Squad News: Caleb Folan (Ankle) & Jamie Lowry (Glandular Fever) are sidelined with Mark Allott suspended our squad looks a little threadbare, but we can now add Rueben Wiggins-Thomas to the professional squad as he has signed a contract until the end of the season. Gareth Davies is expected to cover in midfield with Mark Hughes on the bench.

Bradford on the other hand welcome back Ben Muirhead to the squad following a sending off in a reserve match. Doubts over Ben Parker and the mercurial Dean Windass hamper the Bantams after their extra time defeat to Millwall in the FA Cup. Stats suggest that Bradford were all over Millwall and it was a travesty that they lost to the South Londoners. Definitely out is former Everton youngster Steven Schumacher as he's picked up five yellow cards and begins a one game suspension.

Bradford's Last Six : LDDWLL

Spireites at Valley Parade/Bradford & Bingley Stadium:

05/06 L1 L 0-2
04/05 L1 W 3-2 Nicholson (pen) Folan (2)
95/96 L1 L 1-2 McDougald
85/86 LC1 D 2-2 Moss, P Brown (pen)
82/83 L1 L 0-1

Form suggests that we may get minimum of a point here possibly even a win, Bradford are not on a good run of form and the knives are sharpening for Colin Todd. Even after dominating their FA Cup match midweek they still lost thanks to an own goal from Nathan Doyle.

We on the other hand are five games unbeaten and are slowly getting our act back together, after a deserved away draw performance at Crewe we hope to find Bradford down on their luck this time but we will always have to look over our shoulders at the relegation spots.

Final mention will go to Jamie Lowry who had Glandular Fever and we wish him all the best, Jamie is likely to be out of action for the rest of the season.

Allott Suspended
