Town beat Eastleigh, who have the division’s top scorer in former Spireite Paul McCallum, 3-2 in the reverse fixture.

Clements was a man of the match contender last weekend and no doubt he will be keen to play against the side he was on loan at recently. But Horton has been doing very well for a number of months now. It could be similar to the opposite flank where they alternate against Eastleigh and Dagenham. Photo: Richard Heathcote
