McCallum down injured

The striker drops to the floor n the halfway line and he requires some treatment.

Town almost double their lead as Mandeville picks out McCallum in the box. He lays it off to Banks who side-foots it wide. He was dead central and not that far out. Probably should have scored.

GOOOOAAAALLL!!! 0-1

Chesterfield go 1-0 up on 34 minutes. Mandeville is clipped in the area and McCallum slots in the resulting penalty.

Penalty to Chesterfield!

Mandeville is clipped in the area and Town have a spot-kick.

Still 0-0. Not the prettiest of games so far. Very competitive but not a lot of quality on show.

Chance for the hosts

A through-ball sends Hutchinson in behind the Blues defence but Fitzsimons does really well to get there first and clear. Great starting position.

Chance for Chesterfield

Mandeville picks up a loose ball and plays it out wide left to Colclough. He delivers a low cross but it just evades Dallas and McCallum in the box.

Ilunga can’t continue

And he is replaced by former Spireite Joel Taylor, who signed for the hosts today.

That was about five minute pause in play.

King is back on.

The snow is coming down here at The Vale.

King is now on his feet but Ilunga is still struggling.

King and Ilunga are both down after they collided in the air as they both jumped to win the ball. They both look in a bit pain. The physios are on.
