A disappointed John Sheridan spoke to Spireites Player after seeing his side slip to another defeat at the Crown ground Accrington.
John told Player "I thought we were comfortable and had some good opportunities to score and if we had scored the first goal, I think we would have gone on to win the game. But we didn't take those opportunities and they scored a goal out of the blue and the second goal was a bit of a farce. But it's disappointing obviously for the big following, who thought like myself that we would get the result. Everyone must take a look at themselves and act and do things a lot better. I am saying the same things and repeating myself. But I have said it all along that I want to be judged next season when I have my own players in and if we get criticism I will stand up and be counted for.
John then acknowledged the supporters frustrations on the sides poor run in and he continued "I understand the supporters frustrations we were in a good position all season and we have let them down and they want the same thing I do. I feel sorry for them in a way because they have supported us all season. But we haven't got the results we have wanted over the last twelve games and we should have been pushing for the automatics and its very disappointing."
John was then asked what if anything he would have changed this season and he responded "To have the long term injured players back and fit, we have missed them big time. I have used far too many players this season and not had a settled side as a result. I would have kept a few of the loan players but that wasn't to be. I am already building for next season I know the type of player I want to bring in. But I thought we would do it this season but next season we will hopefully be stronger and a better team".
On Saltergates swan song next Saturday against already promoted Bournemouth John added" It will be an emotional day and we still have a slim hope. So we will just have to try our best next weekend to win the game. There will be a big crowd but its disappointing we haven't got where we wanted to go.
