Get Ponticelli on at half time.

He can't be any worse than Biamou can he?

Hate to point out the obvious, but wouldn't he be more effective coming on after halftime m8 ?

Are you watching? Don't think that's the right change just yet.

Cheating, diving, time wasting, fake injuries.......it's a big part of football now and seems worse at this level !

Willis playing well, as is Stokes and also Davies.

Been impressed too with Bayliss, McNulty AND Biamou.

Doyle poor though and DKE even more so. That one cross apart at the end, he has been pretty dire.

He’s won nothing all game in the air. He’s offered no holding ability either. To give any credit for mcnultys goal is beyond desperate.

Terrible game on a terrible pitch. Not that I'll be complaining if we win of course. We often play better in the 2nd half so hoping for an improvement after the break.

I think Biamou is still struggling with his head injury so wouldn't be surprised to see him come off which I think would be a big blow for us

Davies is class, Bayliss looking very good too

Not really, it looked like he headed it to his feet from a long kick.

If we bring him off, can bet we will be worse. He's had it to feet a few time and held it up and laid it off well.

Like the look of Kellett for them, but we have been affording them far too much space just outside our box. Need to rectify that.

Bit of a scrappy game. Chesterfield v poor going forward. Our Defence looks quite solid and Baylis having another good game but dke, Shipley and Doyle not playing well. Biamou snd mcnulty working well together without looking threatening (apart from goal)

Love their tactic of going down every time we are countering , that the refs fallen for all half

Give the corners to someone else, Robins. Shipley is rubbish.

Dke needs to start a fight with their left back to come out of the game with credit.

Doyle passing awful as well.

For the goal it actually came off the defender's head, Biamou didn't touch it.

Still think he's playing well and winning a few long balls. Not sure Ponticelli would have much of an effect on the game as it stands, though Biamou is struggling with injury so wouldn't be surprised to see him replaced.

That's the big worry. If a ref HAS to stop the game for a head injury, aren't we just going to see a lot more players claiming head injury?

For that one where the ref stopped the game when we were all but clean through, there was nothing wrong with the player.

It really does because ultimately a striker has to have some ability to hold the ball and create space and opportunity. All that happens with him is the ball just comes straight back to the opposition.

He literally offers nothing as a presence at all and it’s getting worse.

Was a header by the defender for McNulty's goal.


Think Biamou's done fine though. We're winning 1-0 against a team who concede many goals in the 2nd half - no need to change a thing as this game is going to open right up after half time.

Pretty sure he's had it to feet a few times and laid it off. I'd bet his pass completion is better than Doyle and dke.

Well no-one else in our squad would have been able to get near enough to the ball to force that mistake from the defender but definitely not his assist.

No the assist was by a defender - far better directed than biamou could ever have done.

Biamou has played very well today I would say. His touch has been very good and he has linked up well.
