100% completely agree on both points.

Just a quick one on Jacobs, I think he’s our second top assister this season. He isn’t as exciting as Dobra, Colclough, Berry however his quality on the ball in terms of passing is probably the best in the team. One of the only players who plays through balls centrally behind the defensive line, usually everyone plays down the wings instead of trying to get a ball in behind the centre backs.

I would say that sometimes he seems to stroll about a bit and doesnt look like he’s putting in 110%.

Yesterday though he came deep a lot to try and get the ball and make things happen in the first half as we couldn’t get the ball up to our attacking players.

I think he gets a hard time from our fans however imo he offers something different to anyone else in the team and is best used centrally with 2 wingers who like to run at defenders either side of him.

I got on a bit late because of work but just spent a couple of minutes refreshing the screen and managed to get 3 so as others have mentioned if you didn’t get any just try and refresh for a while. Any none bought tickets will come back availability after they’ve been in someone’s basket for 20 mins.

Good luck.

Full backs then mate, either way they get up high and attack leaving the wings exposed which Bromley capitalised on yesterday. I think we’re splitting hairs with the terminology to be honest.

I think most people who were there yesterday will agree that we played well midfield onwards (3 goals suggest so) and defensively played well in the first half.

The challenge came in the second half when Bromley switched tactic, in the first they played long direct balls over the top and through the middle which we dealt with fine. In the second they realised our wing backs push forward and instead played these balls straight down the wings and crossed into the box. We didn’t adapt and we didn’t deal with it, they looked like they could score from every cross and we couldn’t clear the ball which was frustrating and something which we usually deal with fine, I am sure the coaching team will look into it analyse and come up with the proper solutions

I think overall we played well and should have won with slightly better defending, but no reason to panic like I’ve seen on here and social media.

I do prefer jones in the squad over Oldaker, not sure if he’s injured or if cook just prefers Oldaker because he is more of a fancy midfielder who twists and turns in the ball and plays a nice passing game. Jones however offers us that gritty, determined hard work that stifles oppositions counter attacks, when the opposition are on the counter you always feel like Jones will get back and cover not so much with Oldaker. This is not meant as a dig at Oldaker by the way I think he’s a very tidy player and definitely has his place in the team. I think Halifax away on their pitch and with their style of play Jones would be the perfect partner for Naylor.

Overall we are still clear runaway winners and yesterday hasn’t changed that at all despite the what some town fans are acting like on twitter. I thought we would lose around 5/6 games this season and that’s looking to be about right, teams that win a league usually lose around 10 in a season. We probably won’t see another season like this again for chesterfield in terms of being 20 points clear with the league pretty much wrapped up in Feb so for gods sake just enjoy it whilst it’s happening!

See you all at Halifax Tuesday.
