"New signing Brendan Moloney is a young player from Nottingham Forest and he is someone we have had our eye on, He is a central defender and right back and he has played a couple of games for Forest this season. I feel we needed cover as Kevin Gray and Phil Picken are going to be out. We played against Forest in a practice match and we have followed his progress since. Apart from Gray and Picken, Jack Lester is back from suspension we have a clean bill of health".

"Brentford are in form but we have the best away record. In Psychology it's called the Hawthorn approach a change is as good as a rest. It happens all over the country that teams tend to get better after a change of manager."

"Saturday was frustrating and galling and the best person wasn't Danny North it was the referee, I felt that Aaron Downes was fouled in the first goal and the second was never a penalty."

"There may be more activity, we have people in mind. I want people around the squad as we have a lot of games. I sent Adam Smith on loan early so that we can bring him back and have in the squad for the run-in after some games. In fairness to the Chairman and the Board, money has always been available we are one of the best teams for spending & ambition. Every case has to looked on it merits irrespective of Sky TV money and if a player is right we'll bring him in. I'd like to bring some more experience in, I have someone in mind if we can bring him here it remains to be seen, the young players have played well but if there are too many it can be a hindrance"

"Jack Lester signed a three year contract, he saw we were progressive and a few boxes were ticked and I want the best for Jack Lester and Chesterfield FC.  Every player has a price but it would have to be a very hefty transfer fee and somewhere Jack wanted to go.  I'm pretty confident Jack will be here at the end of the season and go to to see out his contract. I have had no offers and no enquiries."
