And now for seventh versus third

Charlton are now third in the form table with Notts County in the second slot who are enjoying a so-called 'quiet revolution' under Keith Curle.  If you look at the real table they have crept up so that they are now just two points behind the heroes of Hertfordshire.

Boosted by an influx of new players, Chesterfield are now up to seventh.    They have won three of their last six games and lost three.  In those games they have scored an average of one goal per match but have also conceded less than one goal.

In the real table they are, of course, rooted at the bottom.   Their home record is better than their away form, but even at the b2net stadium they have lost six games, drawn five and won only four.

At the beginning of the season, Four Four Two forecast a finish in 8th place for the Spireites noting, 'You have to go all the way back to 1951 for the last time the Spireites played in the second tier, but it doesn't take much firing of the imagination to envisage that next step now.   The only way is up, it would seem.'   Mind you, the same magazine had us in 18th place.

Keeper Tommy Lee is reported as making two 'brilliant' saves on Saturday, but Chesterfield are playing a very young back four.

It's going to be another hard match, but I think we will manage a 2-1 win.
