They (Chesterfield) wanted more goals and it became end to end. I am sure it was exciting for the fans but probably not for the two sets of benches.”
Town took the lead through Liam Mandeville in the first-half before Akwasi Asante added a second 10 minutes after the break.
Williams said: "I think it was their first shot when they scored the first goal. Up until then I don’t think they really laid a glove on us. But then there were more actions in the game that Chesterfield could have scored from, I accept that.
"We were a threat throughout, we got to the box a lot, we put very good balls inside the box, so I don’t think there was too much wrong if I am honest.

He added: "Of course we did not want to be 2-0 down but we showed a fighting spirit that is so important.
"Over the course of the game it is probably a fair result.”
