Yes, that was a massive win yesterday, but let's not forget that Chesterfield can still get above us, although they will need 2 wins and a draw now from their 3 games in hand.

The first of those 3 games is on Tuesday when they travel to Morecambe where a home win will be another step towards survival for us. A home win there coupled by a win for us over Barnet on Saturday and we can all start to relax a little bit.

Chesterfield then travel to Exeter on Tuesday week which will be a very hard game for them and then have Newport at home in their other game in hand.

I didn’t see anything from them yesterday that would lead to them finishing above us. They’ll be bollocksed playing Sat/Tues for the rest of the season and are dreadful on the road - with 4/7 games they have left away. If they finish above us I’ll run through the Pontoon with a hot.... I’ll be very surprised.

The only team we have to fear is Barnet,

We beat them and we are safe.

It looks to me like the only thing that could have turned Chesterfield around would have been a change of manager around December. Another similarity to us, only we *may* have made the change just in the nick of time.

Regardless of our League status next season Jolley should still be here, I think Lester will be gone within hours if they go down. I honestly don't see anything in his management attempts that says otherwise, and I'd be pretty angry as a Spireite fan to have ploughed on with him through such a depressing period of time, Slade-style.

As I see it, if we beat Barnet then scrape another point somewhere we are safe looking at remaining fixtures for the bottom 5. would need at least 2 teams to go on amazing runs for us to finish in the bottom 2.

I was surprised with their choice of manager and said at the time it was a big risk in the Neil Woods mould to go with him, as he is totally lacking experience. Well and truly backfired for them.

Let’s hope it’s a dead rubber. That would be lovely.

If we can secure another three points v Barnet we will want to see victories for Lincoln & Cheltenham (not something associated with town fans) that would place us above Veggie Rovers and the Vale with Veggies next game v Chesterfield and one of them must suffer.

Veggie guys like us need to win their home games to stay up let’s hope they win none of them.
