There are still places up for grabs in Chesterfield’s starting line-up for the season opener against Swindon Town, insists Danny Webb.The Spireites beat Scunthorpe United 3-0 on Friday night in their final pre-season friendly and those in attendance may well conclude that those who started at Glanford Park will do so again against the Robins.
But Webb said: “People might think that the last friendly before your first league game is going to be your team and sometimes that is the case but that is not neccesarily going to be the case with us. The lads on the bench were itching to get on and be a part of it and remained professional – haven’t read anything into today’s line-up but those who did play have staked their claim for a starting place next week potentially.”
Town were terrific in the first 45, scoring some great goals, before seeing the game out comfortably in the second-half. And thankfully they didn’t suffer any injuries.
“We have come through it unscaved so that is the first big tick,” Webb continued.
“We were excellent in the first-half. It tailed off a bit in the second-half but sometimes that happens in friendlies with all the substitions.
“It was a good way to finish. There was good passages of play and we defended well all over.”
