Bristol City V Chesterfield
10th October 2014 k.o, 1500 hours
Venue Ashton Gate Attendance 12,.558

My heart goes out to all the faithful followers of Chesterfield, they are a team to take you through the whole range of emotions.This was one of those occasions when the result as expected was too close to call. The two teams drew 8-8 on fouls committed, possession was again a draw 50/50, even corner counts were a draw 7 – 7. So please can someone tell me how did we lose 3 – 2. In a surprisingly free flowing match, (yes despite those 16 fouls) this was end to end stuff, and not for the faint hearted.
There were chants, there was complaint, there were smiles but the best team did not win. There were two winning teams playing their best, in Chesterfields case for the third week on the trot, they gave their all. Only for cruel fate to let Bristol steal it in the 93 minute.
From kick off the game was on. Most notable events were;
8.00 a home goal by Ian Evatt, after Bristol City bring early pressure on Chesterfield`s defence.

24. Penalty Darrick Williams (BR) brings down Eoin Doyle inside the goal area. Doyle takes and scores with a right footed shot.

40. Daniel Johnsons shot from outside the area just misses the goal.

There then followed some entertaining end to end football. And just when you think it`s all over and you have the draw,
