Final Spireites sub - 80 minutes
Kerr went up for an aerial challenge and came out with blood pouring from his head.
He is replaced by Grimes for the final 10 minutes.
For the hosts again. Clunan gets played in behind Maguire, he squares to Denton but the cross just evades him. It would have been a tap-in had he made it. Denton claims he was dragged back and wants a penalty but his appeals are waved away.
20 minutes to go, 0-2.
Great save!
Loach doesn’t connect well with a back-pass from Gunning, the Linnets drive forward and the ball is pulled back from the right to Clunan wo is free near the penalty spot, he shoots first time but Loach makes up for his earlier mistake with a top save.
65 gone, 0-2.
Chesterfield
Are getting a lot of joy down the left with Maguire and Miller this half.
The Spireites are not settling for two, they are pushing for a third but need to be careful not to let the hosts back into it.
An hour gone, 0-2.
Almost 3-0
A wonderful patient move sees Mandeville put Miller in down the left. He delivers for Carline who steams in at the back post but his header is tipped over by Jones.
Just before that Loach saved a header from Coleman.
GOOOOOOAAALLLL!!! 0-2
TSHIMANGA AGAIN!
Chesterfield lead 2-0 in the first minute of the second-half. Maguire picks out Carline with a cross to the far post and he heads it back across goal and Tshimanga pokes in for his second of the game.
What a start to this half!
Back underway
We are back underway in the second-half and the sun has kindly come out!
The Spireites are 45 minutes away from a third straight win.
