Chesterfield_Ram Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Should be an interesting game. On paper we should win, but the Paul Warne style will bring Chesterfield into the game. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a high scoring game. Chesterfield have a 'we'll score more than you' mentality, which led to them scoring 100+ goals last season while breaking the record for the most goals conceded by a team winning the Conference / National League. Depends on who plays for us, but it would be a favourable match up with CBT and NML against their defence. They play with a very high line, but their defenders are very slow (too slow at times last season). A simple ball in behind caused them chaos plenty of times last season. Overall, it could be an interesting game, which you don't get too often in the early rounds of this. angieram and DE56Ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't realised they won the division, I just seen they lost 4 of their last 5 games and still finished on 98 points. It is good to see them back!

It is good to see them back! In March they were on track to break every record in the division, but everything fell apart after they played Dorking Wanderers on TV. On the bunch of amateurs documentary, which goes behind the scenes at Dorking, it showed how their manager took a week of work to find any weaknesses in Chesterfields team and it worked spectacularly. It ended up with semi- pro Dorking (in the relegation places) tearing Chesterfield apart. Through balls, quick counter attacks, everything on the floor, pressing high up the pitch. After that game every team chesterfield played had similar tactics, which worked unbelievably well. As I said it’s set up to be a good cup draw. Our style of play suits their attack, while their defensive fragility suits us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilkestonian Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Has anyone seen definite confirmation of what week the second round fixtures will be played? It seems odd (to me) that I can find the dates of every round other than round two 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s too early to say really. I do think the style we played last year would be more effective in the upcoming season, as teams will be trying to beat us as opposed to picking up a point. My point was that we could cause ourselves trouble if we sit back against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show me a poster who has drummed up more DCFC bejeweled enthusiasm (over the years I've been on this forum), (and constantly contributed to the club's coffers, for that matter) than the one you are (loosely) aiming these comments at, and I'll call BS! There's arguably only been the one poster, and sadly, he's no longer with us. You get a 👎 from me.

Thank you and I will be there again, of course. As won't the vast majority of season ticket holders. Usually just us regulars @jimtastic56 - I know you're another. Just not very inspiring opposition as we seem to play them regularly. (I'll be at Chesterfield for the friendly too.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
