Keeper right at home with Caldwell's preferred style of play

Last season the Spireites often began their attacks with passing moves that originated with the goalkeeper.

They were caught out on occasion however, and Caldwell stated publicly he wanted his side to be smart about when to pass it out and when to go direct.

He also insisted he was only in favour of possession football if it had a purpose and an end product.

When Anyon signed on the dotted line, Caldwell talked up his ability to play in the style Chesterfield hope to employ, saying: “He’s very capable with his hands and feet, which is very important for me because of the way I want to play.”

Anyon fully expects to be involved with his feet as well as his hands and has no problem with it.

The 30-year-old, signed on a free transfer after his release by League One promotion hopefuls Scunthorpe United, said: “It’s part of the modern game now, goalkeepers have to adapt, they have to play out, they get called upon with their feet quite a lot.
