Chesterfield

Not won for 10 games and barely scored a goal in that period. Fortune who was on trial here scored a penalty tonight in their 3-1 defeat to Maidenhead but we certainly did well to avoid signing him.

All 38 Maidenhead fans were louder than the 3600 Chesterfield fans except for the end when Chesterfield fans vented their frustrations that the players aren't fit to wear the shirt.

Tonights attendance was their lowest league attendance at the Proact Stadium and they are outside the relegation zone by virtue of goal difference. I can't help but think how easily that could have been us.

Martin Allen has a big job on his hands if he can keep hold of it.  His signings don't look fit and he's changing the starting 11 constantly as he tries to find a winning formula.

It all sounds very familiar with what is happening here. He said tonight that before he joined Chesterfield the longest he had gone without a win was 3 games and his win percentage was 47%. He said tonight that the players will not have a day off until they start cutting out the basic errors and winning games.

I hope we can start to pull clear and get some points on the board because if we fall through the trap door, we are in danger of falling further.

Mad Dog trying too hard to live up to his nickname.

Had a couple of good starts to spells at Barnet and once won a promotion at Gillingham but clashed with people, especially players and owners, wherever he has gone. The original fruit loop who buys into and plays up to his self made reputation.

Can’t see him lasting much longer tbh

Massive expectation from the fans
Playing in dead home/away atmospheres
Mood becoming toxic
Hmmmm, seem to remember this one from somewhere!

All brought about by a former favourite player wedged in as Manager who was clearly failing badly in the early stages but allowed to continue.

Chaotic, egotistical mismanagement from the top is always behind these stories.

No, Chesterfield have been rotten for a number of years. Back-to-back relegations and struggling at the wrong end again. There problems started long before Jack Lester was appointed. MA was never going to turn them around instantly, but even so the current run of results there is pathetic.

That could still be applied to Town though, the rot goes back some considerable years. Where our sorry little tale seems to differ from those other spiralling downwards basket case clubs is that our (non) Chairman was trying to do his best for his hometown club.
Chesterfield, if I recall correctly were subject to some typical 'out of Towners' moving in with little regard for the club or its fans.

Corrected for you  

The trouble with Chesterfield is that it is the centre of the country.  They can easily get players to travel daily or move to the local area.  (Irony alert switched on).

They will not be successful unless they are miles from anywhere, like Grimsby, and unable to attract players.  

3600 is still pretty good support after their rotten run. perhaps their fans still have the feel good factor that we all know and love from non league footie

Martin Allen is a relegation specialist. It's all he knows.
