Match Preview
Hess waiting on duo Gillingham boss Andy Hessenthaler has two injury concerns for the visit of Morecambe. Midfielder Curtis Weston picked up a knock early in the second half of last Saturday's 4-0 romp at Lincoln and he will be assessed before kick-off. If he does not make it, Jack Payne, who replaced him at Sincil Bank, could be in line for a start. Hessenthaler also has a worry over Stefan Payne after the striker sustained an injury in a midweek friendly against Canterbury City. There are no other injury or suspension problems for the Gills as they aim to consolidate their play-off position, where they currently occupy seventh position, having gone 15 games without defeat. Morecambe boss Sammy McIlroy will again be without a trio of players. Paul Scott (knee), Paul Mullin (back) and Kieran Charnock (Achilles) are all sidelined as the Shrimps seek to build on last weekend`s 2-1 home win over Burton. McIlroy has no other injury or suspension concerns but Danny Carlton may have earned himself a starting role after he came off the bench to hit the winner last weekend. Carlton replaced James Spencer on the hour and found the net seven minutes later in an impressive cameo which earned him a ringing endorsement from his boss. McIlroy said: "It was a great finish from Danny Carlton. He had a couple more chances as well and could have scored a hat-trick."

Match Report
Brilliant riposte leaves Spireites on brink Chesterfield had to stage a second-half comeback to claim the 2-1 victory over Macclesfield that takes them to the brink of promotion. A penalty from Lewis Chalmers gave Macclesfield a surprise lead but Craig Davies struck his 24th goal of the season to restore parity before Danny Whitaker's grabbed the winner. Macclesfield's determination was summed up by skipper Nat Brown who hurled himself at the feet of Jack Lester to deny the striker a certain goal in the 29th minute. Brown could not continue but his bravery was rewarded in first-half stoppage time when substitute Emile Sinclair was tripped by Dean Holden and Chalmers coolly converted the spot-kick. Chesterfield thought they had equalised in the 49th minute but an offside flag ruled out Lester's header and it needed a reaction save by Lee to deny Tyrone Barnett a second four minutes later. It was a pivotal moment because in the 60th minute, Sam Wedgbury lost the ball to Davies who smashed a shot into the top-left corner. Whitaker rattled the bar in the 74th minute but the midfielder hit the net two minutes later with a deflected effort.
