Tallly should have given the advantage in the 22nd minute when he reached the crossroads of New York along the box, but globuled his shot with the left foot of Ryan Boot’s goal.
Josh Kelly later approached the half -hour mark when he tested the start after linking Bugiel well inside the penalty area.
Bugiel thought he had given Jackson’s team just before part time when he with a header inside the area, but his effort Boots and Smith could not apply the end in the rebound.
Neinder’s side had a really clear effort in the goal in the second half, with Alistair Smith testing the start from a distance in the 83rd minute a note.
Tactical approach
Jackson aligned with the same training he had done during the season, with New York and Tilley playing while Wing supports in a five rear.
Callum Maycok entered for the suspended Jake Reeves, with Josh Kelly and Matty Stevens aligning Omar Bugiel.
Aron Sasu and Osman Foyo moved behind Bugiel after 60 minutes, but Neith could have a real impact on finding the background of the network.
Jackson brought Joe Pigott while looking to find a winner in a tight contest, but his route to the goal was still blocked.
Rigor
Olakibe It was a constant threat to Paul Cook’s side and is the difficult and direct end type that each side needs.
Better
Full time. It was far from being a classic or extreme football that flowed the beginning of its Easter weekend.
They were two very solid defensive teams, with Chesterfield still having an external possibility of sneaking into the play-offs.

I could have a leg rehearsal for a two -game dress at the end of the season.
Party groan
Lack of magic to unlock visitors.
The January firm of Marcus Browne brought a creative spark in the middle of the field to help create opportunities for Matty Stevens, with the former Oxford attacker also helping goals along the way.
Kelly and Bugiel work hard for the team, but in the search for three points, Browne’s absence was particularly noticed.
A point of conversation in the pub
It looks like play-offs.
The Top of the League Dos is playing the most aggressive pass game of the package with the title, without one side fleeing and the current leaders Port Vale lost in the Carlisle descent candidates on Friday.
The Dons are four points out of the third: they placed Bradford and must overcome Gillingham, who have nothing mathematically to play for now, Monday to maintain their possibilities of straight promotion.
What the boss had to say
“We were never flying to this team. We pushed and tried to win it.
“I can’t disappoint with the boys. We wanted to win the game to put ourselves in a better position, but with three games for the end, we are still in it and fight for automatic places.

“It’s a loan for players. They did everything to try to win. We were the best team in the second half.
“We limit them very little and I don’t think they had a chance in the goal.
“If there was going to be a winner in the second half, it was going to be us. But if you leave, they will choose you.
“We are not at that stage where we needed to do that.”
