Spireites manager Lee Richardson looked ahead to Saturday's game against Accrington Stanley and rued a change of heart by a loan target in his SPIREITES WORLD TV preview. Read the highlights right here

Accrington Stanley is a name from the distant past that people remember, one of the first clubs I think to go out of business.  From the recent past they are one of the teams to beat us so we are hoping we can turn the tables.

The current teams in the news getting into financial difficulty are Rotherham, and my home town team Halifax.  We understand what that's like as I was personally involved here as a player and it's not a nice experience.  I think our football club has done fantastically well to come out of administration as strongly as we have done and with the solid base we have got for the future.

There is still a glimmer for Rotherham but I do feel for manager Mark Robins and the circumstances he is in.  Media has suggested we gain from their pain but its only temporary and no gain at all if we don't win our football matches.  We have to do our bit.

They beat us last Saturday and that still rankles.  We came back strongly in the second half and perhaps should have got a point. All in all though it was bitterly disappointing to lose to our local rivals given we had had an upturn in form and results other than MK Dons.  But we move on, pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down, look at the positives, and look toward to the game on Saturday, which is a great opportunity to get back to winning ways, as any game would be, followed by another game two days later.

There are six points on the table over the Easter weekend and every one of the remaining eight games is not only vital to us, it is as well for every team we play.  On paper the run-in we have is one of the better run-ins in the top ten but that's only on paper.  The reality in that every game of football, albeit, against teams at the bottom, teams in midtable obscurity, or teams at the top, will all have an edge to them and their own difficulties.  There will be some strange results between now and the end of the season for everyone.

I'd still like to think we could strengthen the squad if we can before next Thursday's deadline.  We tried this week but we have been let down by a player who decided to change tune and go elsewhere when he had already agreed to come to us, which is disappointing.  But there is nothing we can do although there have been previous times, even this season, when we have had the opposite where players have come here having changed their minds from going somewhere else.  So we have to accept that and we are still looking for all areas because that still remains a key feature of the job to improve the squad whenever you can.

It has to be the right player and not just anybody. It's all about bringing in players who contribute, even if it means they come to put pressure on players who are already in the team, but that's a contribution as well.  It doesn't mean they have to come in straightaway and play, although that's the ideal and that is what we are looking for in all reality.  Lloyd Kerry is an example who came in so we could see what he could do and the impact he could make.  He went into the team and contributed to three wins as did the two Sunderland boys.  Lloyd has had his loan spell extended and I am just waiting for confirmation from Sunderland about Peter Hartley and David Dowson.
