What a cross from King

The full-back swings in a stunning cross from the right, McCallum attacks it but the home defence clear their lines. More of that please, Kingy.

Are keeping four up front at times. They are set-up to have a right go tonight.

0-0 after eight minutes.

A lovely move sees Mandeville feed Dallas, who sweeps the ball first time over the bar. It wasn’t far away.

Hutchinson forces Fitzsimons into action in the first 20 seconds with a powerful shot from the edge of the box but the keeper was well behind it.

Wealdstone are wearing blue shirts, white shorts and white socks.

The Spireites are in all green.

Kick-off is minutes away.

A pivotal night in the race for third.

Here we go then for probably the biggest game of the season so far for Chesterfield. Win and they cut the gap to Woking, who they play on Saturday, to three points. Lose and it remains six points ahead of the weekend’s clash which would most defintely be ‘must win’.
