Just had a look on the Chesterfield forum and the level of delusion is laughable.

According to them, 7th is better than 6th as they get to play Halifax and Solihull, who they refer to as Birmingham Airport Overspill Car ark FC and they say that neither team has any fans, so their team won't be intimidated at either venue.

One poster even mentioned starting a Solihull score prediction thread and he went with 3-0 to Chesterfield with a Quigley hat trick. He never mentioned the fact that they had to get past Halifax first.

Have they seen the league table and their recent form guide?

I'd rather we not play either of them as our record against them has been quite crap. We actually played much better against the other teams in the playoffs so I'd fancy them more.

I wish we could play Chesterfield. Twice. A one man team for half a season and garbage for the other half.

Chesterfield are weird, I’m sure those deluded fans are in the few but it’s still odd. They’ve essentially limped through the season season the front man got injured. I get it, teams miss their best players but they look shite.

Any half sensible person would realise that Solihull and Halifax are probably the teams you want to avoid. Fans mean nothing, I know some on here have an obsession with how many we take to games etc but in truth it does mean intercourse all. I get the whole creating an atmosphere thing but Solihull and Halifax have literally been hanging around 3rd/4th all season…neither seem to lose games…

Its been a brilliant season all round both on and off the pitch - one of them seasons that you dont really want to end - and how often have we said that over the last 10/15/20 years?!

Could Chesterfield even miss out on 7th still?

A defeat to Woking and a Dagenham win v Wrexham ?!

Talking about our game(s) into the play offs, is David Longe-King back in the fold, and available again once Woking have played on Sunday?

Main season over - loan spell complete, still our contracted player?

Not wanting any injuries or further suspensions, but an extra defender body available would be useful to have on board, and he has been playing for them.

Not sure how the loan works with play offs in place.

Don’t think many chesterfield fans are remotely delusional. They know they’re limping into the play offs at best, they’re split on Paul Cook although a significant number want him gone
If you look at the forum regularly you’ll note that they know they’ve been appalling since Tshimanga got injured

It's sad I know but I keep a regular eye out on our rivals via their forums and I think it was just their way of putting a brave face on them likely finishing 7th.

The Chesterfield forum is usually pretty fair and realistic but if they get into the playoffs they have as much chance as us of winning them as it is very much a lottery.

On Twitter the other day the highlights of the Gateshead semi final came up. In the home leg we should have been out of sight but the second leg was a freak event - Macca letting a shot go through his hands, 2 sending offs etc. so anything can and does happen in pressure matches.

Turns out that Wrexham's biggest game of the season is tonight, and they're not even playing!!
