Chesterfield back in trouble

It’s fair to say that didn’t qualify as one of the best Christmas series of fixtures ever on the pitch and off the field, who knows what is going on with the proposed club buyout?

We’re back in the bottom two it was simply an awful day at Accrington and judging by the post match interviews with Robbie Weir and Jack Lester they know we are in deep trouble. Before the massive spate of injuries it looked like Jack Lester had sorted the team out and with a little more of an addition to the forward line we’d have a good side and easily avoid the drop.
Now the defence is completely decimated and he has to start all over again and decide who are the best players and what formation to play.

Defensively, at Accrington our makeshift back line switched off for the first goal from a short corner. For Stanley’s second, all the fans at the back of the goal behind me were shouting for our back line to get out, don’t let their men turn or shoot, which was exactly what they did, although I have to say it was a brilliant finish by McConville. I think it’s best to draw a veil over the second half goals we conceded and remember that anyone can have a bad day at the office.

Up front we have only scored one in the last 6 games and that’s now a major concern in the last 2 games Kristian Dennis has barely received a single pass or cross despite the fact that we have played some good stuff in midfield but all our possession has added up to nothing. A lot of fans seem to think that Dennis is not showing any interest, but he’s being marked out of games with good positions being created but seemingly few players being prepared to shoot when the ball to our main striker isn’t on for a pass.

The next 3 home matches are now key, Luton is the biggest test of them all in this division and Stevenage and Crawley and real “must win” games.

Off the pitch it would be nice if there was some kind of statement from the club. Since we heard from Mr Carson that there was an interested buying party and the club was waiting on a non-refundable deposit, there has been no word. Is no news good news or is the whole thing off? Just a statement saying “Negotiations are on-going.” would calm a lot of nerves.
Whilst I was at the game at Accrington, a bird decided to leave a non-refundable deposit on my car windscreen, wiping it off wasn’t the most pleasant experience

So did the mentioned takeover ever really exist? I've seen Chinese people at the match are they still negotiating? Or was it all a load of baloney?
