Leaders Chesterfield urged to ‘keep going’ after hammering York City – reaction

Chesterfield have been urged not to take their foot off the gas after they extended their unbeaten run to 12 matches with a 4-0 hammering of York City.

The Spireites scored four times in the second-half to ensure they remain top of the league.

Coach Danny Webb said: “We are really developing something that is good but developing is the key word because there is a long way to go. We have got a bit of everything at the moment. The gaffer has said this week that we must maintain this good start and keep working hard because football changes very quickly. If they take their foot off the gas, the results will follow.”

After a quiet first-half, goals after the break from Ollie Banks, Tom Naylor and a brace from Will Grigg secured the points.

Webb told the DT: “The result is fantastic. I think the dominance of the second-half is probably as dominant as we have been this season. But in a weird way I was more pleased with the first-half because we didn’t play great but as a team we defended so solidly. It was an average performance in the first-half, we don’t want to do it every week, but when you do, you don’t want to concede. They had to liven up in the second-half and they certainly did that.”

He continued: “The sign of a good team is when you are not at your maximum and you don’t concede. To come in at 0-0 was very important knowing that we had not played very well. If they (York) had scored first then their low block would have become a really low block.

“We made it clear that they needed to go up a notch and they did that and it led to a very comfortable win. As soon as we got that first goal I thought we really started to dominate. The first-half was okay, but the second-half was excellent.”
