    On Thursday, Bristol Rovers assistant manager Paul Raynor announced that he has been diagnosed with bowel cancer.

    Raynor told club media that he will begin treatment on 12 October and plans to be present on matchdays if he feels well enough to do so.

    "It's going to be a six-or seven-month long process but the good news is they're telling me that the chances of success are high," he said.

    "Everyone has been so positive. The consultants and the Macmillan nurses have been amazing and the support I've had on social media from players, ex-players and everyone around the club has been fantastic.

    "That helps to keep you positive and obviously it's been a bit of a daunting time, but we're staying positive and going full steam ahead."

  3. 'You've got to make an impact when you come on'

    FT: Chesterfield 4-2 Tranmere

    Chesterfield

    Chesterfield's three goalscorers have been speaking to Sky Sports at full-time...

    Dilan Markanday: "In the first half we were excellent. Our performances this season have been up from last season, we've been outstanding. We wanted to take the game away from them, we're disappointed they got the equaliser, but with the quality we have, we feel like we can take the game away from teams and that's what we did today."

    Louie Marsh: "[When Tranmere equalised] that's football. But like Dilan said, we've got enough quality off the bench and on the pitch to provide a win like we did today."

    Josh Koroma: "I'm buzzing to win. Once you're not starting, you've got to make an impact when you come on. We were drawing but [the coaching staff] told me I'd get chances and I just need to take them when they come."

  4. 'A lot to like about this Chesterfield side'

    FT: Chesterfield 4-2 Tranmere

    Lee Turnbull
    Former Chesterfield player on BBC Radio Sheffield

    The first-half performance from Chesterfield was exceptional. That performance level has suggested that if you can sort out consistency, you will win games.

    Fair play to Tranmere at half-time - they came out of the blocks in the second half and made it difficult. They got the equaliser and it was in the balance.

    But in the last 15 minutes, Paul Cook made some changes and they went for it.

    It wasn't a case of hanging on. Josh Koroma scored two goals in a matter of minutes to put the game out of sight. It was the right result in the end.

    There's a lot to like about this Chesterfield side.

  5. FT: Chesterfield 4-2 Tranmere

    Match stats under Josh Koroma of Chesterfield

    Chesterfield have now had 53 shots on goal across their past two games.

  6. 'A great advert for League Two'

    FT: Chesterfield 4-2 Tranmere

    Lee Turnbull
    Former Chesterfield player on BBC Radio Sheffield

    Paul Cook will be delighted with the outcome of that game. A great advert for League Two football.

    We're nine games in and currently the Spireites are sixth in the league.

    I think they've got a really good opportunity now to go to Crawley. When they do get on a run, I can see this side really kicking on.

  7. League Two as it stands

    FT: Chesterfield 4-2 Tranmere

    League Two top-10 as is stands

    This could all look very different in a few hours but for now the Spireites are into the top six while Tranmere could lose their grip on 11th before teatime.

  8. FT: Chesterfield 4-2 Tranmere

    Chesterfield go sixth as it stands, just before everyone else gets playing anyway.

  9. 'I did say there would be goals!'

    FT: Chesterfield 4-2 Tranmere

    Lee Turnbull
    Former Chesterfield player on BBC Radio Sheffield

    Credit where credit's due as Tranmere have kept going and pulled one back.

    It's a good crisp clean strike from Slater and now it's 4-2. I did say there would be goals, they just took a while to happen!

  10. FULL-TIME

    Chesterfield 4-2 Tranmere

    All over! Cracking game.

  11. goal

    GOAL - Chesterfield 4-2 Tranmere

    Jacob Slater (90 mins)

    Goodness me. We did expect goals but just maybe not all of them in the last few minutes. Left-back Jacob Slater slams in a lovely if worthless finish.

  12. Koroma 'could have had a hat-trick'

    Chesterfield 4-1 Tranmere

    Lee Turnbull
    Former Chesterfield player on BBC Radio Sheffield

    It's game over now and it's the substitute Josh Koroma. What an impact he's made - he could have had a hat-trick!

  13. goal

    GOAL - Chesterfield 4-1 Tranmere

    Josh Koroma (90 mins)

    Finish! Sub Josh Koroma bursts into space down the left and clinically toe pokes into the far corner. Tranmere have fallen to bits.

  14. Chesterfield 3-1 Tranmere

    Chesterfield had a dodgy spell but just keep creating chances.

    Speaking of which...

  15. Cook 'will be delighted' with response

    Chesterfield 3-1 Tranmere

    Lee Turnbull
    Former Chesterfield player on BBC Radio Sheffield

    Paul Cook will be delighted with this comeback after the Tranmere equaliser. He'll be delighted with how his team responded, particularly in the last 10 minutes of this game.

    I think Chesterfield will just see out the game now in a professional manner and take the three points.

  16. 'Chesterfield have found a way in this game'

    Chesterfield 3-1 Tranmere

    Lee Turnbull
    Former Chesterfield player on BBC Radio Sheffield

    I'm confidently going to predict game over now. There is palpable relief around the SMH Group Stadium.

    This second half has been hard work for the Spireites but they've found a way in this game - and that's what good teams do.

  17. goal

    GOAL - Chesterfield 3-1 Tranmere

    Josh Koroma (85 mins)

    That will do it! Josh Koroma is some player to be bringing on in League Two and he shows his quality with a low drive from the edge of the box after more good work from Louie Marsh.

    Harrison Male got a touch but couldn't stop it.

  18. 'Relief around stadium' after Spireites' second

    Chesterfield 2-1 Tranmere

    Lee Turnbull
    Former Chesterfield player on BBC Radio Sheffield

    Relief around this stadium because the Spireites really have been disjointed in this second half.

    The pressure was just cranking up. Tranmere have been a real nuisance to Chesterfield in this second half, but the home side just have that bit more quality and that's where games are won.

    Hopefully now they can put this game to bed.

  19. goal

    GOAL - Chesterfield 2-1 Tranmere

    Louie Marsh (83 mins)

    It has been coming!

    But who would be a goalkeeper? Minutes after making that excellent save, Harrison Male is beaten by a cruel deflection.

    Dilan Markanday does the work down the right and finds Louie Marsh in the middle, his powerful shot is on target but would be saved comfortably until it hits the boot of a defender and flies in.

  20. GREAT SAVE!

    Chesterfield 1-1 Tranmere

    Ah that's the best save of the day! Remeao Hutton this time delivers a cross with his left foot and picks out Lee Bonis, who thumps in a header and Harrison Male agains pushes it away.

    That was excellent keeping.
