Good assessment. Ok Phipps red cards are becoming a problem but we had the lead at 70 minutes in no small part to what i thought was an outstanding contribution by both Phipps and Travares.A S dagger97 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 09, 2023 7:56 pm Thought we went about the game the right way and executed the plan very well in the first half and Chesterfield were clearly not completely at the races. They meant business from the start of the second half though and got the early red card which paired with the goal aswel meant we were there for the taking and so it proved. Phippsy clearly is good in CB but he'll has had multiple reds since he's been playing there and lacks the discipline in key moments which costs us a lot of points. Eastman looks a lot more composed and natural at the back but I feel Strevs might still stick with Phippsy when they are both available again but all depends on the formation we play with. Was a long trip for many but i wouldn't say it was an awful performance and on another day we could of gone away with a nice point.
Really would have liked to see Sid have a go for the last 20 . Kendell had ran his race by then and we needed a presence with a bit of speed up top. Kendell was running around a lot but was tottally ineffrctive once again. Chesterfield are a very good team but that defence to me looked very suss and that change would not have made us any poorer.
All in all the best team won but i am certain of one thing the bravest team lost.
Unlucky lads but in my opinion you did us proud and on another day would have least earnt a very good point
