I just filled in the CFC Fans Survey.
What would improve my matchday experience?
Well, if the bloke behind me would stop moaning about DJ and Grimes that would definitely make things better.
But I don’t think that is what they had in mind.

I’m not sure where to start after that. So, I won’t.
If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all, as my mother would say.

The injured ref goes off to ironic chants of ‘you’re not fit to referee’.

I did say there would be more goals…
It was nice to come out on top in what was, let’s be honest, a fairly crazy game of football that could have easily gone the other way.

No idea how we were 2-0 up so 2-1 probably a fair reflection of the half.
Donny look quick with and without the ball. 👀
More goals in this.

Too tired to post after the game last night. But in the cold light of morning…
I enjoyed watching Town beat Bromley (who I have an irrational dislike of).
Dobra my MOTM but a doff of the cap to Grimes and McFadzean who were dominant at the back.
I like the look of Sparkes and Duffy. #Spireites

Better second half. But incredibly frustrating too.
Should have got something from the game.

No complaints from me today. I thought Town were excellent. Deserved at least a point.
If we had some attacking subs to bring on, we might have got it too. But we all know the situation.
Us fans were magnificent too.
On we go. #Spireites

I’ve deliberately waited before commenting on yesterday’s game.
As I left the ground, I thought we were lucky to get over the line.
But the more I think about it, the first 20 mins was sublime. And we defended ‘like beavers’ after that. There was a real desire to protect the lead. #Spireites

I’m too old to have a ‘favourite player’ but, if I did, Mike Jones would be it. The kind of lad you want in the trenches with you.
As such, I am sad to read that he will miss the rest of the season. ⬇️
Keeping him around is a good move though. A proper pro.

A real shame to hear Mike Jones has had to withdrawn from Chesterfield’s squad for the rest of the season, but a positive that he’ll remain around the building.
Showed exemplary character as he battled to become a key part of the Spireites’ squad in each of the previous two campaigns. #Spireites

Now that I can feel my fingers again…
Excellent stuff from Town today. Especially Coco, Dobs and Markanday.
We could/should have had 5 or 6.
But Tranmere have problems. Big problems.

I’ve never liked MK Dons. Nothing has changed after tonight. A horrible game in so many ways. So few positives. Best forgotten. #Spireites

Not brilliant. Not terrible. A bit too slow at times. But no shortage of effort and a win is a win. It felt like an important 3 points.
Markandy was top draw. I enjoyed Ty Williams’ performance too. Nice to have Naylor back in midfield. On we go.
