The Blues lost to Notts County last weekend and Pemberton is calling on his team to get back to winning ways this Saturday against fellow strugglers Wrexham.

Red Dragons boss Dean Keates says he believes 50 points will be enough to avoid the drop this season but Pemberton said: "I have not even given it a thought.

"We have got to win as many games as we can.

"We've done alright - two wins, a draw and a loss.

“The loss was disappointing but in the four games we have done okay.

"We want to get on an unbeaten run cause that then breeds a bit more confidence and you can turn draws into wins.

"We have not got a great goal difference so I have got to think about all those factors but if we can keep putting three points on the board it gets people edgy. Everybody else starts looking over their shoulder."

Meanwhile, Chesterfield have no new fresh injury concerns for the Wrexham game.

Defender Matt Tootle, who has been sidelined since December with an ankle injury, is back in training but is not ready to feature.
