Full-time
FT: Chesterfield 0 v 0 Aldershot Town
The Spireites are held to a goalless draw. Plenty of pressure in the second-half but they could not find a breakthrough.
Reaction coming up.
Chance!
Whittle’s cross, Denton chests it down and Tshimanga shoots at goal but it is blocked.
Corner comes in, Williams heads over.
Final Blues sub - 83 minutes
Denton comes on to huge applause, his first appearance in a year after two knee injuries. Quigley goes off.
Second Town sub - 69 minutes
Mandeville on, Asante off.
Quigley is booked for something he said to the ref.
Booking
For King. I think that’s his fifth of the season and it means he will miss next week’s match at Eastleigh.
Chance for Tshimanga
Loach’s kick goes long and reaches Quigley on the edge of the box, the ball bounces off him and into the path of Tshimanga who shoots over inside the area. That’s a good chance for someone of his quality.
Chance for Quigley
Great play by Whittle who nudges his man off the ball on halfway and then threads a lovely pass through to Quigley. He drives at goal and gets a shot off and Walker parries for a corner.
From the resulting corner, Maguire heads at goal but it was easily saved by Walker.
Better.
60 played, 0-0.
