Well here goes all the way from Havana in Cuba 🇨🇺 chesterfield at home should be 3 points but at home we seem to struggle against the so called leaser teams so with that in mind I will plumb for a very hard fought 2-1 win COYWM 😀

Welcome back Chip, hope you brought some good cigars with you to celebrate our forthcoming promotion?? You're right in that we have seemed to struggle against the supposedly lesser teams, especially in front of bigger crowds, which hopefully it will be on Saturday. That said, we didn't have ALF, Morais and Pratley in the side who have certainly transformed us in recent weeks. The football is still often as turgid with Parky's hoofball method but at least we now have a genuine attack that can score goals. I'm confident that will continue on Saturday and I see us winnng comfortably by 3 or 4 goals.

Well in fairness rftr, we should not be over expectant. We should have every right to expect a good win over a team second bottom of the table. I know exactly what you mean though, we have failed to actually impress all season but I think with the addition of ALF, Pratley and Morais we may just see the kind of performance we should expect to see from a team pushing for automatic promotion. I do think though that we need to start quickly, get an early goal and settle everybody's nerves.

We have to be confident about this one.
We need to continue this excellent run to shake Fleetwood off our backs.
Last week at Shrewsbury, we had to grind out a win. There was little quality football in our play but, at this stage of the season, results are all that matter.
It's an interesting one with respect to the crowd. If I remember correctly, last time we tried something similar in 2001 we had 20,000+ on against Grimsby and could only draw 2-2. But Chesterfield are in such poor form and we are a tremendously confident team that a win must be on.
Presumably Howard and Moxey will play with Long in if Madine fails a fitness test.
Not worried about Howard but Moxey has his bad spells so he needs to step up today and also in the next 2 difficult away games. Long is a different kettle of fish. He cannot play the Madine role so the side and manager must be sensible and adapt the way we play to use his pace.
A 2-0 win for me today.

I can't knock Parkys approach as it's clearly working but I get the sense his message will be patience, patience, patience. Like at Northampton we get out of jail. I would love us to go out and attack. Show them our quality and get a healthy lead. We're 2nd and they're near the bottom. Taking emotion out of the game and it's clearly one we should be winning

Well I won't complain just yet as it's only cost me a fiver but you'd be hard pressed to believe we were the home team after THAT first half!! COYWM I had a feeling this wouldn't be so easy

Fleetwood lost. That's a point gained. But what a waste of trying to get 24k fans back to watching weekly.
I plain don't like Parkinson's approach and called it before that he's so happy with a 0-0, he's freedman.2
I've serious reservations about him being our manager next season no matter what the end result is.
Such a waste. Both on and off the field today.

I think they will need to make it £1 v Bury to get that attendance again
It was an awful game full of hoofs, stumbling blunders and for Bolton next to no possession.
We defended competently and Morais took us forward until he all but gave in to exhaustion .
But the game bears no further analysis. Just awful. A couple of good Howard saves and a big scramble at the death. I think Le Fondre battled well but missed his chance when Clayton set him up and that soon became that.
Our system is tedious in the extreme but other results left us a further point to the good so on to Southend. I'm ashamed of myself for this but we really missed Madine!
Howard 7 Dervite 6 Wheater 6 Beevers 6 Spearing 4 Pratley 5 Vela 7 Le Fondre 6 Long 3 Morais 7 Clayton 4

Not like Freedman Oooom,. Freedman went for possession and painfully slow build up, parkinson favours no build up whatsoever just punts,hoofs and throws. Both are anathema

I had a bleak feeling about this result last week but what I'm really screaming out is that we have surely gained a hell of a lot of luck to be sat 2nd with a 7 point advantage on 3rd. That result today told me everything about PP and his hoofing tactics.. Why don't the players have a chat amongst themselves and go against any instructions from our leader and take the game to Chesterfield?? Chesterfield were crap but we were no better. I'll take the point gained but had Fleetwood won, that could have been an even worse result. Can't believe I was begging for a Madine today, let's hope he had impact V Southend next week COYWM

I agree Andy, chance to showcase in front of 23,000. Crowd did its bit, but long balls leading to Chesterfield attacks. We were lucky in the first half not to concede 2 or 3. BBC says 14 shots, 1 on target. Says it all.
