Spireites assistant manager Danny Webb:
“We’ve got to be on it. They (Notts County) a good footballing team. Whether the pitch conditions allow them to play the way they want to play, we’ll see. We’re going to have to be on our game to get anything from it.
“We’re going to need it all tomorrow. We’re going to need a bit of luck. We’ve got to be on our game. We’ve got to defend well and attack well. Because anything less won’t do.
“I think tomorrow will be a different kind of game [in comparison to Yeovil]. Big crowd, local derby. We’ve got to make sure the performance matches the result.
“It’s a massive game but it is no bigger than Saturday. We’ve got to make sure that we back up Saturday’s result on Tuesday.”
Notts captain Kyle Cameron:
“This is probably the best time we could ask to go there,” Cameron told the Nottingham Post.
“I think obviously they’re in transition at the moment with the new manager.
“Obviously, he is trying to put his philosophy in place and his way of playing onto Chesterfield.
“They are in transition at the moment and we’re kind of picking up in form.
“It will be it’ll be a good game tomorrow and hopefully we can do the same as Saturday and have a good dominant away of performance and come up with a result.”
