“We will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing result against Bury on Tuesday. Darrell’s View:


”They [Chesterfield] have changed everything since we played them last so it will be a completely different test to back in November but we will be looking to get all three points".


 This weekend's opponents Chesterfield currently sit in 23rd position in the SkyBet League One table with 33 points from their 38 games so far this season. The Spirites have potentially turned a corner recently picking up five points from their last four games including a 3-3 draw with Peterborough last time out. Opposition:

 The former Wolverhampton Wanderers man has been back in the Spireites side recently, scoring the opening goal in their 3-3 draw with Peterborough on Tuesday.
