Well Lee a big test to highly fancied Peterborough United

 

I think they are the team that most people see as the team to beat with all the money they have invested heavily in the playing squad and they are probably the Chelsea or Manchester United of the our Division. But with that investment comes pressure to live with that expectation.

 

So how are you going to beat them?

 

We are another fancied team and we are a team who believe in ourselves. But we will have to defend well to get anything from the game.  So it will be a difficult game and they have started well at home, but we are confident that even though as yet we haven't really started firing on all cylinders as yet, it's an opportunity to get our first win.

 

What's the team news?

 

Nicky Travis as been unfortunate to pick up an ankle injury and he's having treatment at Sheffield United, but hopefully he will return in a couple of weeks or so. Jamie Ward and Gareth Davies are still missing. Other than checking on Aaron Downes's head injury we have a fully fit squad.

 

So perhaps a chance for Jamie Jackson to shine?

 

Jamie's a young player with lots of potential and at the moment that's all it is. He's got lots of things to work on like a lot of our younger players at the club need to do to improve their game.

 

Are Jamie Winter and Peter Leven getting fitter?

 

They were a little behind the rest of the players fitness wise but after three games in a week they are improving all the time.

 

The transfer window closes next week will Chesterfield be looking to add to the squad?

 

With the increased backroom staff we now have more people to go and watch games and players. We are always looking to improve the squad. So if the right players available we will be trying to bring them in.
