Boss Paul Jewell was at tonight’s Chesterfield-Huddersfield game at the Spireites’ B2net Stadium looking for potential new recruits. Several members of the Blues' coaching staff were on scouting missions this evening with Town in action at home to Burnley on Wednesday.

The Blues manager was more likely to be casting his eye over the Terriers’ line-up with right-back Jack Hunt understood to be a player Jewell has been interested in for a while, having been spotted watching the West Yorkshiremen in action on a couple of occasions earlier in the season.

Former Blue Jordan Rhodes — who is probably now out of his old club’s price range - was again on target for Huddersfield as they won the League One clash 2-0.

Also in the Terriers side was another ex-Town man Gary Roberts, while Alan Lee was a 70th minute sub.

Jewell was probably assessing summer targets rather than players he hopes to land before Thursday’s loan deadline.

ThatMuhrenCross added 22:15 - Mar 20 Some great young talent on display there. I also hope there was someone at Stevenage's game with Colchester tonight, trying to work out who is the main reason for them only conceding 33 goals in 36 games this season... because whoever it is, we need him!

geography26 added 22:18 - Mar 20 Jack hunt would be nice, Rhodes would never happen and I don't think smithies would ever come! Far to highly rated.

buryblue77 added 22:19 - Mar 20 Paris, hopefully. This guy has been tipped to have a bright future, even being talked about as a future England keeper (but then so was Richard Wright) so would be good to have someone of his potetial here. Having said that, I'd like to see a more experienced keeper as our number one, if we could afford it the thing to do would be to sign someone like Smithies, loan them out for a couple of seasons whilst we also secure the services of an older more experienced keeper for a couple of years.

Tractorboy24 added 22:52 - Mar 20 I'd love us to go in for smithies, decent young keeper, although he's just come back from injury. Also think jack hunt looks a good, young defender, maybe cresswell-esque, only at right back.

riley26 added 23:56 - Mar 20 Completely agree dazz, Taylor has looked very decent all season, could be a very good signing.

blueoff added 00:09 - Mar 21 Huddersfield have a very promising striker, Rhodes his name is, but shhh dont tell anyone as some badly run club already sold him for a pittance and it will make them feel stupid if they find out

BlueThai added 05:46 - Mar 21 Does anyone know if Rhodes has a sell-on clause in his contract? It would be a small consolation if we were to get some cash if he ends up going somewhere for big money...

bedsitfc added 06:04 - Mar 21 bluethai - i think we get 20% of anything over 800k

itfc1981 added 07:31 - Mar 21 can we offer Clegg in exchange for a bit of mud on Jordan Rhodes left boot? Much better value for money.

iamipswich added 09:02 - Mar 21 Smithies is a good shout

CornardBlue added 09:03 - Mar 21 One player who i have seen play several times this season and been impressed with is Anthony Wordsworth at Colchester, he is a very good goalscoring midfielder is only 23 and would be a good re-placement for Leadbitter if he leaves.

newboy added 09:29 - Mar 21 Really I don't think anyone can complain about the knocking between clegg and the clown jewell we will be lucky if we have 11 to field cleggs main interest will be the olympics

DanLyles added 10:16 - Mar 21 Great point about Stevenage's defensive record. One of their ever presents at the back called Jon Ashton was the only defender named in FourFourTwo's top ten League 2 players last season. This guy is 6' 2 and built like an All Black. Should imagine he has alot to do with their water tight defence. Have a look PJ!!!! Him and Pearce please. No nonsense defending
