Darren Currie put the Spireites in front from the penalty spot, but United responded with three second-half goals from Matty Robson, Peter Murphy and Adam Clayton.

Abbott said: "We said to the players at half-time that we had done nothing wrong and had had the best chances and we should have put at least one of them away.

"We were not upset at the way we had played, we just needed to be more clinical and we did that in the second half.

"The supporters who were here will have seen a very good performance. Chesterfield are a good side with a good home record and we knew that it was going to be a tough game."
