@bensportstory.bsky.socialWith a 4-2 triumph over Tranmere Rovers following a trend of positive performances, Chesterfield *could* well be a team going places.
They’ll hope to keep building that momentum against Crawley Town; themselves looking to emerge stronger from an extended break from League Two action ⬇️

Having not fully done so at Cheltenham Town, Chesterfield cashed in a strong creative display with four goals vs Tranmere Rovers.
More on an attacking unit which appears to be gathering steam ⬇️⬇️
@bensportstory.bsky.socialFour goals, three points with two for Josh Koroma off the bench; think it’s safe to say it was indeed a pretty good one for Chesterfield.
Got the result (eventually!) that their previous showing at Cheltenham Town probably also warranted with what was another encouraging display.
@bensportstory.bsky.socialGood A̶f̶t̶e̶r̶n̶o̶o̶n̶ Morning from the SMH Group Stadium!
Usual SpireitesTV duties for me today, with reflections for @thespireiteherald.bsky.social over the next couple of days.
A combined 49 shots for Chesterfield and Tranmere Rovers last weekend; their meeting *should* make for a good one.
@bensportstory.bsky.socialOr if you’d prefer your preview in audio form:
(Cheltenham Town defeat and Chey Dunkley’s loan departure to Solihull Moors also discussed!)
@bensportstory.bsky.socialChesterfield and Tranmere Rovers racked up a combined 49 shots (23 on target) last weekend…yet collected just a single point between them to show for it.
If both sides can channel some of those frustrations in the right way, Saturday’s game should be an entertaining one.

@bensportstory.bsky.social analyses Chesterfield’s recent defeat to Cheltenham Town in League Two 👇
@bensportstory.bsky.socialAfter a bit of a difficult August, Chesterfield are one positive result from completing an unbeaten September (what would be seven games all comps.)
That’s unlikely to come easy though against a Cheltenham Town side who appear resurgent under local legend Steve Cotterill.
Preview ⬇️
@bensportstory.bsky.socialThough “only” an EFL Trophy game, found last night’s clash between Chesterfield and Port Vale intriguing.
The Spireites struggled slightly in the first half, but some well-timed tweaks (at both ends of the pitch) provided a path back into the contest ⬇️
@bensportstory.bsky.socialYou may have noticed (though I hesitate to highlight if you haven’t!) that I’ve been off-duty for a couple of weeks.
Naturally, Chesterfield won all three games in my absence. 😅
Back on SpireitesTV tonight, with some pieces on @thespireiteherald.bsky.social to come later in the week.
@bensportstory.bsky.socialAlso available is an audio preview of this afternoon’s match with @mattlockrhodes.bsky.social and myself via the latest ‘The Spireite Herald’ podcast.
Remaining bits of post-Gillingham chat and transfer/squad list news were covered too!
@bensportstory.bsky.socialMorning!
It’s the second of back-to-back games at the SMH Group stadium today and Barnet should bring a good test.
This fixture has brought plenty of Chesterfield wins (and goals!) in recent times but the visitors do arrive on a run of 13 unbeaten in the league ⬇️
@bensportstory.bsky.socialThere was tangible surprise at 6:30 on Tuesday evening when Paul Cook opted to name an unchanged XI.
By 8:30 that looked a masterstroke with a resurgent Chesterfield 1-0 up at half-time.
Come 9:30 familiar frustrations returned as they slipped to a draw, but there were positive steps ⬇️

To quote Martin Tyler - “AND IT’S LIIIIIIVE!!”
@bensportstory.bsky.socialBack-to-back home games coming up for Chesterfield and already they feel pretty big.
Early table-toppers Barnet the obvious test on paper but how the Spireites handle a likely stubborn Gillingham side will also be of significant interest.
