The Chesterfield Courier
Match23 Nov 2026
Chesterfield up to position 2
35 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.
Match21 Nov 2026
10 unbeaten for Chesterfield
Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 10 matches without defeat is a foundation Chesterfield did not have in the autumn.
Match21 Nov 2026
Harry Anderson rescues a point for Chesterfield
It needed Harry Anderson to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Notts County, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Words at Chesterfield training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Konrad Wrzesiński is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The manager’s verdict
“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Jason Kelly was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the Chesterfield dressing room was either.

The manager makes an example of Ryan Boot
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The pass was always on for Beryly Lubala
Chances created: 8. Somebody has to open a door before anybody can walk through it, and he spent the afternoon opening doors.

Lee Bonis knocks on the manager’s door
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Lee Bonis trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
The dugout23 Nov 2026
No place in the plan for Ryan Boot
The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
