I think other than Phil Bonnyman, Albert Holmes was my favourite player. I'm sure I once saw him slide from St Margaret's Drive, take the ball and finally come out looking slightly confused near Brockie Res. How he didn't play for a better team I'll never know. AND there is a duty encumbent on every Chesterfield fan to fcukupp Bob's Board.
We needed to recruit a midfield player who at a push could do a job at centre back when there are injuries - that kind of player. We didn't do it. We also needed a midfield player who would back up the forwards and look like scoring goals (which gives defenders more to think about). We didn't do it. We also needed pace because that terrifies defenders. We haven't much. So we can't press effectively and when we do win the ball we struggle to move ourselves and it with sufficient pace to leave the opposition behind. We give the opposition space and don't create enough for ourselves.
I've no confidence in Joe Anyon but we are giving him a pretty impossible job.
I'd love Pooch to be right. I'd love to be wrong. But we look like the next Orient. We're steering for the rocks and it ain't Ross Poldark on the beach waiting.
