O'Hare blow for Spireites

Chesterfield will be without Alan O'Hare for three months after the defender fractured his foot in Wednesday's Johnstone's Paint Trophy victory over Chester City.
The 24-year-old was replaced in the last minute of normal time, before the Spireites went on to beat their League Two opposition on penalties.
"It is sad for Alan because he has had a good start to the season and was starting to make the left-back position his own," said Chesterfield manager Roy McFarland.
"It looks as though he could be out for up to three months - assuming everything is straight-forward with the injury.
"For the time being we fortunately have a ready-made replacement in Phil Picken who can slot into that position."
