FT: Maidenhead United 0 v 0 Chesterfield

Dallas had a massive one-on-one chance in the second-half but he fluffed his lines. Spireites did not create much after the break. Hosts had a couple themselves. Seven unbeaten. Four straight clean sheets.

Great block by De Havilland to deny King in the box. That looked to be going in.

Jones, who has been excellent, comes off for Oldaker.

Has come on down the right flank.

Double Spireites sub - 79

Uchegbulam and Quigley replace Dallas and McCallum.

Town back on top in terms of possession but they are strugging to create.

Drags a shot wide on his left foot from a difficult angle.

The hosts are thratening a lot more this half.

Dallas had a glorious chance to put Chesterfield ahead when he raced clear one-on-one after a mistake by Sam Beckwith. The striker rounded goalkeeper Andre Junior and had an open goal to aim at but he fired wide. The ball possibly was running away from a bit, but he has to score that.

Big chance for Maidenhead

But McCoulsky blazes the ball over the bar from about 10-12 yards out. That came about after a loose pass by Grimes was pounced upon. That was a let off for Town.

Is booked for a shirt pull.

Here we go in the second-half.

Town kicking down the slope now.

HT: Maidenhead United 0 v 0 Chesterfield

Spireites well on top. Zipped the ball around beautifully at times. Need to make the keeper work a bit more for all their dominance. An enjoyable watch.
