‘WE CAN IN-SPIRE FANS WITH VICTORY’
ASSISTANT manager Danny Webb wants Chesterfield to show why they finished 13 points above Bromley when the two meet in the National League play-off semi-final.
The Spireites finished third after a final day 4-0 victory over Maidstone United at the Technique Stadium.
Webb said: “I think it was equal caution in terms of threat from either team. I think you could say with all due respect to Woking, it looked their race had been run towards the end.
“I think with Bromley, that’s ten unbeaten and they could be finding their form at the right time.
“They are on a hell of a run. They will come here as underdogs. I think Woking would have come here as underdogs so that theory doesn’t change.
“We’re probably getting a team a little more on it at the minute in Bromley. We’ve got to show why we finished 13 points ahead of them and we’ve got to show why we finished third.”

Cook’s side have won their last three home games of the season to secure a first home play-off game for eight years – scoring 12 goals in the process.
Webb is aware that Bromley will provide tough opposition, saying: “It’s up to us. We’ve got to make sure it turns into a thriller for all of the right reasons in our favour.
“They are going to come here and give it their all. We know what a tough team Andy Woodman’s team is, and we know it’s going to be a tough day.
“If we do it right, hopefully we can make the town very happy. They got us on a really bad day a couple of weeks ago. It’s up to us to get our own back.” Chesterfield head into their third consecutive National
League play-off campaign suffering heartbreak to Notts County and Solihull Moors respectively. Webb believes the near sell-out crowd can provide that advantage needed for the Blues to go and secure their date at Wembley Stadium.
“We are lucky here that every week, we get big crowds – the lowest we’ve had is around 5,700 on a Tuesday night.
“The players are used to great atmospheres like the West Brom game when it was sold out. That was a different attitude because we were the underdogs.
“This is going to be expectation on us from 9,500 supporters and a town that really wants to get to Wembley and get this club back to where it belongs.
“If you win these games, it’s a lovely occasion. To lose in a semi-final would be gut-wrenching. We’ve got to make sure it does go our way – it’s not a normal game.”
