Chesterfield is now up to 13th place in the Covid league, nestling in behind most of South Wales and bits of Scotland.
On this form and having beaten Southend with a team I wouldn't have been confident of against Borrowash Victoria, maybe we are going to take the Second Round seriously with its promise of a money-spinning third round tie, if successful.
Salford looked poor to me too against the Daggers. Had McCallum been available I'm sure they would have won. Indeed if Balanta had played, instead of whatever it was he was doing, that would have been enough. BUT, and like Cyril Smith, it is a big but, Salford have injuries too and have been completely out of form as well. There is much more to come from them, too. They've started winning, if not really playing. If they get it together it is a really tough ask for us - especially if we decide the league is our priority.
I hope Buxton profit from drawing Morecambe. Certainly the three away fans won't boost the gate, but we've spent years losing to the Erics, so I hope Diego can bring "Silverlands" some sunshine.
Come to think of it a Chesterfield v Buxton third round tie would be great, the winner gets Everton at home in the fourth round, who either of us could dream might slip up ....... until Calvert-Lewin's first half hat trick.
