Gets a snap-shot off for Chesterfield inside the area on his right foot but it was a comfortable save for Walker. Nice play by the Blues in the build-up.

For Chesterfield’s Williams for a shirt pull to stop a counter.

Nine to the break.

Aldershot are taking their time with goal-kicks and throw-ins, much to the frustration of the home fans.

Almost an own goal for Aldershot

King’s whips in a corner and it takes a deflection off a Shots man before his teammate then hooks it over the bar. Just. Wasn’t far off from going in his own net.

Is well hit from about 30 yards. It is on target but it is straight down the throat of Walker. Town’s first attempt on target.

Half an hour gone.

The Blues have been very poor in possession so far. They can’t keep hold of the ball at all.

As Denton goes out to jog down the touchline.

Great to have him back.

For Aldershot’s Kinsella for a late challenge on King on the halfway line.

Has given away five fouls away already, some a bit harsh, in my opinion.

For Loach from Jordan’s header from an inswinging free-kick wide on the right.

17 played, 0-0.
