Looking at todays results that’s the majority of the nails in the national league coffin for our main rivals.

[Zigsuk]

Surely the title is now done and dusted? We'd have to lose AT LEAST six games and Bromley and Barnet win theirs.

21st different side to be beaten this season

Only Oldham (a 16th March) & Maidenhead (h 20th April) to get the full set

[Bonnyman]

Quigley may have the best goals per minutes played in europe,will he want 20 minutes a game next season?

Love to give those two an absolute hiding

[Zytok]

Still unhappy about the home Oldham game. If it wasn't for some major skullduggery by the Oldham players and fans, we'd have won that one too.

[Zigsuk]

Even the doomsters must accept that a team that has only lost 3 out of 29 aren't going to lose 7 out of 17.

[Zytok]

You know they won't though right

[Jud]

Not a bad result to be found, today! Good old football. Special mention for Agent J-Bowz helping out down the road. Smashing.

[stainlessstephen]

This was another priceless win and richly deserved.

The only team that can stop Chesterfield FC is... Chesterfield FC.

Surely we cannot fail from this position now.

I’ve been downplaying it despite my non town supporting brother saying it’s been done for weeks…today has a feel that it’s when it happens. 16pts clear and 74 points by the end of January is ridiculous.

I’ve just put on Twitter that I’ve seen some food town teams, some alright ones and some awful ones but this side is something else. It’s just been a relentless assault on the national league this season. I don’t give a toss that Wrexham or county did what they did what we’ve done this season is remarkable.

Bottom interesting, 4 of bottom 5 winning today at moment, and 5th cant as they are playing one of the others. If you are in bottom 9 or 10 you might be getting nervous...

Dead right. Getting a bit tight down there. Kiddy on a roll, at least 4 other teams looking over their shoulder now

They will be pre occupied with their current plight, bottom teams putting runs together and they drop points every game.

Huge exaggeration. When Dobra loses possession he is extremely quick to track back and hold up the opposition. He starts every single game, fitness permitting, for me, because he is one of the few players we have who will always run at opponents. IMO the suggestion that Berry starts in that position instead of Dobra is just daft. Berry has shown clearly that, at the moment, he is far more effective coming on as a sub, and far more effective in a wide left position. I know Dobra has yet to hit his best form consistently this season, but he still draws in two or even three defenders, creating space for others to run into, and I have a feeling he might go on a good goalscoring run between now and the end of the season. It's quite noticeable that Dobra seems to be more effective against better opposition, so maybe that will show today.

If you have not noticed how many times this season he has tried to beat players twice and then been relieved of the ball, with a lot of our players in advanced positions,it has exposed us on quite a few occasions especially with the lack of pace we mostly have at the back,you have either not been at the games or have been blinded by your personal liking of the player.Don't get me wrong,he is full of talent,as he has shown today, but he still has much to learn and my point was not a dig at him but my opinion that today's opponents did not need a helping hand.Either PC thought the same,or total coincidence,who knows?COYB

We don’t need to lose 7, it depends how many we draw. 6 draws for example is the same as 4 defeats. It’s not so much the fact that we have only lost 3 games, but the fact that we haven’t drawn many that we are so far ahead

Anyone heard what Mandy's recent illness was when he missed a couple of games?He has looked drained since his return and today we were playing with ten men for most of the game,I can only think that PC did not pull him at halftime or any time during the match due to him being a confidence player and not wanting to undermine him.
With good reason he has been the first name on the sheet most of the season,and the virtual Duracell Bunny non stop from first to last,it stands out more.
Hopefully he is soon back to the standard he has set ready for this business end of the season.COYB

Didn’t want to say anything myself, as noticed this for a few games now. I know he’s not been the most naturally tanned lad, but been looking really pale since illness and in the second half of the altrincham game there was a injury break second half I think or some down time he ran over to bench and noticed he had to puke into a bucket. Maybe just over thinking but hope he’s ok

[CFC91]

Very comfortable that was really.

1st and 3rd goals a touch of class

Don't know if it's true but I was told it was COVID and a nasty dose. Which would point to him looking lethargic

I thought his work rate was still there, he was working as hard as anyone at the end to defend the lead, he just looked a yard slower than usual
