Match Preview
Ford needs running repairs Defender Simon Ford remains the only doubt for Chesterfield ahead of their first home game of the season against fellow League One newcomers Stevenage. The centre-half missed the midweek Carling Cup tie at Rochdale with a knock he sustained against Tranmere on the opening day of the campaign. Mark Randall was only on the bench on Tuesday night due to a training injury but the midfielder is expected to be fit to start against Boro. Like during last season`s title-winning campaign, crowd favourite Jack Lester is likely to return to the starting line-up at the B2net Stadium after the veteran striker was rested on the road at Rochdale. Manager John Sheridan remains hopeful of adding to his squad ahead of the game after he was let down by two players who had agreed to sign last week. Stevenage have no new problems. Midfielder Rob Sinclair (groin) and goalkeeper Chris Day (finger) missed the opening-day draw with Exeter and the thrilling Carling Cup clash against Peterborough and will remain on the sidelines. Summer signings Guy Madjo and Jennison Myrie-Williams will hope to make their debuts after being included in the squad for the first time this season against Posh on Tuesday night. Boss Graham Westley has options should he wish to make changes but most are attack-minded, with Craig Reid, Ben May, Peter Winn and Chris Beardsley all available to come into the side.

Match Report
Last-gasp Lester denies Borough Jack Lester's stoppage-time header clinched Chesterfield a point in a 1-1 draw and denied Stevenage in the clash between two of last season's promotion teams. Lester struck in the sixth minute of time added on to cancel out Darius Charles' 40th-minute header. Both teams had created some promising positions without carving out a clear chance until Stevenage opened the scoring. A deep corner was headed back by Michael Bostwick and Charles applied the final touch standing on the line. Chesterfield should have equalised before half-time, but Lester headed Drew Talbot's cross against a post from two yards. Lester fired just wide in the 62nd minute, but the visitors were reduced to 10 men four minutes later when Bostwick was sent off for a second yellow card when he caught Mark Allott late. Stevenage looked like holding out, but Lester had the last word when he got between two defenders to head in Dean Morgan's cross.
