    STRENGTHS

    - Chesterfield are very good at pressing high up the pitch and winning
    the ball back quickly.
    - Both full backs are very eager to press high and also get involved in
    attacking moves Jeff King (20) is especially good at this. During this
    game he attempted 12 dribbles and completed 9. He also put 7 crosses
    into the box
    - Horton (3) is also keen to get forward and he provided 6 crosses into
    the box during this game.
    - Grimes (5) is brilliant in the air and won 7 out of 7 Aerial duels.
    - Chesterfield have players in midfield who are comfortable playing 1 and
    2 touch football and use this technique to play the ball from the
    defensive line up to Grigg regularly and with a high degree of success.
    - Grigg is a very good finisher and he had 4 shots in this game all were
    on target and all were from different positions and angles.
    WEAKNESSES

    - Chesterfield like to press high continually during the game and this
    leaves the 2 CBs exposed due to the full backs pressing high and
    Ebbsfleets first goal exposed this weakness after 45 seconds.
    - Central Defender Williams was targeted during this game he was
    regularly out of position and only won 3 of 10 tackles and gave
    possession away 6 times.
    - Horton and King, although they get forward well the final ball into the
    box is very inaccurate and out of the 13 combined crosses they
    supplied only 1 was accurate.
    - The willingness to press all game leaves Chesterfield visibly tired
    around the 70 minute mark and Ebbsfleet came into the game more
    when this drop off in effort was occurring.
    - The midfield and central defenders do not like to be ran at directly,they
    struggled in the second half when Ebbsfleet’s substitutes dribbled with
    the ball.
    Jeff King heatmap - Shows his attacking intent but also the gaps that
    he leaves behind him.
    Branden Horton heatmap - Shows how like King he presses forwards
    but leaves gaps behind him.
    Attacking Play

    - Chesterfield attack with a mix of direct play, measured build up play and fast
    passes through all parts of the pitch.
    - They keep their shape well and move across and up the pitch in formation.
    - The Goalkeeper goes short when Chesterfield feel they are in control of the
    game but he goes long quickly for counter attacks and if Chesterfield are
    chasing a goal.
    - Dobra and Mandeville are skillful players who use both feet well and can
    change flanks, they are comfortable cutting inside also.
    - Oldaker and Naylor line up as DM but play more box to box. They are very
    insync with each other and can play the ball through the 3rds or hit a long ball
    accurately.
    - Jacobs is a very hardworking AM who can pass accurately both short and
    long, he also like to look for a through ball,he tried this 4 times successfully.
    - Grigg drops deep and allows Dobra,Mandeville and Jacobs to run past him.
    Defensive Play

    - Chesterfield like to defend from the front quickly and aggressively. There is
    no specific trigger point for the press, as soon as the ball is in play they
    press.
    - Grimes is key at the back,his aerial ability is impressive and he like to press
    the attackers quickly and aggressively.
    - Oldaker and Naylor move across the pitch constantly and take turns to drop
    into defensive when under pressure.
    - The wide players will get back and defend and tuck in when necessary.
    - Chesterfield will not hesitate to play the ball long out of defence if under
    pressure.

    HOW TO APPROACH CHESTERFIELD

    - Chesterfield during this game gave away possession 98 times and if


    Ebbsfleet were better on the ball the result could have been different,be
    patient and disciplined use the ball well when you win it back.
    - Ebbsleet were given 6 clear counter attacking opportunities during this
    game including for the goal after 45 seconds due to the high full backs.
    Tyrer in goal made 3 good saves but the efforts were straight at him,the
    2 goals came from shots going across his right side.
    - The full backs get forward with no thought about what's coming
    back,win the ball back and move it quickly into the space left by the full
    backs and you will create opportunities to get shots on goal.
    - Chesterfield tire due to the intense pressing style, from 70 minutes the
    press was not as intense and allowed Ebbsfleet more attacking
    opportunities
    - If going long stay away from Grimes at the back.
