Chesterfield v Aldershot Town: LIVE UPDATES

Key Events

Saves easily from sub Panayiotou after Maguire gave the ball away and the visitors countered.

To find a winner.

Come on you Blues!

From Khan from about 30 yards goes narrowly over.

Town are knocking on the door.

Second Town sub - 69 minutes

Mandeville on, Asante off.

Quigley is booked for something he said to the ref.

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.

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.

From the edge of the box is straight at Walker.

First Town sub - 55 minutes

Miller off, Whittle on.

Big chance for Aldershot

Oxlade-Chamberlain knocked Maguire off the ball in the box, Town want a foul but not given, the Shots man plays the ball across the six-yard box but nobody is there. A let-off for the hosts.
