Recap: Chesterfield's frustrations in front of goal continue at Solihull Moors

Chesterfield are back on the road today as they visit Solihull Moors (3pm KO).

The Spireites have not won any of their last five matches, losing four of them, but they stopped the rot with a draw at Aldershot Town in midweek.

Solihull lost in last season’s play-off final but are currently midtable this term.

Our reporter Liam Norcliffe is at the game and will bring you everything you need to know.

Moors’ current form

Neal Ardley’s men are 15th in the form table from the last six matches.

They have won two, drew one and lost three.

Andrew Dallas is Solihull’s top scorer this season with 13 goals in 32 league games.

Joe Sbarra is next on eight.

Spireites injury news

The Spireites will still be without Akwasi Asante, Danny Rowe and Manny Oyeleke.

The good news is Asante’s groin injury is not as bad as first feared and he is set to return to training next week.

Rowe is doing some individual fitness work, but Oyeleke is not ready and is unlikely to feature any time soon.

But Bailey Clements is available again and will travel with the squad.

Liam’s predicted line-up

I’ll go for the one change with Clements replacing Horton.

King is back from suspension so should be involved.

4-2-3-1: Fitzsimons; Sheckleford, Palmer, Grimes, Clements; Jones, Banks; Mandeville, Akinola, Dobra; McCallum.

Subs: Maguire, King, Oldaker, Colclough, Quigley.

Minute’s silence

There will be a minute of silence ahead of the game for former National League chairman and president, Brian Lee, who passed away earlier this week. Black armbands will also be worn by the players as a mark of respect.
