ROY EVANS will not punish his players with drastic selection changes ahead of tomorrow night's clash with Brentford despite a 4-0 thrashing at Chesterfield on Saturday.

The club's director of football rubbished suggestions that his players had been guilty of complacency at Saltergate and said they had the perfect chance to redeem themselves against Steve Coppell's high-flying side.

Evans refused to accept that his players had arrived at Saltergate on Saturday with the wrong attitude.

The club's director of football said: "We are not in a position to be complacent. We have only put together a small unbeaten run.

"I know and the players know that every game will be a tough, difficult affair in this division."

Evans said one bad team performance did not mean mass changes were inevitable.

He said: "The lads will look at themselves, take stock and try to bounce back.

"We haven't got the personnel to make major changes and when you have that many players who've played poorly, you can't just rip it up and start again.

"They have to get themselves back together as a team and we (the coaching staff) will help them try and do it."

Town's director of football refused to point the finger at any individual for Saturday's crushing defeat at Saltergate.

Evans has adopted the approach that victories will be acclaimed as team successes while the players will also take collective responsibility for Second Division defeats.

He said: "We didn't perform in any department and when that happens you are always going to struggle to get something from the game."

It was an afternoon to forget for Town skipper Alan Reeves, who could only stand and watch as his twin brother David stole in shortly after the break to score the 150th league goal of his career.

That opened the floodgates and the Spireites added another four to leave Town nursing their heaviest defeat of the season and returning into the bottom half of the table.

Town's players will receive ballot papers from the Professional Footballers' Association today, ahead of a vote on possible strike action.

The PFA wants a larger slice of the television money to help its members who have fallen on hard times.

It could lead to players refusing to play in televised games.

Town's PFA representative, Mark Robinson, told the Evening Advertiser that it was not about 'greedy' players demanding more money, as has been reported in some sections of the press.

High-profile members backing the PFA's stance include England and Manchester United skipper David Beckham.
