Spireites Back Into Play-Off Spots After Win At Bradford. Match Report


Wednes
day 1st April 2015
by Howard Borrell




The Spireites got their play off push back on track thanks to a gift of a goal in first half added time from Byron Harrison.

The Spireites got their play off push back on track thanks to a gift of a goal in first half added time from Byron Harrison.The late-choice striker notched his first for the club after Gary Mackenzie made a hash of his nod back to the home keeper; Harrison (left), saw the opening, nipped in rounded Williams and slotted coolly home to give the Spireites a priceless interval lead.

There was little to choose between the sides in a scruffy first half but the Spireites bossed the second period and comfortably saw the game out for a crucial three points that really puts the team back among the mix as they slotted back into sixth place and a play-off berth.

As the fixtures run out, the Spireites arrived at Valley Parade knowing that, to keep their play-off hopes alive, a positive result was vital.

They had no new injury worries after the narrow win at the weekend over Walsall but Paul Cook chose to freshen up the starting eleven - no doubt conscious of the game at Yeovil just three days later - and made two changes. Byron Harrison and Ritchie Humphreys started in a 4-5-1 formation and Ollie Banks and Jay O'Shea stood aside; Armand Gnanduillet was scheduled to start but picked up a late knock.

The Spireites started strongly and Gary Roberts tried a forty yard speculative shot from the left that flew over.

James Hanson was a handful and twice went close; an early header was saved and he narrowly failed to connect with a great ball in from the left.

Just before the quarter hour mark a great ball from Humphreys found Roberts clear; he burst down the right but his final ball in lacked pace and direction.

The Spireites went close after 24 minutes. Roberts started the move; Jimmy Ryan tried his luck from 25 yards, Harrison then laid off and Clucas fired narrowly wide of the left upright.

Another promising six pass move ended with a superb ball into the box from Clucas that just failed to reach Harrison.

In added time at the end of the half, the Spireites took the lead thanks to a shocking defensive error. A ball forward from Roberts saw GaryMacKenzie attempt to head the back to home keeper Williams. Byron Harrison was alert enough to spot the opening and capitalised ruthlessly by poking calmly past the helpless Williams to give the Spireites the edge at the interval.

HT: 0-1

The goal had clearly boosted everyone's confidence as the Spireites started the second period with increased confidence and stroked the ball about with ease.

After 49 minutes it looked like they'd notched a second. From a Roberts corner, Sam Hird hit home from an Ian Evatt ball forward. Initially, Referee Jeremy Simpson looked comfortable with events until he spotted the linesman's flag indicating a contentious offside decision against Clucas.

Just before the hour, Routis floated a free kick to the far post and McArdle with a right footed shot brought a brave save from Tommy Lee. Sam Hird cleared.

City had a claim for a penalty ignored a couple of minutes later after Knott was shoved in the area by Evatt.

After 65 minutes, Sam Morsy gained possession inside his own area and set off on a dazzling run; he couldn't evade all three defenders and had to settle for a flag kick.

The Spireites made two changes and both made a positive contribution. Dieseruvwe went close in a one-on-one with keeper Williams and O'Shea tormented the City defence; after he beat three defenders a free kick seemed the safest option.

Sam Clucas made a great run into the box after 82 minutes but his shot was blasted over.

City huffed and puffed but rarely threatened thanks to a superb battling all-round team performance but special mention must go to Darikwa, Clucas and Hird who ran themselves into the ground for the cause.

City's best chance to equalise didn't come until the final minute of normal time. Substitute Tony McMahon was picked out in the box by Billy Knott's low cross; his shot on the stretch from eight yards out kept out thanks to a sharp reflex save from Lee.

Chesterfield comfortably saw out the six minutes of added time and ended the stronger.

FT: 0-1

Not surprising boss Paul Cook was in a buoyant mood after the game. He explained "It's all about winning, the target now is to keep winning. I told the players if they do we'll end up in a good place."

With the work effort and commitment shown on Tuesday night, that play-off dream seems just a little more achievable.
