The Spireites have won 6-1, 2-0, 4-2, 4-1 and 3-1 in those games.
Webb on facing Barnet:
“Before their manager came in, they were in freefall. Since taking the reins, he has showed experience. He’s got them organised and playing a certain way.
“We want to go there and get the three points, but the league position doesn’t lie. They are sitting fifth and rightly so. It will be a really tough one.”

Covolan keeps his place then after keeping a clean sheet in midweek.

Countdown to KO
The teams will be with us shortly here at The Hive.
The Spireites fans are here in good numbers, but I have to say the turnout from the Bees faithful is very poor considering they are fifth in the league.
