Chesterfield Match Thread...........

[Stanleymad]

Well I did have my doubts before kickoff, I was busy with uni work so decided not to jinx them with my bad luck. Oh my..... Work completed and Stanley win happy days

Well done to everyone........I have just read a fantastic novel 14 pages of drivel on the Spirites Blog.....what bad losers.Its just a shame Cooky didn't end up on his backside when he offered Paul Stevenson out at half time.

Thats a good example of the pathetic snake he is.

Ref had a shocker - soft bookings for us throughout and at least 2 penalties for them that he didn't give.

Cooky and Stephenson sent off at half time for scrapping outside of the dressing rooms.

Roberts lost my respect - gets tapped in the chest whilst on the floor and rolls around holding his face.

Murphy was sent off for two yellow cards - not a straight sending off so I think I'm right in saying it will only be a 1 match ban.

I think the ref was harsh with the sending off - it was a strong tackle but Murphy won the ball cleanly - as I said he was only shown a yellow for the tackle - the stupid booking he got for not retreating 10 yards from a free kick is what *really* cost him.

On the other hand Cooky losing his head at half time worked wonders for us - they could have won the game if they went about it right but came out with a "woe is me" attitude and we defended well against them.

Didn't see that coming!
Really liked the shape and movement of Chesterfield,and they will win the league.
I have never witnessed a more open game for years with numerous chances at both ends.we took ours,they didn't.
In the second half full credit must go to the coaching staff,who made changes at the right time and set us up to be hard to break down
We let them have the ball in front of us and in wide areas,kept compact and competed for all balls delivered in(call recall a serious save that had to be made)
All the team never switched off and special mentions for Gray,Aldred and Joycy,although Moly will get the headlines.
Keeper also caught everything and relieved pressure at vital times,
I hope the lad who got carried off makes a full recovery,as he looked a good player

STANLEY WERE SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT TODAY.
With the exception of Murphy that is. His sheer stupidity for the first booking was for either not retreating ten yards or for saying something stupid in earshot of the referee. The referee was just as inept as he has been every time he has officiated at Stanley. For Murphy's second booking he had, in the twenty seconds before Murphy's tackle, let 3 bad fouls go unpunished!!! I hope the injured lad gets better soon.
The rest of the team including subs were BRILLIANT;
Gray won nearly everything and tackled and created lots of great stuff. He had run so hard I think he had cramp before an hour was on the clock.
Moly took his goals well, although the first had a bit of luck as it bobbled all the way through everybody! Hatfield and Joyce played thier hearts out too. Wilson and the new lad Buxton, (he's so cool on the ball), were both great and frustrated Roberts and their other winger. Webber did well in the first half too. Windass. Koyode and rob Atkinson did their bit when they came on too. Marcus in goalk did not have a lot of shots to stop as most of their attempts were well off target but he did cath alot in the air under severe pressure in the second half.
DEANO WAS MAGNIFICENT AND SUPERBLY CLEARED ONE OFF THE LINE LATE ON AND HE WAS SO BRAVE THROUGHOUT THE MATCH.

HOWEVER, I'VE LEFT THE BEST UNTIL LAST BEACAUSE IF DEANO SCORED A 10 FOR HIS PERFORMANCE THEN THE MIGHTY TOM ALDRED WAS WORTH TWELVE AT LEAST!!
I THINK TOM IS SO BRAVE AND STRONG. HE WAS INTO EVERTHING TODAY AND WAS UNDOUBTABLY THE MAN OF THE MATCH.
Beatty's substitutions were spot on today as well and really Chestefield just ran out of ideas and finished up just hopefully chipping the ball into our goal mouth.
Watching Cookie was just comical in the first half!
THE CLAYTON END WERE BRILLIANT TOO AND THE BACK BARRETT CHANT WENT ON FOR OVER 20 MINUTES TOWARDS THE END.
JACK WOULD HAVE BEEN A PROUD MAN TODAY!!
WELL DONE TO ALL.
0N STANLEY ON

[winstanley asfc]

A great win indeed! I think fortune(how many sitters did they miss in the first half?!) and a ref slightly on our side added to our magnificent first half hour onslaught,gave us the League result of the day!
As for the snake Cook...

[caretaker]

Phew, never saw that coming team were magnificent as choirboy says, Ultras were magnificent as well, I stand next to cowshed and all the action unfolded in front of me,great result well done to all, I thought there was more than 1900 in the ground but must have been mistaken

[caretaker]

A mate in work got 33/1 for correct score,well done

[caretaker]

Aldred was my man of the match

[yonmon]

Just one word from me to describe this afternoon's humbling of Chesterfield....SWEET !!

[Redraine]

What a great match for my "comeback"! No complaints about team selection or substitutions today - all spot on. Thought Gray was immense, not only winning more than his share of headers but by his movement and skill on the ball he terrorised their defence. Unlike Football19, for a table topping team I couldn't believe how little penetration Chesterfield had in attack. Unable to pass their way through our magnificent defence their only tactic was to pass the ball out to the wings and and lob a steam of centres into the middle. The fact that Jimmy Ryan was substituted says it all. I really must try to bring my son-in-law more often. On each of his last 2 visits Lee has scored a hat-trick!

Crowd according to BBC was 1968.

Like others, I was hoping for a Stanley win, but never saw that coming. As I am on night duty, I went for a couple of hours this afternoon and got up at half time. What a shock to see Stanley down to 10 men but 3-0 up. Sweet!!!
All I can say is well done to the 10 for holding out for the last 60 or so minutes of the game and well done to the management and coaches for the correct substitutions at the correct times (for a change after what I have read on here previously). All I can say is roll on Tuesday night against the not so mighty shrimps in the replay of the abandoned game.
Heres hoping for 3 more points as it will put Stanley above them in the table and could even take us as high as 12th in the League (dependant on other results, of course) and 9 points clear of the drop zone. Looking forward to watching this on the Football League show tomorrow morning.

good descision by JB opting for pace up front today, Chesterfield had one of those days when the ball would not go in the net, it was like we had an invisable shield protecting our goal, some heroic defending from Stanley and a comedy of errors from Chesterfield, I thought the new loanee at right back had a good game, Murphy sending off was more down to the silly initial first yellow which could have ultimatley cost us the match and will have implications on the matches to come, but all in all a brilliant result beating top of the league with 10 men and Cookie sent to the wheel chair area Brilliant
