Chesterfield Match Highlights

Quoted from chaos33

Highlights show just how sh1t the ref was.

Highlights show how shite the team were, 0 shots on target  usually means no goals.

Shows how much we need a striker who knows what he is doing ,, and of a good standard.. if not  just say your not going for it and let the crowds decide if its worth going or not

Given up contesting people who post cobblers, so yes…you’re both absolutely right. Do carry on. I’m sure we’re all gaining something from your overreactions, just can’t specify what it is..? 🥱🤔

I’d imagine that the Chesterfield edition of the highlights would make it look as if they were all over us especially if they had a similar commentary. I’d prefer to see the other 85 minutes before agreeing that we’d played fairly well.

Saw the other 85 minutes, can agree we played fairly well.

Hope this helps.

Just watched the vid and wondered why Hurst plays LJL. The other week he fails to hold the ball up, he can't shoot and this week he failed to defend and let them score. I'm not sure he was the right person to mark their scorer but, to me, he's passed it and should retire. Let's not forget he was very good but time has caught up on him and we did get him from a league below us.

As for Crookes, well I think he went for the glory goal to burst the net and cost us a point. From the highlights, we seem to have played well and missed chances to score, that said it's another defeat.

It’s funny how a couple of posts say’ oh by the look of that we played quite well!’. It makes me wonder how many people on here actually go to the games and can give a proper opinion…….yes we played well and matched them, all is not lost at this point in the season !

more than matched them & in nearly all our defeats we been done by the odd goal, notts chesterfield we certainly didn't deserve to lose both games but goals win games & you can't explain the crookes miss

Thanks Rob. It does help. I never express an opinion if I haven’t been at the game myself or watched it in full on TV. Brief highlights or radio commentary are no basis for judging the team’s performance.

I'd say we competed well and didn't deserve to lose. Didn't play particularly well, however.

We were the better team against Notts County but still lost. I'm not sure we were the better team against Chesterfield. Same result, however.

Clifton should have scored early doors, Crookes should have scored late on. However the biggest question for me is why oh why wasn’t it someone’s job, and preferably not a striker, to be all over Tshimanga at a set piece?

The vast majority of his goals this season have come from about 6 yards having reacted more quickly to a situation than the defenders. I get that he’s not the biggest bloke in the world so it may not have made sense for one of our three centre halves to be man marking him, but surely it should have been the job of Fox of Coke to simply not give him a sniff?

I don’t know, it just seems like such a basic oversight that I wouldn’t have expected from a Paul Hurst team. It’s no good being the better team between boxes if we make crucial errors in them.
