Talking Points: A Jersey Mike's Sub Short of A Picnic

What a game! 'From Despair to Where' as the Manic Street Preachers once said. At 3-1 down it could have turned toxic against the Spireites, but up popped Dylan Duffy with an absolute belter of a strike. It was a stunner. That goal was key for the supporters not turning against Chesterfield in an astonishing contest with their most bitter of rivals.
A vital moment in the dynamic of the game for me was the timing of Joel Randall’s goal which changed the course of the changing room talks. All of a sudden Chesterfield felt they were in the game against a strong Stags side.
That second half though! Well, final half hour! The momentum shift from Regan Hendry bagging Mansfield’s third to Liam Mandeville sending the Stags fans home with a confident goodbye was remarkable.
