HT thoughts frm fan writer Ben
Half time then and at the break it’s Chesterfield 1-1 Dagenham and Redbridge. A good half of football there, and I suspect some in the Spireites camp may feel slightly hard done by that they’re not ahead as, aside from a spell after the Dagenham goal where Town looked a little bit shellshocked, they’ve been largely the better side here. With that in mind, I think the most important thing for Chesterfield in the second forty-five is to keep composed and not to panic. If they can keep controlling the game and have it played the way they want, a victory is more than likely here. Let’s hope that victory is forthcoming in this second half, a half which could prove to be massive in the play-off race.
Level at the break
HT: Chesterfield 1 v 1 Dag & Red
A breathtaking first-half which has absolutely flown by. Daggers took the lead against the run of play but Rowe cancelled it out eight minutes later. Great atmosphere.
Goal reaction from fan writer Ben
There it is! A Chesterfield equaliser was always on the cards, and thankfully this crowd didn’t have to wait too long for it. Danny Rowe proving exactly why he’s widely regarded as one of the best strikers at this level, with a beautiful finish into the bottom corner. Game on!
Chance!
Carline heads straight at Justham at the far post from Taylor’s cross from the left.
Three minutes to the break, 1-1.
GOOOOOAAALLLLLLL: 1-1
ROWE!!!
Town are level. 1-1. Clarke pinches the ball in midfield, Maguire picks it up and plays a great pass into Rowe who controls and finishes with his left boot in the area. His second goal for the Blues. GET IN!
