Sheridan under serious pressure yet Chesterfield fans?

 

[LongEatonPie]

We're the masters of throwing points away. We've led in every game bar one yet only have 7 points.

Join the club!

 

[Shotsfan1993]

Think our best chance of staying up this season is to find a loophole that allows us to play Woking 20 times between now and the end of the season

 

[LongEatonPie]

That's easy, well at least at home. Just put every opposition on the programmes and scoreboard as Woking, maybe buy 16 Woking kits too for the away team?

 

[Super_horns]

Can the promoted sides keep their good start up ?

 

[Redbank]

Comfortable win at Sutton this afternoon for Dover', keeping Dover's excellent record of not losing a league game on a plastic pitch, poor referee as usual, for the second match running a trip in the box lands a free kick outside the box.

For the first time this season Dover scored in the first half and yet again another header.... woeful finishing again , should have had 3 by half time expected more from Sutton perhaps the sun affected them than us , need to be at our best against Woking on Monday.....

Stockport have done ok and should stay up no problems
Torquay should stay up.
Woking have started very well - but they did that 2 seasons ago and then hardly got a point after Christmas and got relegated so anything is possible with them.
Chorley - haven't had a great start... yet.

We've done the same but only have six points. Frustrating isn't it.

 

[Jerry]

Well that was easy. Would be worried if I was a Shots fan as they were very poor. Another cracking goal from Reidy, just hope we can keep hold of him.

 

[spireite down]

A little due to the unforgivable situation of starting the season without any wide men or a left back and a rank shit midfield but many think that he's been sold a pup regarding playing budget

 

[East Bank Shot]

Yep great goal from Reid. We made it so easy for you tonight, no fight or creativity. You’ll be fine this season though & expect you lot will be top half. Majorly concerned to be honest, Searle’s honeymoon period is well and truly over, we’re over an eighth of the way through the season and we look dead certs for relegation. Can’t see 4 teams worse than us at the moment.

 

[MrGloverLover]

We're doomed.

A damning assessment from our manager. "I don't want to come out on a Saturday and watch this garbage"

Did he just describe Yeovil as a big club and Huish Park as a wonderful ground? Deluded

Putting their historical tinpotter status to one side there's no denying that Yeovil are a big club in comparison to 3/4's of teams in this league, can't comment on the wonderful ground like, never been.

Meh, suppose you’re right. Although the ground is certainly not wonderful!

Relative to the level we're now at yes we are one of the bigger clubs and our ground is one of the biggest. Why are you even on this forum?

 

[OneDecentLester]

Another game, another shower of sh*te

Never seen a team selection like it in that first half. Sheridan Jnr playing left back looked an absolute fish out of water, no where near good enough for this level him.

But do not get me started on that central midfield. Two ancient journeymen in Weir and Buchanan (yes, that’s our LB) in the middle of the park... both looked lost and were the main reason we couldn’t get a foothold in the game because both of them were hiding. Anthony gerrard is dreadful, I can’t see anything in him that I like. He’s fat, he’s slow, and he does this annoying thing with his shorts that just makes him look even more of a tool.

2nd half was an improvement but it was no surprise that came after bringing Yarney and Smith on, two players who should be starting week in week out, in their ACTUAL POSITION (RB and CM respectively).

As I mentioned a couple of games ago, until that central midfield is sorted we will do nothing in this league and be bottom half fodder. It’s been a problem area for 4 years now and it just seems to get worse season after season...

Stockport (A) next, my prediction being another draw, probably 1-1 or something

 

[Sparrow]

This league is awful.

 

[AJS]

No way we will get relegated based on what I've seen so far. I know Fylde have started poor but they will be up there come the end of the season and we made them look very ordinary at best today. We could have had 6/7.

Some baffling tactical decisions by Challoner though I must say. Danny Rowe starting at CM?!?! And then Duxbury ended up at centre back with Kosylo and another winger playing as full-backs. Why do Fylde seemingly have so many wingers? Reminds me of when FGR had about 8 strikers when they were down here.

We've had no wingers for the past 2 seasons and now we have 5. Yeah very strange playing danny Rowe centre midfield. Every credit to Halifax. Absolutely murdered us. Read this fylde chit chat thing on facebook and a good number of fylde fans were saying that the manager shouldnt be blamed. Crazy. The manager has really been backed this season. We've always had 4/5 loan players. Not this term so the buck has to stop with the manager. We have been shambolic this season.

We lost 7 players to football league clubs pre season and I genuinely believed that we would only miss Lynch. Maybe I was wrong. One thing is for sure, many people were telling me Montgomery is a class keeper. Jay lynch is a 100 times better and he saved us so many points last year.

It's a difficult one for me because challinor has done a good job for us. Been here a long time now and apart from this season he's had playing arguably the best football in the division. I dont know whether he has taken us as far as he can. Our owner has always backed him and has been extremely loyal to him but if we get beat on monday in my opinion he should be shown the door. I cant put into words how bad our performances have been this season. We dont look like scoring, nevermind beating teams so I'm amazed people keep saying we'll be right up there at the end of the season.

That's no discredit to halifax by the way. Certainly deserved the win. Back to back 4-1 defeats is shocking though

 

[SomeMightShay]

Chesterfield making an early attempt to beat last seasons effort and draw more games than any other side in the football pyramid.

Never really understood why we were favourites to go down with one of last seasons best defences remaining mostly unchanged bar the one at LB. (Duckworth is playing his best football ever for us). My only concern was up front as i knew very little about Sho Silva and we had little back up with Southwell out (he should thrive in this side when back fit). McAlinden lools equally comfortable wide and up front and was sublime yesterday.

New manager syndrome does normally bring a boost to teams though and a test will be when we hit a rut. Not from the palyers as i don't believe a dressing room with the experience and personnel we have will let heads drop. Our fans however are as fickle as most and quick to get delusions of grandeur and on the players/managers back at the first run of three games without a win. When the team is performing The Shay can be an 11th man but equally as toxic when they turn. Very early days yet.

Not having this.

Last season, pretty much every matchday thread had a Fylde fan (probably you) moaning about the terrible performance after a 1-0 victory following a Danny Rowe goal. Best football in the division my arse.

We're giving them a run for their money.

I just meant, he plays the game the right way but thinking about it yeah we we're pretty average last season as well. I dont know whether I want him gone or not. I'd be gutted if we got someone in and we played route 1 football but maybe you need a bit of that to get out of the division. We're too reliant on danny Rowe and this is his last year with us. He signed players to take the burden off danny and so far that hasn't happened

How did you play yesterday? Do you look like a team that's going to challenge?

Interesting to see how well bromley have started after a few on here tipped them up

Bromley were certainly one of my shouts to do well, but I also thought Chesterfield would go well, early days yet for everyone both at the top and at the arse of the league, let's see where everyone stands 15 or so games in.

If we sign a decent midfielder to replace Summerfield we'll certainly have one of, if not the best side on paper.
