Spireites Match Preview: Bristol Rovers (A)
13.11.26, 11:51 3 Minute Read
Chesterfield will look to carry the momentum gained from a couple of successful cup outings back into their League Two campaign as they travel to Bristol Rovers on Saturday.
Spireites supporters and players alike will likely still be riding the high of Tuesday night’s memorable derby win over Mansfield Town, in which they rallied from 3-1 down to seal a 5-3 Jersey Mike’s Trophy triumph.
That was preceded by another eventful encounter in the FA Cup, with Paul Cook’s side eventually securing a place in the second round of the competition via a 4-3 home victory over Yeovil Town.
Those results came as a welcome boost after a bruising 4-1 loss at Newport County last time out in the league; one which ultimately saw the Spireites slip out of the play-offs places and down to 10th in the standings.
