Port Vale: What the fans thought of the demolition
It was the classic away win in that we kept it very tight at the back and scored two well-taken goals before the break.
The highlight for me was Rob Taylor's excellent strike – you need someone like that who can score out of the blue.
Marc Richards's third goal after the break was crucial because I thought Chesterfield might come at us in the second period.
The striker's hat-trick was as varied as it was brilliant and Richards has played well in the past few matches.
I just hope he isn't another Leon Constantine because if Richards goes in the summer we've got to replace his goals.

IT WAS a fantastic performance which included some great goals.
Marc Richards's first is a contender for goal of the season because his little flick finish was brilliant.
Richards has been playing well and been a strong leader of the line in the past few weeks.
I don't know how much influence Geoff Horsfield has had over him but he's holding up the ball very well these days.
While Adams has tried different strikers this season in a bid to create a balanced forward line, Richards has always been his main man.
I also thought Rob Taylor and Lewis Haldane played well.
I'm getting a little excited over our play-off chances, although there are still teams behind us with games in hand.
ROB RHEAD, May Bank
I CAN'T believe how good our finishing was and much credit has to go to Marc Richards.
He missed a couple of sitters against Bradford last week but he was lethal on Saturday.
We were superb and it was a fantastic all-round display, while Joe Anyon didn't have to make a notable save.
We were on the front foot from the start and once Rob Taylor scored our first goal I was confident of a positive outcome.
I thought John McCombe had another great game.
I'm quietly confident over our play-off chances all of a sudden.
