The Spireites are 19 points clear with a game in hand on second-placed Bromley with 13 matches remaining.
Bromley beat Town 4-3 last weekend but then the Ravens threw away a two-goal lead to draw against Dagenham and Redbridge in midweek. The Blues were not in action because their fixture at Halifax was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
“We were all out watching certain games, but when you get back in the car, you turn on the radio and check your phone to see the latest scores,” assistant manager Danny Webb stated.
“With a game remaining, we lead by 19 points, so we’re in a strong situation. Our strategy and the manner in which the management expects everyone to operate would remain the same regardless of our score—25 points or three points. We remain focused and professional as we have throughout the season, regardless of the points differential at the top.
Chesterfield might get promoted with as few as six victories. However, the point that nobody is going overboard still stands.
“Considering the number of facts that are evident, I don’t think anyone would have predicted that we would be in this situation. We are already rejoicing if there are still four or five games left and we are uncatchable.
“I think the game at Bromley that teams keep pushing us, they want to beat us, they want to knock us off the top of the table,” he continued. “It would be lovely to win the league sooner rather than later, of course you want to get things done.” That will only occur if we take our foot off the throttle, which I don’t believe we have done just now. We have already seen a few undesirable outcomes.
