Win against Chesterfield would ‘send statement that we mean business’
Speaking to The Leader, Wrexham’s Luke Young, said: “I would snap your hand off for another 2-0 win (like last season). I would take a 1-0 win if we come away with three points.
“We got one point (against Yeovil) but if we can go to Chesterfield and really put in a performance and try and come away with a win, it really sends a statement out to the rest of the league that we mean business this year.”
