Definitely a game of two halves. A cagey first 45 followed by an end to end open second 45. Could have gone either way. There were 3 extraordinary misses by Dackers, Amaluzor and Linney though

Agree with what's been already said, but I really must put in a word for Isaac Marriott who I thought was superb this afternoon.

Fylde were awful to watch - the dirtiest team to come to our ground in quite a long time. While the referee missed very little (despite the pop side assistant being as much help as a plasticine frying pan) I did feel he should have been more generous in handing out cards ('tis the season after all!)

Yes, deffo three "my granny would have scored that" moments.
To be fair they had a few also.Great block by Baines.
My MoM was Ross.

Poor first half.Better 2nd.Think they deserved a point

Deserved win without being brilliant, fingers crossed our  best players are still with us at the end of January and Newby as a permanent or until the end of season would be good also.

Last year we'd have dropped points today.
We found a way to win and CCC and Ethan were immense for us.

Agreed. Some shocking finishing by us as well. Fylde made it a niggly game, committed a lot of fouls & tried to break it up as well they might being bottom. Ross was superb, if that was Byrne still we draw that no question.

Good after a long time off league action we got back in with a win & set us up for a top of the table telly clash at Bromley next Saturday. Decent gate too at this time of year & against tinpot opposition. Suspect we’ll be on for 3k+ vs Fax again on Boxing Day.

It was a surreal moment for me when 3C scored the winner.  I was right behind the spot that the ball bounced back up into the roof of the net and all about me seemed deathly quiet except for what sounded like a low volume distant cheer. All those around me seemed shocked to silence in the same way as I was and the scene seemed to be frozen for a second or two before an almighty roar engulfed Moss Lane.

It was a bit like when a small section of the crowd cheer when the ball goes into the side netting because from their angle it looks like a goal only on this occasion the ball HAS really gone in.

Just seen CCC’s goals from yesterday again! Extraordinary! He was quite absent in the game but like Parky says, he’s a match winner and can win any match with a moment or two of quality. Big shout out to Baines too who blocked a certain goal towards the end saving our 3 points.

I thought he was everywhere again on Saturday he's a part of most things and is invariably the pivot man for wider plays coming inside. He's a friggin' Rolls Royce though so sometimes it looks like he's strolling through games rather than racing.

Ethan, Isaac and Chris are the main cogs in our wheel and the ultimate reason we are where we are. I agree wholeheartedly about Fylde who could well have taken all six points off us . The Spireites apart the league is harder to predict than at any other time , we are going great guns and the confidence within the team growing by the game . We the fans share that confidence now and for the first time in over thirty years we can properly sense something very real and special here .

We have a VERY tough January on paper - three away ties v top half clubs (notwithstanding Southend's points deduction) and three home ties v top half clubs that have already beaten us.

Add to that the element of transfer speculation, squad rotation due to quick turnarounds etc - if we're still hanging in there after that, I'll feel very positive.

There's absolutely no comfortable games in there whatsoever.

Next game is a biggy v Bromley away. Difficult one that, especially with Michael Cheek. There again, Halifax home and away is tough. Nine points from  the next 3 and we are chasing top spot, big ask though.

I think if we can get five or more points from those three, I'd be happy.

PS. Hoping for more though obviously 😉🇦🇹
