Passionate John Pemberton has praised the “unbelievable” Spireites supporters in helping Chesterfield turn around their home form.

Earlier in the season the Blues lost five consecutive home games under John Sheridan but are now five without a loss going into tonight’s match against promotion-chasing Harrogate Town.

Pemberton said: “I think the supporters have helped with that massively.

"They do not understand sometimes how important they are to us.

"They have been unbelievable in the eight weeks I have been here and the lift that they have given the players.

"It is their team and I want them to be proud of their team and I want the players to want to play in front of them and when you get that it is quite powerful. But I know to do that we have got to give them something to shout about and then they will get behind us so it starts with us.”

He added: "I am hoping that they are enjoying their Saturdays a little bit more than they were, I certainly am at this moment in time.”

At his pre-match press conference on Monday Pemberton said the Spireites have no new fresh injury concerns going into tonight’s clash against second-placed Harrogate.

He said: "Everyone is fine. We are training well, in good spirits. Hopefully we can carry on doing what we have been doing and keep climbing."
