Half-time
HT: Chesterfield 1 v 2 Grimsby Town
The visitors have turned this one around following two very good strikes.
The Spireites lost their way after going behind and looked like conceding again if anything.
The hosts are losing the midfield battle.
Loach down
Town’s goalkeeper was flattened by Waterfall as a free-kick came in. Home fans want a red card but the referee lets it go unpunished. Loach is now back on his feet after the physio comes on.
Khan heads over
From Whittle’s cross but the header had no pace on it. That’s the first Town have threatened in a while. They’ve been all over the place in the last 20 minutes or so.
Midfield battle
The visitors are winning it. They are picking up the ball in little pockets of space and landing on second balls. Town need to steady themselves here.
Second goal for Grimsby: 1-2
Superb strike from Holohan into the top corner. Another long-ranger. The visitors have turned it around.
