Line-up
Would expect there to be two or three changes tonght for Town. Can’t see the back three changing, but can certainly see Angelo Cappello coming into the starting 11 after his spell away with Belize. He was in good form for Town before that and gives the side lots of energy and dynamism, something that was sorely lacking on Saturday. If he does come in I’d imagine it would be for Ryan Galvin, who did OK on Saturday but his deliveries from out wide were poor. Would also expect Jack Evans to come in, for similar reasons to Cappello, and would have thought that would be for Jack Hunter. Can also see Aaron Cosgrave starting in place of Rob Harker. CM talked about wanting more desire and hunger in the opposition box, so reading between the lines, that could be a hint that Cosgrave may get another chance up top, while he would also offer plenty of pace on the counter-attack
Thoughts
Can’t help but fear for Town on a night like this. Yes they have a good record on these types of occasions - think Solihull away last season, Wrexham at home, Chesterfield away and Notts County away in previous recent seasons - but The Spireites are in fantastic form, scoring bundles of goals, have some superb attacking options, and Halifax are coming off the back of a listless, lethargic performance in defeat at home to strugglers Dorking. The Shaymen will have to play much better than that if they’re to get anything here, that’s for sure
