"Lincoln are the form team at the moment. It'll be much more difficult than the away match and I've been proven sort of correct by stating previously their position was likely to improve. We are anticipating a much tougher game this time and they could, at a push, be an outside bet for a play-off place themselves, so it won't be an easy game by any means."

"We have everyone bar Gregor Robertson fit.  It's tempting to keep the same team but you have to take a game on its merits and we have two games in four days so Monday maybe different depending what happens on Friday. We probably have made the balance of the team stronger as our full backs have perhaps been less adventurous and we have been more compact in midfield. We limited Brentford and Rochdale to less chances as we've been in front in so many games and let the lead slip, and those games have come back to haunt us.  If we had maybe more of those one nil victories we would be in an even better position."

"I was one of Peter Jackson's first signings when he first took over at Huddersfield and was part of the "great escape" where we had four points from eleven games and moved from bottom upto a comfortable midtable position. I am not surprised he's doing the same at Lincoln.  Life is life and we wish him all the best from here at Chesterfield for a speedy recovery.  Iffy Onoura has taken over and he is experienced so I doubt it really affect things on the pitch.  I hope Peter gets a clean bill of health but as far as tomorrow night is concerned it's a game of football and we want the three points."

"Friday night football under floodlights is back which will help to make the atmosphere good.  I've said on many occasions that when the crowd work in partnership with the team it makes it easier.. Victories away from home are more common in League Two than in any other league.  It seems harder to play at home now as away sides come to make it difficult and if they get a goal tend to hang on by defending deep. We need to make Saltergate the old fortress that it once was and going into its final full season we want to do that again."
