Never a dull moment with the R's! Very ,very important 3 points where none was expected. Congratulations well in order. The second half though is not to be repeated.

the first half was the worst I can remember since the grim days of Steve Parkin.
Good to see a proper keeper who commands his box - can't see Keane getting back in...........
SE must realise that he needs JK to protect the back line.

I thought Martin was commanding all night,they were very wary of Cork's ability and backed off him all night so although i'm a fan of his i thought he could have done a little more.Lots of industry early on but no end product for most of the evening.Forte was static,cumbersome and looked every inch a league 1 plodder who lead the line with all the enthusiasm of a teenager on a family holiday.Our support was exceptional again and there was an almost lighthearted feeling amongst the away throng which made for,apart from the result,a thoroughly enjoyable evening.(and it only took me 40 minutes to get back to leafy Sutton).

Agree with geraldo that Lucas is far more vocal and has a presence that JK does not. Terrible performance again, this score was a let off as far as I'm concerned. We looking over our shoulder now, dark days ahead??

I wasn't there, but can see it minute by minute, in my mind, in detail!!! Frustration abound.... And... I hear the calls of get behind the team, support and shut up, that's what we're here for.... Why oh why why don't the players support us for a change? Go somewhere please
and practice the basics of your profession and have some pride, not necessarily in yourselves, but for the hundreds of supporters who do have pride!

Well said phil - we lacked the basics like passing to a blue shirt.
What SE seems to forget is that these players are getting paid a decent wage ( more than the average supporter) and they ought to be able to perform the basics of their job
Don't think that SE will be here post Xmas......................

Chesterfield should have won by 4. Lucas was fortunate (and played well) that poor finishing meant he only conceeded one via a deflection.

Nobody would then be talking about boxes being commanded and presence - Lucas would have been unfairly criticised, just as Kean has been. As it was, Lucas did ok, just as Kean has done, just as Edwards did. Our keepers have been fine.

On the other hand our defenders have been poor all season and our general defending embarrassing, gifting goals that no keeper would stand a chance with.

Actually, same as our home 'support'. Poor and embarrassing all season.

It's an age old problem Elad. Start the season poor, at some stage they'll put a run together, then a crowd of 3,500 will turn up and then the players in front of the 'new' support will put in a shambles of a performance, back to square one, sadly it's always been thus! I

Anyone believing SE can keep us in this league is now deluding themselves. We are going down faster than the Titanic. Time to make way Steve.

Very very good and a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Excellent football and as good as last Saturday was awful.
