'Chesterfield need four wins to stay up but I think we can do better than that' says our Spireites fan writer

We have had three ‘six-pointers’ at home to Fylde, Wrexham and Ebbsfleet. I think if you had offered the average fan two wins and a draw from those three most people would have snapped your hand off.

Saturday's result effectively condemns Ebbsfleet to the National League South. I can't see how they can get out of it now.

Ebbsfleet could play a bit when they wanted to. Tactically they came to keep things tight but once Nathan Tyson's first one went in they had to gamble going forward and were left with gaps at the back.

Our opponents were one of the least effective sides we have seen at the Proact all season, their first shot on target in the 88th minute tells anyone how effective they were.

Post-match comments from Tyson about how hard the team trains and how even how competitive the pre-match warm-up is great to hear.

John Pemberton said that when he arrived at the club seven weeks ago Tom Denton "could have walked in under the door with a top hat and tails on he was that low.” It is comments like those that make you wonder how bad things had got under the previous regime.

Pemberton praised all the three centre-backs post-match and said it was Josef Yarney's best game for us. He looked calm and assured and was doing the right things. It was certainly good to see the him making runs to overlap Jordan Cropper. It adds another dimension to our attacking play that we've not seen for a while.

Realistically Chesterfield need four wins to stay up, but after Saturday most of us hope we can do better than that.

The table looks brighter now with the Spireites within three points of every team up to 15th in the National League table.

It is all about momentum now and the Blues have the wind in their sails so here's hoping we can end up nearer halfway than the bottom four.
