Second Spireites sub - 70 minutes

Khan off, Mandeville on.

Big chance

For Khan to make it 0-3 after Kellermann played him in. He was one-on-one but he seemed to dither a bit and Boot smothered the ball.

Let’s hope that doesn’t come back to bite them.

25 minutes to go.

King

Cuts inside and lets fly on his left boot but it goes high and wide.

Loach

Goes into the book for a foul on the far side after a poor touch allowed him to be closed down when he was trying to clear the ball.

Town need to be careful not to let get complacent this half.
