Fitsimons saves
From Cardwell’s free-kick from about 20 yards. It was in a dangerous position so he will be relieved at that.
Town lead at HT
HT: Southend United 0 v 1 Chesterfield
A good half from the Spireites. Maguire’s first goal in almost a year has them in front. McCallum has hit the woodwork. A very hard-working performance. Defensively better, too.
Good save by Fitzsimons
To get down low to his right to save from Bridge inside the area. There were lots of bodies in the way so he did well to keep his eye on that.
35 gone, 0-1.
Off the bar!
McCallum heads against the crossbar at the back post following a deep cross from Mandeville. That was a big chance for Town to double their lead.
