Almost 0-2
Duffus almost makes it 0-2 but his effort clips the crossbar and bounces down near the line. Town need half-time.
Penaly shout for Town
Denton goes down in the area after being barged in the box. Looked a decent shout. Not given.
Paul Cook
Goes mad at referee Elliott Swallow in frustration at Denton not being awarded any free-kicks. Swallow comes over to have a word.
27 played, 0-0.
Is having his shirt pulled every time the ball goes up to him but he is not getting anything from the referee so far.
Booking
For Chesterfield’s Miller. He got away with an earlier foul which arguably could have been a yellow. He commits another similar foul and goes into the book.
