All in all a heartening opening game for the season. Apart from the last 15 minutes when we seemed to go off the boil and could easily have lost the game we were far more organised and dare I say it exciting than many of the games I sat through last season. Matt Jarvis had a blinder - and scored the first goal - he should have had at least two. Then new signing Dean McDonald made it two. We looked like we were going to cruise through to a massive victory. But there have to be some hangover moments from last season I guess. The referee had a pretty good game - resorting to cards only when really necessary. Huddersfield were a team to fear last season - but we held them to a nil nil draw at their gaffe on my B-d and beat them at home during our 6 undefeated run which saw us safe. It may only be the first game of the season but if this sets the tone for the next 9 months then my initial reticence may need to be re-thought. It always feels good to win - but my head knows how fragile the leads and wins can be... Good start though! So a big grin from this ST holder. Let's hope it lasts! Puts us 4th!! So much for my negative predictions with Swansea Jack on Friday pm...
1 Chesterfield 1 3 3
2 Port Vale 1 3 3
3 Cheltenham 1 1 3
4 Gillingham 1 1 3
