HORTON!!

Chesterfield have one back. Horton scores his first goal for the club, drilling low into the net from distance.

55 minutes gone.

Bankd tries his luck from distance, it takes a deflection, corner.

Bankd sprays a superb ball to send Horton clear down the left, he makes his way into the box, cuts inside, but lofts the ball over the bar on his right foot.

Robinson should score from inside the area for the Daggers, centrally, but his shot is straight at Covolan.

Ucehbulam is now on the right, Clarke is wide left and Mandeville is more central.

Surprisingly, no changes.

HT: Chesterfield 0 v 3 Dagenham and Redbridge

A disastrous first-half. So vulnerable defensively. Toothless in attack. A half littered with mistakes.

Dagenham have conceded the most goals in the league and the Spireites have not caused them any problems.
