'Influence' - player ratings from Chesterfield 2 York City 0

The best win of the season and two early Goal of the Season contenders have got Chesterfield’s season well and truly up and running.

The five-man move for Lee Bonis’s opener and the solo effort from Dilan Markanday in Saturday’s 2-0 defeat of York City will both surely feature in the season’s highlights reel next May.

It was a cracking game, Chesterfield riding their luck in a breathless, end-of-end first half and then completely nullifying and dominating their visitors after that.

"In the second half I thought we were terrible. I didn’t think we were very good at all,” groaned York manager Scott Lindsey.

Town had a lot to do with that with their running, tackling and chasing and when they did get the ball their play was as fluid as anything they’ve produced so far this season.

A total of 27 shots to seven shows the dominance, even though York shaded the possession stats on the day.

The standard has been set.
