Kelly for me offers a lot. Him and Tilly hassling defensively was good. He not just chase she wins stuff, he’s got pace and he plays others into the game. Other than goals Stevens struggles, especially defensively. He’s working hard because he doesn’t have tha pace. But him and Browne together is also an issue because Browne isn’t a big defensive contributor either. Pigott looks completely gone now. Much as Kelly and Bugiel bring a huge amount around the pitch neither is scoring.

We won't go up but we will outperform our budget position.

Will we go up Bigg les?

Do you mean our manager? The only stat that counts is our league position. Which is pretty good.

Blimey, I thought Pigs was older than that. Maybe drop a division or two then. And/or go into coaching/management.

Mind boggling , shame we don't have stats on Jacksons performance this season!

Another Plough Lane By Numbers blog, this one on Stevens' lack of goals recently and reasons for it (spoiler: not his fault): [Link]

Pigs only 31, bromleys michael cheek 33,what a fantastic first football league season he's had.22 goals 7 assists

I've got a spare North East corner adult ticket for Port Vale if anyone is interested. Ry Stand block 120. Cost price £26. Post on here with contact details if interested. I could give it to you at Gillingham if you are going.

I think we should put Stevens and Kelly on the bench on Monday. Start with Foyo and Bugiel. Leave Piggott out completely - a great servant to the club but now a respected elder statesman due for retirement.

Morning all. If you can be bothered, SW19 on yesterday is now up - [Link]

It's hardly the fault of the CCL that Jersey fielded an ineligible player CW?

Marcus Browne being fir is the only way we will get promotion

I don't think anyone is saying that Chesterfield aren't a good side or we should have rolled them over. But we were terrible in possession and never looked remotely like scoring. Very different from the Plymouth promotion season. Play like this and promotion seems very unlikely indeed.

At least there are play offs in the Combined Counties these days unlike when we played in it

If Jersey beat T&M then I doubt anyone could claim that a 3 point deduction was incorrect. No idea how long ago the game was and it would have been good to get things sorted with a few games to go.

Wonder if mr Mansfield could help out the jersey boys? Anyone got his number?

Keefy, I agree with that. Joe shouldn't be hitting balls out for a goal-kick to them from the edge of our penalty area. 9 towns couldn't catch up with that one.

Yes Chesterfield are a good side with a decent manager but our kick and hope football was so poor. I don't think we managed to keep possession for more the 3/4 passes at any time all game. Promotion would be fantastic but probably would come straight down playing similar footbal. A long ball to Neufeville is our only tactict and along out of form strikers will mean will be playing Barnet next season.

One positive is that Foyo should be entertaining in L2 next season. Unless we manage two pen shoot out victories in the playoffs.

Play-off position? Possibly. Automatic promotion definitely not? Promotion through the play-offs? Only if the other sides screw up and we can score 1 or 2 goals a game.

As has been said, No34 was handy yesterday, but I also thought their No27 “Bim” (abbreviated from Aribusitamunoipirim) Pepple, a former Canadian Premier League player, was decent too - I wasn’t sorry to see him replaced, although it was by the ex MK player Colclough… Plus they had John Fleck, with plenty of Premier League and Championship games at Sheffield United under his belt. The idea that Chesterfield aren’t a very good side is daft - especially with the cunning dark arts master Paul Cook as manager…

CW jersey been deducted 3 points tonight eligible player disaster

Better than doing it after the last game though.

Port vale missed a penalty in injury time today too
