Yest - bluepooch - 09-04-2017
Another decent performance and a much needed win on the back of a good performance last week ,delaying the inevitable by another week.I just want us to have a good end to the season so the season ticket waverers decide to renew.
All played decent apart from Donohue ,stand outs for me were Gardner ,Dennis and the young'un.
I really hope we can keep hold of Rowley as he will tear them apart next season ,he needs to be advised to stay with us rather than languish in a bigger clubs youth set up.
Im loving the clean sheets even though it was backs to the wall at times,we need to sign Stuckmann as competition for Tommy.
Caldwell has some big decisions on players to make in the summer .
RE: Yest - Devongone - 09-04-2017
Fourteen seems like the operative number. Isn't that fourteen games and two wins for Mr Caldwell? Last time we had fourteen shots on goal was his opening game in which we basically fielded Danny's team. It's taken a long time to get back to roughly where we were.
Of the six signings Mr Caldwell has made, only one is now a starter and he's a 36 year-old keeper. Not exactly fast forward into the future there either?
BUT Rowley and Maguire have been brought into the fold and are justifying their inclusion which is a huge step forward. And yes Pooch there is a danger once you show the world a young player ......... but the answer is surely to ask him to take a look at Dele Alli. His development, getting competitive games at MKD, has left him way ahead of of his contemporaries. The choice is being swallowed up amongst a lot of other good young players fighting for a place on the bench somewhere and games, experience and publicity! My hope is that Mr Caldwell is brave enough to grasp the nettle now and get a couple more of our youngsters onto the field before the end of the season.
I'm not that big on stats but FOURTEEN shots suggests we might be achieving some balance in our play (you don't win many if you struggle to get 4 shots). I reckon in football you need to give yourself enough chances to score without jeopardising your ability to defend. We have been in an either/or situation during most of Mr Caldwell's term, which I'm sure wouldn't satisfy him. We could defend only when we didn't do much in attack. I know Port Vale are nearly as poor as us and will probably accompany us on the drop, but a combination of fourteen efforts on goal and a clean sheet is hopeful.
Much as young Maguire will testify how much he learnt at Fylde it still strikes me he should have been learning on the field for us when points mattered. When he came back he had a poor game and we let in four, but you don't only learn by succeeding. The education he received may have been brutal but it might have done a world of good.
Much as I don't like or rate him, Stuckmann has done a decent job for us. Unfortunately for him, IF Tommy is going to be fit next season I can't see any sense in a small club keeping a 36 year-old reserve keeper unless he also became goalkeeping coach. Surely our second keeper should be about 15 years younger and improving? As Tommy has proved so effectively this season, thanks to our medical mismanagement and a bad decision from Danny, he isn't immortal.
Overall though Pooch you are right, if Mr Caldwell is staying, he has some knotty decisions to make over players. I can't ever remember looking at a Chesterfield squad before in which there isn't single player over 20 who you'd say WE HAVE TO KEEP HIM!

I thought that Rowley had signed a new contract?
RE: Yest - bluepooch - 09-04-2017
He signed a contract yesterday but that wont stop bigger clubs coming in for him ,it just means they will have to pay a fee.
RE: Yest - spireitematt - 09-04-2017
Isn't it odd. Good Friday 2011 we were promoted. Good Friday 2012 we were relegated. Good Friday 2017 we will be relegated.

A few rumours that Championship clubs were interested.
RE: Yest - Devongone - 10-04-2017
Matt, are you comparing Chesterfield FC to Jesus Christ? And why have we never experienced resurrection. Though I suppose with Ched Evans in your squad any kind of ection is dangerous.
If Joe Rowley were my son, much as I think Chesterfield is objectively a pretty crap club to be at, I'd be advising him to get a season under his belt in Division 2.
I saw young Kiwomya play in a Chelsea junior side. He looked like a flier. A real danger to any defender. He's been loaned around. Now he is sitting on the bench watching for 90 minutes during another loan at Crewe. QPR are fighting off suitors for their star youngster, Paul Furlong's son, but even a club of their modest stature have been ten years since they brought a youngster through the ranks to a regular first team berth.
Mr Rowley, let Joe stay with us and hope a couple more of his mates fit into the first team with him. The experience could be the key to long and successful careers for the lot of them.

No I'm not comparing Chesterfield FC to JC.
Joe Rowley looks like he could be playing in the Premier League or even England team in a few years.

Matt, somebody seems to have inadvertently nailed us to something resembling a cross in a recent weeks ............ I think it was DA, the God of Our Chequebook.
Concerning Joe, we have to remember one way to look like a genius is to get into a class full of dummies.
I notice we have given three more lads contracts - one Dylan Parkin the keeper. Surely he will therefore keep for the reserve team next season and sit on the first team bench?

If Dylan Parkin could be the reserve keeper for next season. Does that mean Allinson, Tommy or Stuckmann could be leaving?
RE: Yest - Devongone - 11-04-2017
Well that's what I was thinking .......
We give a pro' contract to a player, it usually means he is either a first teamer or reserve. We don't have a these age-group teams that top clubs run do we?
