Daggers' third and final visit to Chesterfield's quaint, but antiquated Saltergate stadium ended the same as the previous two - in a draw!

The Spirerites move to their new £13 millon b2net Stadium across the town for next season.

The fact that John Still's men had to share the spoils again in north-east Derbyshire was due to a home penalty in the final two minutes of normal time, when Daggers substitute Phil Walsh dangled out a foot and Chesterfield midfielder Mark Allott went over it for an obvious penalty, which the home side's own substitute Brian Conlon rammed in for 2-2.

Daggers had led 2-0 in the game from the 50^th minute, thanks to a double from the in-form Danny Green.

Both came from set pieces - the first from a penalty of Daggers' own, somewhat against the run of play, when Allott inexplicably knocked over Jon Nurse when the Daggers wide man was running away from goal in 27 minutes.

Referee Russell Booth awarded the kick on an assistant's flag and GREEN, taking over the spot-kick duties from injured skipper Mark Arber, slotted home a confident kick.

Scott Doe had passed a fitness test on his injured back to partner Anwar Uddin in the centre of defence, who continued as skipper, while the highly versatile Romain Vincelot switched to central midfield alongside Peter Gain.

Uddin made the first telling interception of the game to deny Chesterfield's Wade Small, while Josh Scott was off target with Daggers' first foray forward with a header from Nurse's accurate cross.

Paul Benson charged down a clearance kick from home keeper Tommy Lee, but had no support and the Daggers' top scorer couldn't recover his balance in time to take advantage of the situation.

The penalty award obviously dented the home side's opening salvo and Daggers almost went two up three minutes after going ahead, Scott collecting a loose ball and making a strong run from 30 yards out to finish with a sweet shot past Lee that struck a post and bounced clear!

In the closing minutes of the half, the home side really stepped up the pressure. Skipper Ian Breckin flashed a powerful header from an Adam Rundle free-kick inches over Tony Roberts' crossbar and in the final attack of the half, Jack Lester, returning from injury for the home side, turned well on a bouncing ball and hooked an effort against the crossbar with Roberts beaten.

Half-time Chesterfield 0, Daggers 1

Three minutes after the restart, Daggers had the ball in the net a second time, when Gain picked up a loose ball and struck a rising effort that keeper Lee fingertipped onto the crossbar. When it bounced down, Benson smuggled it into the net, but the effort was chalked off as an assistant's flag indicated that the striker was offside!

It mattered little, two minutes later Daggers were awarded a free-kick 35 yards out and GREEN stepped up to unlease a tremendous, unstoppable strike that arrowed beyond Lee into the top corner.

Chesterfield immediately made a double change, replacing Derek Niven and Rundle with Danny Boshell and Conlon.

Conlon immediately emphasised his threat, heading over a Small cross, after Boshell had created the opening.

Moments later the Derbyshire side were back in the game, when a Boshell corner was headed clear by Doe and from fully 25 yards out, Ismael Demontagac struck a shot similar to Green's beautifully hit effort back past Roberts into the top rigging for 2-1.

With 20 minutes remaining, Daggers made a change of their own, replacing Scott with Walsh, but it was Chesterfield pressing and Roberts made an outstanding save, pushing away Demontagac's fierce shot, as the midfielder shaped up for a second goal.

With three minutes left, Daggers had a glorious chance to seal victory. Uddin put in a fine challenge that saw the ball break kindly to Nurse. He played a ball through that found the marauding Vincelot racing clear, but left with just keeper Lee to beat, the French signing pulled his effort across the face of goal.

It proved costly. A minute later, Vincelot gave away a free-kick on the edge of the Daggers area. Even though Lester's kick was charged down, in the resulting scramble, Walsh tripped up Allott and Daggers were left having to be satisfied with just a point from their final visit to Saltergate.
