Cook: O'Shea the difference

Super-sub Jay O'Shea deserves all the plaudits he gets according to Chesterfield manager Paul Cook after a 3-2 win over Yeovil.

Cook saw his side come from two goals down to beat the Glovers 3-2 at Huish Park. The former Accrington and Sligo Rovers boss insists his players are giving everything they have to make sure they book themselves a play-off spot at the end of the season, but no-one at the club is getting carried away. Goals from James Hayter and Sam Foley had the bottom side in control but Sam Hird headed the visitors back into the game. Half-time substitute O'Shea then scored twice, the first goal a superb strike from 25 yards out, to turn the game on its head and give sixth-placed Chesterfield a four-point cushion over the chasing pack in the race for the play-offs. Cook said: "To be fair to the lads they keep finding a way. We made a couple of changes at half-time because we were coming under pressure and we needed to dominate the ball and needed to create more openings. "We've been here before with Jay O'Shea and he will get all the plaudits and rightly so - it's a great result for the players and the supporters. "All managers will sit down at the end of the season with a pint and reflect and I will look back and say my players gave me everything they got and I will be a happy man, whatever the position, and if we are just above that line then even better. "We gave ourselves a mountain to climb and they climbed it and more. I don't get every team right, i don't profess to, but I have got a group of players that proves me wrong." Yeovil's acting manager Terry Skiverton feels his players are doing all that they can, but conceded they have just not been good enough to prevent successive relegations. He said: "Chesterfield are a really good footballing side, one of the best teams we have had down here in a while and we struggled to contain them. "With where we are it's tough to take; the players are giving it their all and trying their best but they are still coming up short. "We believe we are setting them up in the right way and giving them everything they need, then it's just whether the players can adapt and go the extra bit. "We have been on a losing streak for two years now, but the players haven't given up, you just can't legislate for confidence and people not doing their jobs at the right time."
