Manager Jimmy McNulty praised his Rochdale players after they ended a worrying slump with a much-needed home victory against Aldershot Town who slipped out of the play-off places.
Chesterfield recorded six wins on the bounce for the first time since the 2009-10 season after this rather nervy victory over Wealdstone at the SMH Group Stadium.
Assistant manager Matt Saunders admitted to a feeling of frustration after Wealdstone failed to break down a resolute Altrincham outfit in a tight mid-table clash.
