Double change for Town - 70 minutes

McCourt and Khan come off, Whelan and Tyson are on.

Partington misses a free header from a corner. Has to score that. Town’s marking, or lack of, has been woeful today.

Chesterfield go close again

King, Denton and Khan all go close in the same attack but they can’t turn the ball home. Wide open game, this.

Denton’s header at the far post from King’ s deep corner is saved by Balcombe who gets down low.

Goal for Bromley: 4-2

Another goal that comes down Chesterfield’s left. Whitely’s shot from inside the area takes a slight deflection and finds the bottom corner. Again he had too much time. 51 played.

Is brought down in the box by the home goalkeeper but the offside flag is up.

Back underway. No changes, but Grimes is now in the middle of the back three and Maguire has moved to the left.

HT: Bromley 3 v 2 Chesterfield

It looked like game over at 3-0 down after half an hour. But two headed goals in four minutes from Maguire and Denton, both from Mandeville crosses, have the Spireites back in this one.

Goal for Chesterfield: 3-2

DENTON!

Game on?

Chesterfield pull another one back. Denton powers in a header from another Mandeville cross. Back in it! 3-2.
