Half-time
HT: Chesterfield 0 v 1 Notts County
It’s been quite even but Sam’s moment of quality has the visitors in front. Notts looked dangerous on the counter towards the end of the half. Chesterfield have done okay but the final ball has let them down.
Goal for Notts County: 0-1
Sam curls into the far corner following a counter. Great finish, to be fair. Skipped past King and then produced an accurate finish.
Eight to the break
Chesterfield are putting together some nice passages of play at times but the final is letting them down.
0-0.
Nice play
Miller meets King’s deep cross at the back post and it goes behind for a corner. Full-back to full-back there. Corner comes to nothing, sadly.
Good covering from Grimes
To make up for a mistake by King. Notts were in but he got back and made a timely interception.
