Close again!
Quigley is inches away from heading home Mandeville’s brilliant cross from the right. He was so close to connecting and heading Town in front.
Great feet
From Quigley to dance by a couple of Maidenhead players before taking a shot from 25 yards on his left boot. Wide. Nice play, though.
Big chance for Chesterfield on the counter.
Khan sends a delightful ball down the left channel for Miller to chase. He cuts the ball back for Quigley around the six-yard box. The striker turns but his goal-bound shot is blocked and cleared. It looked like it was going in as well.
Quigley
Curls over from the edge of the area after neat play between Khan and Whelan. Better from the Blues.
Chance for Maidenhead
Not for the first time in these opening 13 minutes the visitors turn the Spireites defence. McCoulsky runs in behind Grimes and managed to toe-poke the ball towards goal but Loach blocks and Town clear. Not been the best of starts, this.
