Chesterfield conceded a 90th minute winner against Notts County in the play-off eliminator on Saturday.
The Spireites took the lead on 27 minutes when Danny Rowe blasted in a 30-yard free-kick, but the hosts equalised instantly through Kyle Wootton.
Liam Mandeville finished off a great counter just before half-time to put the Blues ahead at the break.
Blues goalkeeper James Montgomery played the last 30 minutes injured and Wootton grabbed his second before Ellis headed the winner to break Chesterfield hearts.

9. Jack Clarke 8
He was very good. He pressed at the right times, he dribbled well, he was strong, kept possession and assisted Mandeville's goal. He has just been released by Aston Villa. There will be competition but hopefully Chesterfield can sign him. Photo: Laurence Griffiths
Scored a thunderous 30-yard free-kick to give Town the lead. Played a part in the second goal with some good hold-up play. Came off for Tyson with 25 to go. Photo: Laurence Griffiths
Came on for Oyeleke for the last 30 minutes and did well. He made some driving runs forward and came close to scoring twice. Came under the spotlight after a challenge on Reeves in the box but it looked like he made a good tackle on first viewing. Photo: Tina Jenner
