Reserves in action against York City

The game ended goalless, although Chesterfield went the closest to getting on the scoresheet in a competitive encounter behind closed doors at Saltergate.

Efforts from Wayne Allison and Colin Larkin went close and Reuben Wiggins-Thomas fired over when set up in the box.

York's best effort came when a fierce cross-shot from transfer target Clayton Donaldson pinged against an upright and rebounded to safety.

Chesterfield starting line-up: Barry Roche, Jamie Lowry (sub Josh Law 46), Janos Kovacs, trialist, Gareth Davies, Jamie Jackson, Reuben Wiggins-Thomas, trialist, Adam Smith (sub Ben Algar 55), Wayne Allison (sub Paul Roome 70), Colin Larkin.
