More reaction coming up on the DT website.
Town go close
Mandeville’s cross hits the post and then Dobra’s rebound is superbly saved by Lynch. 2-0.
Goal for Fleetwood: 2-0
2-0. That should be that. Harratt with a stunning finish high into the net from a tight angle. 87 mins.
Triple Town sub - 85
Hobson, Oldaker and Elliott, aged just 16, are on for Banks, Berry and Drummond.
Fleetwood's keeper can't continue...
He is replaced by Lynch. He was involved in that earlier collision with Drummond of course.
Spireites goal ruled out
Grimes heads the ball home from a free-kick but the offside flag is up. Would like to see that one back.
Markanday has a shot blocked and then down the other end Thomson is forced to react to stop a cross drifting all the way in.
Drummond is harshly booked after closing down keeper Harrington, who goes down injured, claiming the striker left a leg dangling.
The hosts are pressing from the front more this half. They aren’t just letting Town have the ball at the back.
HT: Frustrating
HT: Fleetwood Town 1 v 0 Chesterfield
The Spireites have been comfortable in that half but they trail at the break after conceding a soft goal. They’ve had a couple of penalty appeals and forced a triple save just before the whistle. They need to get Markanday into the game more.
So close!
Harrington saves from Mandeville, Drummond and Markanday in quick succession.
And then moments later he parries another shot from Mandeville.
Town building momentum just before half-time.
