“Sheffield United showed their Premier League quality tonight but it’s nothing for Chesterfield fans to worry about.” “Friendlies aren’t for the fans in my opinion, they are for the players to get up to speed, they don’t really prove to much on how a seasons going to pan out, know one ever got promoted or relegated winning friendlies. I would sooner have a couple of beers than watch them to be honest, an save the energy, tears an stress levels for when the season gets going.” “Good work out, nothing more nothing less. Wholesale changes second half, development squad players getting a run out whilst they bring on million pound players. No comparison. Anyone who gets depressed by the result wants their head looking at.” “I accept your point but still found it increasingly depressing with every second half minute, good for the finances but nothing else” “humiliation on and off the field as expected” “Total humiliation”



“Friendly or not depressing. We are miles off. If nothing else shows the size of the task. Embarrassing” “Yep, that’s right we’ll be playing the premier standard of Sheffield United week in week out” “One of their players cost more than our clubs worth, that should put some perspective on it.” “The difference in these sides in comparison to where both were five years ago is frightening. Spireites were arguably a better team then. Blades a class above in every single area now. Easy in the end for United.” “We need players to beat National League teams at the current time, not Premier League teams. I know it sticks in the throat that we were on a par with the Blunts 4 short years ago & now there is a massive gulf but it really is irrelevant to our current plight. Sheridan is putting together a team I think will challenge so throwing toys out of the pram after tonight really isn’t necessary. Like I say, it still rankles but let’s keep our eyes on what’s immediately in fro nt of us, The National League & winning it.” “Is now a bad time to remind ourselves Wilder was seriously linked with our job?

But if memory serves our owner went for some Welsh bloke instead.”
