Recap: Chesterfield come from a goal down to beat Dagenham and Redbridge thanks to two Kabongo Tshimanga penalties
The James Rowe era officially ended last night, with the Spireites releasing a statement confirming they had parted ways by ‘mutual consent’ amid allegations of misconduct which emerged last month.
First-team coach Danny Webb will be in charge again today, just like he was last weekend.
The Daggers are ninth in the table, three points off the play-offs.
Our reporter Liam Norcliffe is at the game and will bring you everything you need to know.

Save by Loach
To deny Walker.
Town looking a bit suspect at the back in this last 15 minutes or so.
Two minutes added time.
Big chance for Daggers
Walker almost makes it 0-2 after going past Grimes too easily. He only had Loach to beat but he struck it wide.
Big let off.
Almost half-time.
Good shot by Asante
Forces a save from Justham in the Daggers goal.
That was Town’s first on target.
39 played, 0-1.
Goal for Dagenham: 0-1
Walker gives the visitors the lead on 35 minutes. His neat finish clips the post on the way in.
Booking
For Tshimanga. He goes down under a challenge in the box but the referee books him for diving. Difficult to say from here whether that was the right call.
Off the post
Khan is booked for stopping a dangerous counter.
Wright takes the resulting free-kick, strikes it well and it clips the outside of the post.
32 played, 0-0.
Applause for Jordan Sinnott
Goes around the stadium as all four sides of the ground stand up and clap on 25 minutes for the former Spireite who passed away two years ago. Credit to the referee who delayed the taking of a throw-in to allow the players to join with the applause.
