Market31 Aug 2026

Chesterfield turn down Crewe Alexandra for Tom Naylor

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Connor Cook puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Chesterfield, and it is not being withdrawn.

Nobody could get near Armando Dobra

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Tempers go at Chesterfield

Zach Hemming was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Will Grigg falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Chesterfield

6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Armando Dobra runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 39. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Tempers go at Chesterfield

Tom Pearce was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Lee Bonis gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The afternoon belonged to Janoi Donacien

7.02, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Chesterfield had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Chesterfield turn down the training-ground plan

It is the quietest way a club tells you what its ambitions are. The money was asked for, the money was refused, and the people who work there every day now know exactly where they stand.

Match15 Aug 2026

Chesterfield draw a blank against Walsall

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Walsall defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Supporters make their feelings known about Lee Bonis

The speculation has reached the stands, and the stands have answered. Chesterfield would like this settled before it becomes the only thing anybody asks about.

Squad17 Aug 2026

The plan did not have a place for Chey Dunkley

Nobody at Chesterfield is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A season on the outside for Dieguinho

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Chesterfield has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.
