Are Chesterfield ACTUALLY As Good As Everybody Thinks?! (Chesterfield vs Swindon Vlog)

[@HarveyMorland]

Swindon fan here who was at the game....lovely ground and great atmosphere for your first game back. Good luck until we next meet!

[@CFCisaacs]

If you watch the highlights you can see that tackle and it was a stonewall pen, didnt touch the ball. Just went through him and played injured.

[@TFHipster]

I saw the replay when I got to the hotel… it was even worse than it looked from my seat! Terrible decision and I’m surprised it’s not been talked about more

[@MrTallMW]

As a Chesterfield fan myself I don't think you'll find many of us who think we're THAT good and expect to get promoted again. We know our limitations. It's all about continual progress on and off the pitch - however slow it is.

[@artful1967]

Yes we are. Thanks for asking the question. The ref was certainly not as good as he thinks.

[@azabrown]

Definite penalty. We always get shit refs

[@luciocancellara4995]

Enjoyed this ,well done for coming ,fair assessment of the game although had the 100% nailed on pen been awarded it would have been an easy 3 points. 4 players missing so let's see where we are in 9/10 games time,

[@TheDevonMackem]

TFH VLOGS ARE FINALLY BACK!! I genuinely love your more walk and talk kind of ones ❤

[@Thejim0212]

As a Chesterfield fan I think we will get top half of the table easily and possibly playoffs but I don't reckon we will get autos unless we adapt to league 2 quickly and we don't suffer anymore injuries.

[@thefalcon256]

Lower mid, just surviving

[@DavidSmith-cx8dg]

Cookie is a Manger who knows the lower leagues inside out and got Pompey promoted as champions from league two then Wigan as well as Chesterfield before that . They put us out of the cup last year and were as good as most league one sides we played . Swindon did really well to get back in that game .

[@TFHipster]

No idea where they pulled the at second half display from! They were better; but I feel like chesterfield were perhaps a little too comfortable, then got shook and it took them a while to get back into it. Positives and negatives for both teams though and a lot of possibility for both as well. You guys have a great coach though like you said and you’re heading in the right direction!

[@adamhenry2744]

Our 3 main centre backs were injured in pre-season so the back 4 was 3 new players and our usual CDM Naylor. Having Naylor at the back meant we missed him in the middle and didn't really have anyone to break up Swindon's play in the second half, hence their CB strolling straight through the middle and equalising. Poor goal to concede, but our keeper didn't have a save to make otherwise and it should've been 2-0 in the first half. Felt a draw was harsh tbh.

[@TFHipster]

Completely agree! I think it was chesterfields to lose, and that referee decision was a shocker!! Given time you guys are only going to get better so hopefully it’s a good season for you guys!

[@sah_19]

I predicted Chesterfield to finish 3rd. They have a strong squad. Naylor,Dobra,Grigg Madden and the other lads can surely compete in this league. Paddy Madden led Stockport to win the league last year. Can he do it with Chesterfield too?

[@ashleyw6728]

Not when he's bloody injured😂

[@Honourable66]

we have quite a few new players yet to gel, the newest "Tanto" only signing on Thursday. if we make it into the top 7 i'll be more than happy.

[@philipkeersnufc4160]

Great Vlog mate 👍

[@TFHipster]

Thank you mate! ❤️

[@UKSkol]

commenting after our 5-0 win away Yesterday.. still 15th? :P

[@TFHipster]

Fine you’ve got me… 14th then! 😉😂

[@captainfrandad1138]

Bookies making Chesterfield title favourites was always dumb. Sure we want back to back titles but that’s different from saying it will definitely happen. Personally I don’t have a clue where we will end up but it will be higher than 15th.

[@tomfirth2016]

Think yesterday at crewe shows our intentions top 3 chesterfield all day long.

[@andy1962ish]

Robbed of a stonewall penalty by an incompetant ref.

[@TFHipster]

One of, if not the worst referee decisions I’ve ever seen… it doesn’t get much clearer than that… even worse when I saw the replay!

[@paulhdean]

Think your predictions for both are low. Think chesterfield can squeak into the top 10 and Swindon will be comfortably mid table . Great footage btw - what camera are you using ? Shows it was a def pen .

[@TFHipster]

Thank you mate! I literally use my iPhone so nothing overly mad! Fair predictions as well, this game has opened my mind a lot for the rest of their seasons!

[@grahambritt3733]

good footage fellah! up the Spireites.....

[@TFHipster]

Thank you mate! Good luck for the rest of your season ❤️

[@thefalcon256]

Chesterfield will draw a lot games. They always do

[@shaunoliver1703]

I said to a friend of mine I think Bromley are better than people are saying and Chesterfield are worse. We shall see come end of season.

[@artful1967]

I find that tough to believe...that you have friends

[@shaunoliver1703]

@@artful1967 Ha - It's only football pal, don't take it too seriously. For the record I have you guys in top 7 but I don't think you will be top 3 as much as I don't think Bromley are getting relegated.

[@MrTallMW]

I've no gripe with Bromley at all. They've done incredibly well. They did have the massive advantage of playing on a plastic pitch every fortnight though.

[@DOBS13]

Bromley are good at counterattacking football, that is literally it, anti football merchants, they won't get relegated but they'll be like sutton and it won't be long, Only reason they got promoted was the mass of points on their plastic pitch, without that they'd be a top half to midtable NL team still

[@TFHipster]

I think that’s a fair take and one that I agree with!

[@slxya290]

see the result against crewe mate??? 😂

[@DOBS13]

Would have took 1-1 before game started tbf, wrexham got promoted and they conceded 5 goals opening game, stockport also lost. Do feel frustrated at the fact we should have had a nailed on pen, and swindon did absolutely naff and only had 1 shot on target and it was that thundercunt of a strike😅🤦‍♂️ 60% possession, more shots/shots on target and we was the ones going for the winner fills me with more confidence. Second half showed them too much respect and let them play in patches. Still need some new signings+paddy madden back in a couple of weeks. Lets see where we are 10-15 games in

[@richiehewitt5261]

Like your comment on the game , if it wasn't for the ref we would have beaten Swindon,if that's the sort of referees we going to get next season god help all the teams in league 2, Bye the way that wasn't our first team squad ,we have injuries all our centrehalfs are out and our new sticker, you watch when they all back fit

[@ItsWazzza]

They could end up fifteenth, considering that no other league two matches have been played yet as of writing this (12:30 August 10), really too early to call

[@tonywebster8959]

Who is bothered about your opinions,

[@williamdeypres1122]

Chesterfield were a League One sIde playing in the National League. You obviously didn't know that.

[@patrickdeacon3392]

Wrexham did 🙄

[@DrWatabe]

I hope chesterfield gets relegated, defo not a stags fan

[@Malabus73]

Cheltenham will win L2.

[@TFHipster]

Big call!! I’m interested to see if you’re right!

[@richardbarbaraburns9868]

Lol

[@peel557]

Hate to break it to chesterfield, but they seem like notts last season. Predicted to be top but will soon fall apart (I think). I think in some days they will look like one of the best in the league and the next week the worst. They just need better players but see how it goes for them.

[@TFHipster]

I think that’s the perfect comparison mate and I totally agree! How d’you fancy your chances this season?

[@ashleyw6728]

Well you look worse this year than you did last year so does that mean your getting relegation

[@richardbarbaraburns9868]

Chesterfield will be struggling to stay in league 2 we give too many goals away, we just let teams come at us and take control . It's not hard to break and Sus out our tactics.

Scored 106 goals last season what the chuff you on about , yes poor goal to concede but that was the ONLY shot on goal!! Get a grip enjoy the ride and don’t be so critical 1 game, just remember had the ref given the stone wall pen 2:0 up would be game over

At least give them 10 games before your start slagging off, unbelievable so called fan can be so critical. Good job Cook won’t see this dribble
