We were poor yesterday but at least we were robust instead.
Under Kennedy we were neither.
Holloway has got the defence playing as far more of a unit, and playing for each other. That is highly commendable, even Freckleton came in and although he made a few errors did pretty well considering and made one towering headed clearance late on. Under Kennedy all of our defenders looked like they had never even learnt to head a ball or tackle a player, the transformation has been incredible. Also so often Ofobroh protected the defence with some crunching tackles in the DMC position, something we have missed since the general left a few years ago. |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Since getting promoted out of the the national league they think they’re on the same path as Wrexham when in reality they’re no bigger than Mansfield and will never be a Derby, Leicester or Forest.  |

Reading the Chesterfield forum they think thats one of the worst games of football they have seen! You wait until you have been in L2 for a few years, that was shit but we have seen way shitter games than that! the wind didnt help the game though.
Missed the match as it clashed with the 6N. But if the extended highlights are an accurate representation, then I am not surprised that Chesterfield fans would say that. They didn’t have any attacking highlights! |

If the match stats are correct both teams had one attempt on target, ours was presumably the penalty & theirs was the fairly tame free kick just before half time, (albeit we had 10 total attempts to their 4). It just about sums up the quality of the game |

There was a telling moment in injury time when from a Chesterfield corner, Freckleton leapt to get a back post header away. If only he had done that versus Doncaster but that may have prolonged the agony with Kennedy. |

Some rumours that lad that went down injured broke his neck. The fact we've heard nothing since is really concerning. Really hope the lads okay.

Yeah the lack of a 'he's sitting up and chatting in hospital' type statement is... a concern. |

If they were certain he was fine they'd have said so by now.
If they have a doubt they could be waiting for specialist input, especially over a weekend.
Fingers crossed

Tyrone’s family are comforted by the fact that he is receiving the best possible care. They would like to express their appreciation of the support received from Chesterfield and Swindon supporters. We send our very best wishes to Tyrone and his family
