan and build up to our goals which were thoroughly deserved in the end. Chesterfield were an excellent side with threats all over the pitch so it came as a bit of a surprise to see them capitulate and fold so easily after we scored our first..almost like they were shocked we managed to break their lines. They seemed to panic after that and we did to them what they’d been doing to us all game. Great games from Mullarkey and Kosylo but everyone put in a shift. Subs well made and all brought something to the team when they came on. Well done to Parky and the lads it’s put a smile back on my face after Gateshead.

Just a note for Chesterfield’s ground and facilities too which were absolutely superb. No idea what they’re doing in this division but it shows how well we’re doing to not only be here but to be competitive as well.

Superb night watching the lads get a deserved point against Chesterfield at a superb stadium.
In all my years watching Alty. ( Since the late 1950s). Tonight’s comeback is up there with one of the best nights I’ve had watching them..

I’ve said it often but, Dinanga isn’t the solution and Ben Pringle should start every game if fit, So far this season of the teams I’ve seen us play against Grimsby have impressed the most.

Can’t wait for Saturday, Bring on the The Shrimpers.

It was great to sit near the singers tonight,  I’m a bit hoarse now

Also nice to see a proud Co Chairman celebrating at the end of the game

Well done to Parky, Sorvs and the lads

Onwards & Upwards.

Listening to Radio Robins it sounded like the Alty fans made most of the noise, or was that to do with where they were sat? The commentators were so fair to both sides which is a credit to them but they certainly knew how to react to the goals, particularly number 2. Excellent stuff. Keep it up Brian.

It’s striking that our style of football is bridging a fitness gap if you can be scoring injury time winners (Dag) and equalisers (last night) at the league leaders.

I think most teams there at 0-2 would’ve (and indeed have) folded.

Edit: we’re about the third team to score an injury time equaliser at Chesterfield but the others were Torquay Bromley and Borehamwood so two top eight sides.

He is very often an absolute p**** in his post match interviews. Indeed, his view is reflected by many Chesterfield fans who bemoan their 'injury crisis' while conveniently overlooking the fact that their squad represents the cast of thousands compared to ours. From what I remember, PP simply got on with it when covid struck and we had 4 kids on the bench nobody had ever heard of.

To be fair quite a few of their fans have given us some credit on their forum.

I saw a few bottles being dispatched at Thompson, poor form indeed.

Also thought I saw a yellow given to one of ours after the final whistle

I think these are really golden days to be an Alty fan, the team and the football amongst the very best I can recall in my 30 odd years of watching us. You just wander if we were able to go full time what might be possible…

I think we should really be in the Southend thread, but this does highlight one of the problems with the current enforced arrangements.

 "Colourful" language, up to a point as Hashtag says, is tolerated, say, in the Golf Road End,  when it would not be acceptable in the Family Stand, but everybody is crammed in together and can't really choose where  to go.  I think you have to give a bit of leeway for now, or turn a deaf ear, I am afraid, but the sooner this is sorted out, the better it will be for everyone.
