Chesterfield defender walking disciplinary tightrope
The centre-back has made nine appearances this season, starting all of the last six games, scoring two goals.
But he will have to watch his step because he is now one yellow card away from receiving a one-match ban.
The 28-year-old collected his fourth booking of the season in the 1-1 draw at Maidenhead United on Saturday.
One more before the 19th fixture of the campaign will trigger the suspension. With that being seven games away, it seems likely he will have to sit one out in the coming weeks, which would give Ash Palmer another chance to make his claim for a starting spot.
Chesterfield have already had one player reach five yellows this season, with Mike Jones missing the draw against the Magpies at the weekend, but he is available again for the match against Bromley on Tuesday night.
Tom Naylor, Jamie Grimes, Armando Dobra and Ryan Colclough are all on three bookings and are next at risk of a ban.

Laurence Maguire is on loan at Crawley Town until the end of January and he is yet to experience defeat at the Reds.
The defender has made six appearances, scoring twice, including in Saturday’s 3-0 win against Sutton United.
Loz’ has helped Crawley jump to second in the table after going six unbeaten. He has played 90 minutes in all of their last three matches.
Fellow defender Bailey Clements, who is at Eastleigh for a month, made his Spitfires debut in a 3-2 win at Halifax on Saturday. The left-back played the full 90 minutes at The Shay.
Eastleigh, under new manager Richard Hill, have climbed to 13th and are just two points off the play-offs.
Midfielder Bailey Hobson, who is at Kidderminster Harriers for a month, was on the losing side as they were defeated 2-1 at home to Barnet but the youngster played the full 90 minutes and he has received lots of praise after scoring his first goal for the club in the previous game against Oldham Athletic.
Maguire is next in action on Tuesday night as Crawley visit Doncaster Rovers, while Clements could make his first home start for Eastleigh against Ebbsfleet United, while Hobson’s Kiddy travel to in-form Dorking Wanderers.
