Chesterfield v Swindon Town matchday thread

BBC have us top of the league. Would have expected it to be Chesterfield on alphabetical order. Anyone able to explain?

Didn’t really enjoy that apart for two moments by Wright. He dropped his shoulder and shot wide a few mins before what is likely to feature as a L2 goal of the season.

Thought we looked much more solid at the back, but unable to create anything at all going forward.

Chesterfield tipped for back to back promotions, so a point away from home is a good result.

Much as we all wanted Glatzel on the pitch, he didn’t do much.


Let’s see what happens over the next few weeks.

Great strike from Wright.

Smiths aerial ability and flick ons are as good as I expected. When we get some proper players buzzing around him then we’ll make good use of those, likewise when other players start reading them better.

Like what I see from Bignot so far, seems well detailed.

Other than that, not a lot to get overly excited about. First half was very poor, 2nd half better but still missing a creative spark in the middle, not good day for Cotterill. Not a fan of this more box to box role for Ofoborh, don’t think it suits him and also leaves us without him shielding the backline when opposition break on us and he’s still up the other end, let him just sit infront of the defence.

First half was appalling. Second half I wouldn't say we were good, but it was leaps and bounds better than the first.

One moment of shite by us. Outside of that, one moment of brilliance for us. Add that to one moment of shite from the ref for us. I think we're fortunate to have the point but will take it.

I guess Bycroft will get the blame for the goal but I’m not entirely convinced he didn’t have it kicked out his hands.

Just watched it back, he didn't have it in his hands

This will be the only time savour the moment😁

Sky coverage just stopped while showing the highlights, after freezing numerous times during the match..  Not the best of introductions to a new service

Same for me. Not good.

Illegal means was faultless.

I realised how much difference even a rubbish summariser makes. Commentator was fine, but it just felt very basic.

Worked fine for me apart form one tiny glitch in the second half which was barely noticeable. Sorry it didn't work so well for you, frustrating.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Would have gleefully grabbed a point with both hands before the game so I have to be happy with that. Absolute corker of a goal from Will Wright, obviously lots to work on....the reaction of the players at the end spoke volumes... I'm going to just enjoy the result without getting too analytical...

Second half was much better, but realistically, it couldn’t have got much worse than that first half. Chesterfield were poor in the second half, but whilst I thought we started to look better, apart from the worldie goal, did we have any other chance? Defensively we look much better than last season (once again, was it possible to be worse?) but we need someone to be getting on the end of Smith’s flick ons. He really impressed me in the second half and helped take pressure off us at the end

Well firstly I thought sky was a massive upgrade from ifollow.

You can't compare this team with last, everything is different.
I thought we already looked like we can defend. Wright and Hall were excellent. Can only get better, we looked solid.
I have absolutely no problem playing the long ball to smith to either hold up or knock on. Tippy tappy has got us fucking know where the last few years and I loved the more physical Swindon. I can see glatzel and smith becoming a deadly combination once they start knowing each others game.

I really enjoyed that. I feel we will be up there this season.
