'He will be a good asset to the football club' - young striker could start for Chesterfield against Woking

With Scott Boden suspended and Nathan Tyson a doubt due to a calf injury, the 19-year-old could be in line to start alongside Tom Denton at the Technique Stadium.

Rawson, who came through the club’s academy, has been out on loan in previous seasons but signed a one-year deal in the summer and is now considered a first-team player by boss John Pemberton.

“We just need to be patient with him,” Pemberton said at his pre-match press conference.

“I think eventually he will be a good asset to the football club.

“I think he will only get better with a few more opportunities so when someone is missing it opens it up for someone else so we will see what happens on Saturday.

“It is about having that sense of belonging. Luke has been with us but a lot of the time last year he was out on loan so he has never really felt part of the first-team squad.

“I don’t want to send him, at the moment, on loan anywhere because I am hoping that once he gets in he will go in and be more than an asset to us.”

Woking have won both of their two games so far and Pemberton is wary of the threat they pose.

“They have had a really good start,” he added.

“They are really good at what they do. They are an effective team.

“They have got some good players and they have got a good spirit and that goes a long way.

“We have got to make sure that we bring quite a lot of what we do on Tuesday, but be better in other aspects of our game such as be better in possession.”
