Remembering Steve Kirkwood
Town fans rise to their feet on 65 minutes to applaud loyal supporter Steve Kirkwood, who sadly passed away recently, aged 65.
Big chance!
Grimes lofts the ball over the crossbar from close-range after Denton headed the ball down. He has to score that.
Chesterfield’s best chance of the game.
Calvin Miller
Needs to be very careful this half. Already on a booking and gave away the penalty for handball. Newby had given him a torrid time.
