Still 1-0.

Chesterfield are playing really well, but while it stays 1-0 the visitors are still in this.

Fitzsimons does well to get down at the feet of Sbarra who tried to round him, the ball then fell to Dallas but he blasted wide with the goal gaping. Big chance for the visitors.

Chances for Chesterfield

First for Whelan, which he blazed over from around the penalty spot, when the better option was probably to pass to Dobra.

King’s shot then stings the palms of Boot, Mandeville almost gobbles up the rebound from six-yards out but Boot dives on it.

Hectic first five minutes of this half.

Osborne catches Fitzsimons off his line with a long-distance quick free-kick and I think it clipped the crossbar before bouncing down for the home keeper to collect. That would have been embarrassing.

But he gets his shot all wrong and it goes well wide. It was nice hold-up play by Quigley in the build-up.

Here we go in the second-half.

HT: Chesterfield 1 v 0 Solihull Moors

After a slow first 10 minutes the Spireites have been the better side since taking the lead and could have been further ahead. Midfield three have been very good.

Oldaker gets back to his feet

He looks to be okay. He is going to continue for now at least.
