There is only ONE team performed better than Town and they are only above us on Goal Difference.

Looking at the players brought in this season, can you say that they have improved the team from last season ? - As Dallas & Akinola were not our players last season - YES, Naylor, Berry, Griggs & Jacobs definitely strengthen the squad on last season

Still can't score goals from our new strikers. - Griggs has 3 Goals in 6 Starts ???
There is no improvement in defence, the same problem as last season, we leak goals and are predicable as to how we play. - We have Frecklington now but apart from that it's the same defence as last year, So are you saying Frecklington is not bringing anything to the team Give it time

There is not much change in the team from last season. - Apart from Grigg (3 Goals) - Naylor (3 Goals) - Grimes, Williams & Palmer (4 Goals), Colclough & Mandy (7 Goals in 7 Games) + over 50% of our goals have come from Set Pieces.

The latest in a long line of getting out players names wrong. It’s Freckleton not Frecklington.

When you look at the other teams around us, they have no money, take for example Solihull - No money whatsover and yet they are perfoming well,You have your Boreham Woods and Barnet not a lot of money, I can name a few other teams that are performing better than Chesterfield.

What is the soloution?

So, there is ONE team, I'll repeat that ONE team, who are above us in the league table. That ONE team have a one goal goal difference advantage over us. So, obviously, they are doing far far better than us!!!!

The TWO teams one point less than us, Hartlepool and Solihull have played 4 home games compared to our 3. So again they are doing much better than us!!!!!

Every other team in the league are at least 4 points worse off than us and even if we lose on Saturday and they win they can't go above us. Really makes you realise how much better than us they are doing.

Grigg, our new striker, has scored 3 goals in 6 games which is a shocking return ratio of only 1 in 2. Naylor, our new defensive midfielder, has scored 3 goals in 7 games from an area of the pitch that goals were few and far between last season.

I agree we are predictable in how we play but offensively teams have struggled to stop us scoring despite that predictability.

However, I agree, defensively we are showing the same frailties but that is hardly surprising because it has been basically the same personnel with the exception of the keeper. However, we have now signed Freckleton so it seems the management are aware of the issues.

So, I am struggling to understand why you are so convinced that there are a number of teams performing better than us and fail to comprehend why you have started this thread. I accept we all have opinions, I certainly have my own to, but with only 7 games played, scoring for fun, and being in the position we are in, I don't think you have put up a very strong argument to support your views.

You asked 3 questions.My answers are:

1. Yes
2. No
3. Take 4 points, or more, off Barnet.

Manchester City are predictable in how they play. If you do it well it’s hardly a bad thing.

[sophocles]

The O.P. Is so totally devoid of logical thought, that it’s clearly a very clumsy and obvious wind-up. It’s obvious that, with a bit of defensive tightening-up, we will be very hard to stop at this level, and probably the one above.

Go on then I’ll play. What other teams that have fewer points than us are performing better than us?

You are spot on, thought I would throw some comments on the team out there on the forum, and straight away no moans and groans from anyone. Before the post this forum was divided, moaning about certain players not good enough, comments about the manager and so on.

Let us see how long it takes for someone to moan about the team after this post. Ha Ha.

He should indeed be ready to play by now at whatever level is deemed appropriate. Perhaps the question could be raised tomorrow.

Grigg has scored 3 hasn’t he? 3 from 7 isn’t bad. Quigley has scored, Colclough has scored.

Scoring goals isn’t the issue we’ve got 19 in 7 seven games. Almost 3 a game.


We’re conceding to many largely from stupid decisions or mistakes by the defence.


IMO Cookie has gambled his defence is adequate enough for this division and signed a forward line not just to get us up this year but with an eye on next season as well. Next season with wages of our non playing strikers used to sign new defenders. I’d expect a whole new back 4 next season.

3 in 6 for Grigg. He didn’t play at Altrincham

We’ve scored more goals than any team in the top five divisions. I’d say we’re cutting through most defences at will.

Agree it should be 2 automatic plus play-off winner. Whatever it is, it should be uniform throughout the leagues. However can't agree it's a high standard. At times it can resemble school boy football and that includes us. That's not to say it can;t be entertaining when both teams open up but let's not kid ourselves for large parts it isn't a high standard
