“The boss spoke, I spoke and then we asked the lads what they thought. It’s important to get the players feedback, they have just been beaten so what do they think?

“It’s not just what me and the gaffer think, we got some real good feedback and it was interesting.

“After a result like that that there is going to be a certain amount of criticism and questions asked.

Match preview: Peterborough v ChesterfieldSam Hird returns to training“It was good to have the discussion and the players were great. The boss is not one that just stands there, talks and dismisses, the feedback of the players is important and very interesting.

“It was not panic stations, but when you get a result like we had last Saturday and the manner of the defeat, you have to address it. You cannot just sweep it under the carpet so we spoke about it and challenged each other.

“The players are not daft and are honest enough to hold their hands up when they make a mistake.”

Morgan also spoke of his delight as Chesterfield bounced back on Tuesday night with victory over Rochdale in the Checkatrade Trophy.

He added: “We got the first part of the response on Tuesday and we need to take it into the league on Saturday.

“The players knew they had been poor and gave bad goals away. We felt as though we had been playing well going into the game so it came as a bit of a surprise, but we got back straight back on it and won the next game which is important.

“Tuesday was the perfect reaction. We knew we were disappointing on Saturday so it was good to get the win and a clean sheet.”
