I thought the overall performance was very poor today, it all seemed to stem from a lack of communication at the back. Cisak was very poor in his decision making today which was summed up best when threw the ball out to Chris and it went out for a throw in. I was surprised that Kevin Long didn't start at the back at least not just for his height and I think playing Leam Richardson at full back would've probably helped us with the link up play to the midfield.

Our main strength comes from when we retain possession and pass the ball with patience and accuracy. This was completely missing today, too many times we hoofed the ball up front and never won the balls in midfield. There were a good few kicks done by Cisak that went straight to their goalkeeper and there were very few roaming runs by the full backs or any link up play with the wingers. I thought that Chris Turner put in two very good crosses that were begging to be put away, he did more in 40 minutes than Sean did for 90 minutes. In my eyes I think it is criminal that he hasn't been given a start this season, how can anyone make an impact on a game when he is only given 15 minutes here and there?

I also find it strange that Bavs has been dropped, he has been in the form of his life this season and has done very little wrong. I think we have certainly missed Bateson especially for his roaming runs and his link up play with the midfield. I think it is critical that we get some sort of result at Chesterfield otherwise I fear our promotion bid will well and truly go out of the window.
