Howard thrived for Chesterfield in a more successful team in 2000-01, looking lively, quick-witted and completely at home in a team that played passing football. His contribution was heavily restricted by knee ligament damage sustained at Southend in December shortly after he scored two goals in the 4-1 defeat of Leyton Orient. Fortunately he had recovered by March and hit a late equaliser against Rochdale in his comeback game.
