When it comes to selecting the players Chesterfield will maintain for his first season back in the EFL, Paul Cook is expected to exercise “ruthlessness.”
A number of the Spireites’ players are out of contract this summer, and they will be participating in League Two for the first time in six years.
The Blues play Maidenhead United at home to wrap off their season. Since winning the title, the Blues had lost all four of their previous games.
Assistant manager Danny Webb responded, “I think when you are at a club like Chesterfield every game is massive for a player,” when asked if any players were fighting for their careers.
“With his expertise, the manager is dependable and gets along well with the players, but he will also be brutal. He desires to triumph in matches. The players are aware of that for the entire season, not just right now. Nobody is ever safe when wearing a shirt, and this will always be the case. Every game is a cup final for other teams, not because of the recent lack of winning form.
“It is the same as it was at the beginning of the season, in my opinion. It’s the same, exactly. Everyone connected with Chesterfield is under pressure, but they have handled it well this year, which is why the trophy was handed them.
On having to let players go, Webb added: “That is the brutal side of football. Those conversations do happen, will happen. We have not had those conversations yet with players in general or amongst ourselves really about what’s happening specifically with individual people.”
