updates as we hear them

Still 0 - 0, but Shrews just scored against Accy and Aldershot gone 1 up against Grimsby. In the live table we've now climbed two places out of the relegation places Darlo also 1 down.

Drew Talbot 1 - 0

1 - 1 Jevons equalises with pen

Unbeaten in two

Well done to the team!

Sounds like we played well .

Fair result and a good away point i thought. Barry kept us in the game with some superb shot stopping and boy did he get some stick in the second half from the Chesterfield fans. its just a pity that we didnt take more advantage of the strong wind in the second half and shoot a little bit more instead of playing one pass to many. But overall an encouraging display and maybe a sign that things are begining to gell

Can anyone give some ratings on how the players played today ?

Ratings IMO

Roche 9
Moss 6
Adams 7
Artell 7
Bentley 7
Wilson 8
Drummond 6
Panther 8
Craney 7
Twiss 8
Jevons 7

so youve given up on player already?

Panther was again quality today, worked hard covering the defence (better than Fraser IMO) & showed how fast he is, running down the wing skinning their defender, crossing into the box for it to be a handball. Defensively today we improved alot, Jimbo & Artell looked like they did in the first season in the league, they had Lester in their pockets all afternoon. Roche ..... best keeper in the league

i would agree on most of them, apart from Drummond 5 at best for me, i thought he was very poor

IMO...

Roche - 8. Several good saves to keep us in it.
Moss - 5. Made a few mistakes but was obviously out of position.
Adams - 6. Decent, no nonsense performance.
Artell - 7. Good game, making interceptions and winning headers.
Bentley - 7. Kept Lester quiet.
Wilson - 8. Was great pushing forward and threatened with his crosses.
Panther - 8. Won tackles, brought the ball forward. An all action performance.
Drummond - 6. Quiet but spread it around a bit in a game where we otherwise struggled to make space.
Craney - 7. Got bogged down in the centre but looked dangerous when pushed wide in second half.
Twiss - 7. Again, didn't have much space to work in but showed some flashes of quality.
Jevons - 6. Struggled as a target man as usual but took the pen well and came close with a shot hitting the bar.


If we get Duffy back and bring in Mullin for next saturday, we'll be great. In the first half, we only had Moss and Wilson sitting deep to provide width so we had to concentrate through the middle without a target man which = attacks falling apart. In the second half, we got the ball out wide and forced the penalty. With Mullin, we'll be able to let Jevons play the way he wants and Duffy will get down that right flank to provide some service into the box which is obviously what worked for us in the second half today. Apart from that, the defence was good and the midfield worked well. Maybe its finally clicking?

much improved performance today in front of about 160 away fans,thought wilson,rochey twissy and panther were exclellent.it is superb how twissys game has improved immensely with the better players around him

Agreed

Twissy's playing with increasing confidence. He not only showed a lot of skill out there today, but also a hunger that had disappeared over the last couple of seasons. It's great to see and can only be good news for the season.

Twiss might have better players round him but we have only got 3 points out of a possible 15 ???????????

I'm not 'happy' about it no, but I went today and saw the improvement that was made - Clearly ALOT of work has gone in during training this week.

Well thats good to hear but what iv read on here it sounds like Barry stopped us from getting a thumping today ???????

Not at all, he pulled off a few good saves from chances Chesterfield cleverly created themselves, but we also hit the bar & created chances ourselfs. Defensively we were spot on and made no mistakes as far as I could see. We looked a really decent team today, whereas in our previous 4 we looked poor/average.

I must admit im quite happy with a point today, and if as you say there was a big improvment well then hopefully we may have turned the corner,

Did anyone else notice how many stewards and police officers were in attendance today? I dont know how many they thought we would bring today
