Town putting Alty under some pressure now.

Byrne saves from Jones

The midfielder gets a low shot off from the edge of the box and Byrne tips it wide. Corner.

This is much better from the Blues.

0-0 after 55.

From Conn-Clarke after Jones was robbed of possession. That was a let off.

Gives the ball away and then makes a foul. Not having his best night.

For a trip to prevent an Alty counter.

Spireites sub - 70 minutes

Colclough is on for his debut against his former side, replacing Quigley. Looks like Asante will go up top.

Can Chesterfield break the deadlock?
