Match Preview

Venue: Proact Stadium      Date: April 18th 2014     Kick Off 15:00




Chesterfield boss, Paul Cook will name his Starting line-up this Friday from an unchanged squad with the strong possibility that star man Gary Roberts will be handed back his first team spot.

The Spireites will be wanting to make this ‘Good Friday’ an excellent one by clinching an automatic promotion spot, for this to happen they will need three points themselves and for both, Fleetwood and Burton Albion to drop points.

Without a loss in four league matches, the Midlands side will be full of confidence and will look to replicate the result they got in the reverse fixture this season as they ran away from St James Park 2-0 victors.

Ollie Banks is out for the remainder of the season with a foot injury, therefore he isn't available for Paul Cook’s selection along with Jimmy Ryan who is still suspended.

Exeter have got a fight on their hands towards the end of the season as they look to avoid the trap door. Paul Tisdale’s side sit just two points off Northampton who currently acquire the 23rd spot.

With every match for the remainder of the season being a cup final for the Grecians, three points will definitely be on the agenda no matter how big the challenge may be.

Exeter will be revitalised by the fact that captain Danny Coles is back available for selection but after the recent performances from Pat Baldwin, it won’t be the most straight forward swap.

Both Goalkeepers Christy Pym and Artur Krysiak are also available for selection so Tisdale will have to see who he feels is more worthy of a place in the first eleven.
