Howard is called into action, parrying from Mandeville from inside the area.

Banks is back up and looks okay, by the way.

2-0, 20 minutes to go.

Some concern here as Banks is down after a challenge. Physio is on. Looks in a lot of pain.

Does well to test Howard from distance, parried.

30 minutes to go, 2-0.

Neat play around the box between Dobra, Asante and Quigley. The latter tries to dig out a shot but it has no power.

Double sub for Wrexham. Davies on, Lee off. Mendy on McFadzean off. No surprise about McFadzean, he’s had a nightmare.

By Oldaker to track Lee and slide the ball out for a corner.

Oldaker switches play from right to left, Asante controls, plays in Horton, who crosses for Quigley at the near post. The striker tries a cheeky flick, but Howard claims.

Here we go in the second-half.

HT: Chesterfield 2 v 0 Wrexham

Superb half from the Spireites. That was electric. Wrexham booed off.

Go over the bar, one from Dobra and one from Quigley.

Two minutes added.
