With three wins from his first three previews of the season Mark Crossley was wheeled out again to face the Spireite Player camera ahead of Saturday's big game against high flying Bury.

Mark told Player "Bury are a very strong team and are on a good run of late so it will be a tough battle. Though I must say from our point of view the tougher the challenge the better we seem to respond and I hope that's the case tomorrow in what is a massive game. It will be tight and expect there will be the one goal in it and hope its us that get the three points. It's starting to get a bit nervy and we are thankful we are one of the teams in our around the play offs who can push on further in the remaining seventeen games.

Mark then moved on to cover the midweek injuries to Aaron Downes and Tommy Lee against Port Vale and also the other team news and the arrival on loan of Carlisle striker Gary Madine.

Mark then continued " Everyone's very sad for Aaron and we are keeping our finger crossed but it doesn't look great but you can never really tell with a re-occurrence so we are waiting for it tell settle down. We have cover in Brecks and Pagey but we rate Aaron very highly and he will be missed because since he's been back in the team goals have stopped going in.

Tommy Lee got a slight fracture in there when hi dislocated his finger but you can play with that sort of injury by taping your fingers together, so it's all down to mental strength. Tommy is the type of lad that wants to go out there and play so he will be alright. We have plenty of options upfront now with Smally and Drew back and we have also brought in Gary Madine from Carlisle. Gary is young and eager and a big strong lad, he's played at Coventry this season and they liked him and rated him highly. So now we have given him a chance  to further his career here so now its down to him really.

Dominic Green's also here for another month and since he's been here our forms been very good. He is only a young lad with a lot of potential.  I think he's had some unfair criticism particularly in one home game but we have had some fantastic results with him in the team and some of his defensive  game seems to go unnoticed. He was very eager to stay here which is a thing we like to see and we love that can of attitude."
