Oldaker goes down injured

The physio comes on.

Chesterfield lead 1-0 and look the more dangerous side after a slow first 10 minutes.

Boot saves from Dobra

After a nice dribble by King and a pass by Oldaker. Easy save.

Dobra drives forward from midfield, slips in Mandeville, he pulls the trigger, but Kelleher throws himself at the ball and makes a fantastic block. Top defending, to be fair. Corner.

Good tracking from Jones

To stop Barnett getting away free down the right.

Dallas flicks the resulting corner on at the near post but Grimes does well to react and clear for a throw.

More good defending from Williams

To flick away a dangerous cross from Barnett.

1-0 after 30 minutes.

His shot from the edge of the area is deflected behind by Williams for a corner.

That was going in.

Great sliding tackle from Jones

Pefectly timed to deny Solihull’s Whelan getting a shot off inside the box.

His diving header from Clements’ cross from the left flys over the bar.

Chesterfield edging this one now.

Chesterfield have the lead after 15 minutes.

A free-kick from out wide left from King takes a deflection off someone and goes in. Quigley is claiming it but it could also be a Dallas own goal.

But who cares!
