Parkinson expects ‘feisty’ match
He told North Wales Live: “Chesterfield have recruited well and we know Tshimanga is back so we expect him to start tomorrow. They’re a club who are expected to be up there like ourselves so there’s as much on them as there is on us.
“It’s going to be a good, feisty game with no quarter given, we’ve got to be ready for that. We’ve got to have an understanding of what’s required for the entire 90 minutes.”
Parkinson on Yeovil draw
He told the club’s official website: “We got off to a great start and were looking for that second goal but I felt our quality let us down a little bit in the final third at crucial times - that weight of pass - so that was disappointing.
“In the second half, the lad has scored a goal which he’ll probably never score again and that gave the crowd a huge lift. For 10 or 15 minutes, they were in the ascendency and we had to come through that period, and I felt we did. We got decent control after that and probably should have gone on to win the game.
“We always come [into games] looking for three points, but we’ll take the point today.”
