Off the bar!
Aldershot’s Glover crashes a header against the woodwork from a corner.
Looks like Tshimanga is coming on.
Big chance!
Oldaker sends Horton clear down the left, his low cross goes all the way to the back post but Gyasi can’t turn it home. Some fans thought it was in. Mightily close. He just couldn’t quite get enough on it.
Chance!
Great move from back to front ends with Quigley heading wide from Mandeville’s dinked cross from the right.
Back underway
Olie Banks tried his luck from the halfway line from the kick-off!
But Ashby-Hammond is equal to it.
Cheeky.
Half-time
Lots of shots on goal from the Spireites but they can’t find the breakthrough. The visitors have played their part and Effiong has been a big threat.
Off the line!
Chesterfield almost take the lead before the break but Ashby-Hammond claws a header off the line. Think it was either Quigley or Williams. Or both!
So close!
Dobra dribbles past a couple players and then gets a low shot off which Ashby-Hammond parries.
Great play.
Big chance for the visitors
Willard goes clear on goal but drags his attempt wide. Poor effort. Big let off for the hosts. Almost half-time.
