Cherries: Spireites end long unbeaten away run
7:00am Saturday 28th January 2012 in Sport
LIAM Ridehalgh bagged the only goal of the game as Cherries’ impressive unbeaten away run was ended by League One strugglers Chesterfield last night.
Ridehalgh’s stunning strike earned the Spireites a precious victory in their battle to avoid the drop as Cherries’ colours were lowered for the first time on the road since early September.
Boss Lee Bradbury made two changes to the Cherries starting line-up with Shaun MacDonald and Steven Gregory drafted in for Michael Symes and Harry Arter.
Arter was ruled out after suffering a dead leg in training, while Symes dropped down to the bench as Bradbury opted for a switch in formation.
Gregory acted as a shield in front of the back four, while Wes Fogden and Marc Pugh supported lone striker Wes Thomas.
Chesterfield were penned inside their own half for long periods of the first 45 minutes, although the Spireites did lay claim to the clearest goalscoring opportunity.
It came after Cherries defender Stephane Zubar had squandered possession three minutes before the break, gifting Jack Lester a run on goal.
However, after the veteran striker had advanced to the edge of the 18-yard box, his powerful left-foot drive was well saved by Darryl Flahavan.
Cherries made most of the early running with the visitors’ midfield dictating proceedings as Chesterfield were forced to defend in numbers.
MacDonald fashioned the first chance after 10 minutes, the Welshman screwing his shot wide from a central position.
Cherries had a flimsy appeal for a penalty waved away by Premier League referee Andre Marriner after Pugh had gone to ground under a challenge by James Hurst in the 16th minute.
Fogden seized on a slack pass from Josh Thompson midway through the first half, only to drag his shot well wide of the target.
Spireites goalkeeper Tommy Lee was called into action to parry a header from Thomas, the Cherries striker meeting Pugh’s excellent delivery from a corner.
Chesterfield threatened for the first time six minuntes before half-time when Thompson headed over following a Liam Ridehalgh free kick, with Simon Francis booked for a foul in the lead up.
As the first half drew to a close, Lester went close to breaking the deadlock, only for Flahavan to save the day for Cherries with a fine stop.
Fogden went close to opening the scoring at the start of the second half, the midfielder stretching to meet Pugh’s cross with a header that flew wide.
Flahavan again thwarted Lester, the Cherries goalkeeper diving full length to his right to claw away the striker’s low effort which had been destined for the bottom corner.
Ridehalgh bagged what proved to be the only goal of the contest after 54 minutes, the midfielder’s thunderous drive rocketing into the roof of the net to give Flahavan no chance.
Cherries supporters, who had travelled to Derbyshire in their numbers, were convinced Bradbury’s men had levelled, only for Cook’s header to drop the wrong side of the upright.
A delicate chip from Pugh landed on the roof of the net before Lee saved smartly after Thomas had let fly with a crisp low drive from around 12 yards.
Lee got down to snaffle an angled shot from Thomas before substitute Symes went close to grabbing a dramatic late leveller, his strike blocked by a defender.
Cherries (4-1-4-1): Flahavan, Francis, Zubar, Cook, Daniels, Fogden, Gregory, MacDonald (Fletcher, 76), Purches (Symes, 64), Pugh, Thomas.
Unused subs: Carmichael, Cummings, Jalal (g/k).
Booked: Francis.
Spireites (4-4-2): Lee, Hurst, Thompson, Trotman, Robertson, Talbot, Davis, Allott, Ridehalgh, Lester, Boden (Bowery, 79).
Unused subs: Whitaker, Mendy, Smith, Fleming (g/k).
Referee: Andre Marriner (West Midlands).
Attendance: 6,958 (inc 599 away fans).

As an aside, 6958 at the match last night. Considering Chesterfield's historic level of support, to be averaging 6600 for a team at the bottom of the league is quite an upturn. Considering the town's population is only 70,000 against Bournemouth/Poole being 350,000 it certainly highlights just how apathetic we are in this area when it comes to the football club.

But HEY, a play off would be great and IF we went up so much the better. But the football ispretty dire stuff at the moment and once Lee can actually play his BEST team on a regular basis THEN we would hopefully see a great improvement on the pitch, instead of just grinding results out. There was also a valid point made by Lee during the week, that we are now a scalp, something we must get used too perhaps.... UTCIAD

Sorry to be negative but I can't see us going up this season unless we sign someone this week who can score 20 goals between now and May.
I know the club are seeking a striker but the names linked with a move here so far are either not good enough (Eastwood, McQuoid), massively overrated (Tubbs) or not prepared to play in League One (Vokes). A loan move for Brett Pitman would be a good solution but I can't see that happening either.
Five convincing wins on the trot now will be the only way to get the season back on track. UTCIAD!

I really think we need to better support Wes Thomas -he must be beginning to get disillusioned - he's a real target man, but he's not got anyone around to protect him when he constantly gets clattered.
We haven't begun to learn the art of finishing-off opponents early -hence the tangible relief at the final whistle in almost every game -apart from last night.
A very LONG journey home!

Was very impressed by Daniels in the first half, clearly a class act. Also some sympathy for Thomas who didn't get much any protection from the ref.
I was a bit concerned about the bench - not much creativity on there so not many options to really change the game. Very strange ending up with Thomas, Supa and Symes all on at the end and to be honest it never looked like working.

Listened to the commentary on cherries player last night,and was surprised with the tactics employed.If WT is going to play the lone striker role,it had to be Fogden playing in the hole,he has the biggest engine to close down defenders and cause problems.It worked so well before and Thomas enjoys the link up play with him.I can understand that Malone wasnt available to offer another winger,but out of such a large squad surely somebody could have filled that role.It looked very desperate bringing on Symes and Fletch,if we are such a good footballing side we should persevere with just that,and believe that good football will prevail.I must say that these things happen on cold january friday nights,and we should get our heads up and move on.Play offs ?probably a little too much to expect really,but all the time the lads are working as hard as they are,you never know

Of course, if you compare what you see at DC with what the teams at the top (and only the top) of the premiership produce then you will be disappointed. Apart from the top of the premiership, the rest of the league is fairly mediocre.

Disappointing result but we had to lose away at some point! Was watching Sky sports news, apparently Chesterfield were lucky, we were the better side overall; and imo their goal was a cracker! I don't think we'll make the playoffs this season, but next season I believe could be decisive, with the right players bought in! Onward and upward! UTCIAD!

1) We played a strong game but could have played harder and got a couple in ourselves. Stop calling for Bradders head just because lost a game after two home wins and a long unbeaten away run. It was going to happen eventually, as disappointing as it was.
2) Bournemouth is not a renowned football town but it has had football for over a century and has certainly made its name in football. Thankfully Eddie and the board are TRYING to get more presence for the club in the town.
3) Thank you to all the other hundreds who came up (half of which who weren't on the coaches) and showed your support (less so the small minority who were involved after the match).
Just remember, keep singing for the club not for change within it - if the powers that be are so inept why are we in the upper end of the table pushing for the playoffs, and not at the bottom facing certain relegation? Support the club and the team!

You are right about a star, it's getting someone to drop into Div 1. I would say that's more of a possibility come the close season.... UTCIAD
Let's get Defoe on loan again! And then I woke up! Do something Bradders. You need a star to bring in more fans.
