I actually thought we could get something from this game but hey ho
A thumping win by Colchester which propels them in the play offs and can only wish them well
Fleetwood have had a more than decent season so they can hold their heads high. Now for mid table champions !!

After a decent opening ten minutes or so from us, I thought Fleetwood went on to have the better of the chances in the first half. At least three or four very decent opportunities and on another day that goes the other way. The second half was a different story, but I think that we scored the second goal so soon after the first played a big role in that.

A characteristically piss poor second half from us in a big game after characteristically missing at least 4 good chances to go ahead in the first half. Still Chesterfield were due a win after beasting them these last few years. Nottingham’s a shithole and they wanted to go home apparently.

I’m quite keen on the crappest promotion chase in history to be over and done with really, move on to next season.

Fair comments mate, Pete Wild echoed the same thing about missed chances. Some days they go in, another day just wide. You must be well pleased with your team and manager. How often does a team come from mid tableish, put together some cracking results at the back end of the season and before you know it there right on the mix. Don't slip up !

Harry Smith waving the Cheltenham player off there. Get your mortgage on him getting sent off next week.

I cannot stress enough how much we need Stuart Maynard to stop being our manager.

In keeping with our season we were quite good for one half and should’ve been at least a goal
ahead at the break, and then came out for the second with zero urgency or intensity whatsoever. In the end can’t complain about losing.

Thought Ches were what I expected really, a decent threat going forward and in all sorts of trouble every time we attacked with any sort of pace. Which, it being Maynard’s Notts, was not very often.

Every time we win at Bradford, it's somehow the ref's fault... Thought we adapted well after being on the ropes for the first half hour and stayed in the game long enough to nick it. Hard fought away performance versus a much better side than us - couldn't ask much more of the players than that considering how dire our away form is. First away win in five months!

(Harvey Saunders has a "knack" of winning penalties, shall we say. It's about the only thing he has to offer - terrible footballer. Should have been a sprinter). Best of luck to Bradford for the rest of the year, will miss Valley Parade next year if you (more than likely) go up [or if we go down].

Didn't see the game so can't comment but I've read the usual reviews and had reports from those in attendance of decent for 45 mins, poor for 45 mins. Should have been ahead at the break as the better side but for the usual missed chances. Hit the handbrake for the other 45 mins and offered next to nothing and obviously Maynard's fault.
That's been the story of the season the number of times we've played well for 60/70mins+ has been criminally low.

Had two bets due to generous odds one on the away win at 13/5 and went chesterfield to win 3-1 at 28/1. Tidy profit.

Title and top three gone. Fuck off City. Absolute losers.

I remember feeling like that at times last season when we lost home games we probably should have won- funnily enough against both Bradford and Tranmere. It's Bradfords year though.

Soft pen, and that celebration should be a red card offence.

We just tend to bitch, moan about the officials and talk endlessly about injuries every single week, especially when we lose, much less than certain clubs.

We did, 2-1 late on.
Good to see you're not sour though.

Maynard out.

It was a timely reminder of that run of refereeing decisions in recent years. Obviously yesterday, Elliot Watt’s red card when McManaman equalised at the death under Hughes, the main one of course when Ian Goodison took Kyle Reid’s head off with his elbow and Darren Drysdale only booked him (then failed to give a trip in the box on Mark Yates in the same game). Not that I’m counting, ‘They even themselves out over the season…..’ yeah right.

It’s funny you mention that game when Reid was nearly decapitated, because it was almost identical to the game yesterday. We were on a decent run, unbeaten at home. It was all City and Tranmere shithoused a 1-nil win with the aid of some horrendous officiating.

As a neutral and having viewed the penalty I can see why the ref gave it. Soft perhaps, but it looked like the Tranmere player nicked the ball and then went over the defenders foot.
Seen far far more dubious decisions than that one tbh

We can't blame the ref for missing chances. We had enough in the first half alone to win 2 games. When players are injured, you need the fringe players to step up, ours haven't and we certainly ran out of ideas after the pen. Well done on a hard fought game but how many times have you won a game where you haven't created a single chance? Would you have been happy if that pen had been awarded against you?
