Allen: Chesterfield Moors Loss Was 'Appalling'

After getting back on track recently, the club are back in the bottom four after a sorry 4-0 home loss to Solihull Moors.

“I thought it was a very disappointing afternoon all-round,” he told the club’s website. “The first ten minutes, I thought our performance from defending set-plays, long balls, direct balls was appalling.

“Then every time they went forward, I thought they were going to score.

“It was an opportunity for some players coming into the team, who hadn’t been playing.

“I was expecting and hoping that they would come in and keep to the same standards that we had been playing to.

“But the standards were nowhere near it,” the former Barnet manager added.

"The players have got to stand up and be counted, you've got to man up and deal with it and face it.”
