Tyson Hat Trick gives hope to the Blues

There's more than light at the end of the tunnel after Saturday's amazing turnaround, a scrppy game being ruined by the wind and one substituiton makes all the difference and we all know what came next from Nathan Tyson. We've had 3 six pointers at home Fylde, Wrexham and Ebbsfleet, if you'd have offered the average fan 2 wins and a draw from those 3, most people would have snapped your hand off.

Saturday's result effectively condmens Ebbsfleet to the National League South, I can't see how they can get out of it now. Our opponents were one of the least effective sides we've seen at the Proact all season, their first shot on target in the 88th minute tells anyone how effective they were. 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.

Post match comments from Nathan Tyson about how hard the team trains and even pre match how competitive the warm up is tells a story, so do the comments from John Pemberton that even though the surafce at the training ground has suffered, the team are raring to get into practice early. John Pemberton also said about Tom Denton that when he arrived at the club 7 weeks ago, the giant striker "Could have walked in under the door with a top hat and tails on, he was that low"  It's comments like those that make you wonder how bad things had got under the previous regime.
Pemberton had praise for 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 centre back making runs to overlap Cropper in the second half, it adds another dimension to our attacking play that we've not seen for a while.

Realistically Chesterfield need 4 wins to stay up, but after Saturday most of us hope we can do better than that
On to the Harrogate game John Pemberton says he's watched them and they are very good, certainly they deserved to beat us in the previous fixture and they hve now won nine out of their last eleven games and are pushing Barrow hard for the title. I'm also looking forward to our next away game at Chorley just to see the idiosyncratic nature of the ground, which boasts a very small stand perched a top a grassy bank on one side of the pitch

The table lookes brighter now with Chesterfield within 3 points of every team up to 15th in the table; post match Nathan Tyson was quite up beat as you'd expect, saying that teams can often find it hard when they think they've done enough only for sides in the relgation zone to go on a winning run and drag them back into the mire. It's all about momentum now and Chesterfield have the wind in their sails so here's hoping we can end up nearer half way than the bottom 4.
