After a promising start to the season, Town's fortunes took a turn for the worse this afternoon - falling 3-1 to Chesterfield at the Proact Stadium.
Despite coming alive in the second-half, the damage was done in the opening 45 minutes with the visitors second-best all over the pitch.
Goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux did his utmost to keep the scoreline respectable for the Robins, but even he couldn't stop the Spireites from taking the lead after 22-minutes.
Gary Liddle heading in after the Town keeper had done superbly to push a thunderous Ched Evans freekick onto the bar.
Chesterfield further added to their tally in first-half stoppage time with a well struck penalty, before Evans marked his Chesterfield home debut with a simple tap in 25-minutes from time.
Furlong gave Town a glimmer of hope with a couple of minutes to go, but in truth it was too little too late.
Luke Williams was less than impressed following the game "I told the players I’m shocked because I didn’t see that coming. Yes, some dips in some areas but not to that extent. It’s a huge shot across the bows. I expect us to perform to a certain level."
