Chesterfield Preview – Can the Spireites start with a win?
Chesterfield had a poor 2019-20 season in the National League, losing 16 of 38 league matches. After the points per game ratio, the Spireites ended up in 20th place out of 24 teams.
After the club sacked John Sheridan in January, John Pemberton took over in February, with the league ending in March. Pemberton had no time to settle before the league came to an abrupt end, although Chesterfield won three of their last five games at the end of last season.
Tuesday’s game at the Technique Stadium will be Chesterfield’s first competitive match since drawing 1-1 at Dover on March 7th. Can the club from Derbyshire kick off their 2020-21 league campaign with a crucial home win this Tuesday?
Hartlepool United Preview – Can Challinor’s troops make it six points from six?
Hartlepool United started their league season with a 2-1 home win over Aldershot last Saturday. Nicky Featherstone scored from the spot to give the Pools a first-half lead, but Craig Tanner levelled for the visitors in the 63rd minute. Four minutes from time, Rhys Oates had the last laugh by netting the winner at Victoria Park.
