It was certainly a game of two halves on Saturday. A fluid
and thoroughly enjoyable first half. Much of which was bossed by
Charlton, and but for the Spirite's goalkeeper we really could have gone in at
half time with a handful of goals and the game well and truly put to bed.
The highlight for me was the text book training ground free kick
that resulted in our second goal from Jackson.
The second half I can only assume the game plan had changed and
the team were asked to drop back a bit deeper and defend the two goal lead that
had been established. It was much later, and after Chesterfield had
pulled one back from a penalty, that we seemed to wake up and start having a go
again. It proved that attack is the best form of defence, as this enabled
us to ride out the rest of the match more comfortable but also nick a last gasp
goal to further improve our goal difference as we sit proudly top of the third
division 3 points clear of Sheffield United with a game in hand.
The lowlight of the game on Saturday was another example of the
awful match officials at this level.
To be fair the penalty given was definitely a penalty. In the
second half, and I was in line with it, one of the worst offside decisions I’ve
seen in a long time was given against us. And the booking of Taylor for
simulation, when he was clearly tripped was quite simply laughable.
On to Milton Keynes tomorrow night. If we get the three points out
of that one I really will start believing this is going to be our season.
At long last.
