Boden's one major skill is scoring goals and he scores a lot towards the end of games because he's spent a lot of his career coming off the sub's bench AND the scrambles in goalmouths near the end seem to be his environment of choice. Taking him off for a prick like Weir can't be justified. He can't score, attack or defend. Sheridan was giving one of his mates a run and hoping someone would turn the game around. Significantly Boden has played badly when paired with Fondop, which may simply be that he has been pushed out of the only position he can play.

If the club showed any affinity for its support I could take defeat and relegation down to the Hope Valley League, but as a club we are dead. The club is what it is presenting onfield, a disjointed warring mish mash. Sheridan is simply repeating his previous relegation season with us. He can spot and cure the mistakes predecessors make, but he is blind to his own errors and if he reacts he'll make them worse. Watch out for a new incarnation of Soderberg appearing.

One bright note, after last night's brace against Billericay, due to injury Ricky German has played just 88 minutes football this season. He's scored four so far, that's a goal every 22 minutes of his loan to Hemel Hempstead. On Saturday this bloke our fans said was too fat outspeeded Oxford City's defence to score. Levi Amantchi and Luke Rawson will soon be on the same pathway.

I simply have to stop doing this and caring about it. Chesterfield FC is a chimera.
