AFCB restarted but kicked it all the way out for goal kick. a ball into Niven from the left found him in loads of space, he was able to put in a low shoot passed Stewart 0-1 47 mins. Hayter should then have scored from an Ainsworth cross his free header was put wide. Then on 62 mins, Shaw sent a hopeful ball through AFCB defence, which Larkin chased but Stewart had come out and then missed it completely and Larkin put it into the empty net. Cooper then went into a back three, and shortly after Fletcher replaced Howe. Cooke had a shoot blocked with chesterfield dropping deeper, but hall had an effort saved on the counter. Cummins then replaced hart, went to take a throw but ref told him he could not. AFCB corner saw Hayter shoot well wide. Then five minutes was shown of injury time, Hayter then came to blows with Picken after a challenge, both were yellow carded. Then with time up Shaw in space in box finished with ease. f/t 0-3
A poor second half display, first was even. but can not understand what they did in pre-season, as this was almost the same team as last season. Again does this prove O'Driscoll has no faith in new signings, with biggest squad in ages and management and board talking of championship think again?
Man Of The Match: This was a hard choice, two new signing did well but tired in second, but then the whole team tired in second half. So I find myself not being able to name anyone. Has SODs run out of ideas time will tell.
AFCB: Stewart, Purches, Hart, Howe, Broadhurst, Browning, Cooper, Ainsworth, Foley, Best, Hayter.
Subs: Moss, Cummings (for for Hart, 82), Cooke (for Browning, 8), Platt, Fletcher (for Howe, 75)
Steve Hunt, Shaftesbury
