SMH Group Stadium From Distance at Night

Spireites Match Preview: Yeovil Town (FA Cup)

Ben Smith looks ahead to the weekend as Chesterfield begin their FA Cup campaign against National League outfit Yeovil Town at the SMH Group Stadium.

Chesterfield will aim to make Saturday the start of a successful run in the FA Cup when Yeovil Town visit the SMH Group Stadium for this weekend’s first round proper tie.

The Spireites could certainly benefit from some renewed reason for optimism, heading into this game off the back of a heavy 4-1 defeat at Newport County in which they were four down before the break.

The manner of that loss has prompted some fresh questions regarding the strength of any promotion credentials held by Paul Cook’s side and, whilst those won’t be truly addressed until they return to League Two action at Bristol Rovers on November 14, a win here would be warmly welcomed regardless.
