Final change - 80 mins

Mandeville off, Mitchell on.

By Evans to deny Hughes in the box. Put his body on the line there.

Sweep up at the back when it looked like Wealdstone were in. He then saves from Lewis. 15 to go, 0-0. Come on, Town!

Dinanga beats the offside trap but is denied by the legs of Wealdstone goalkeeper Shelvey. Carline then heads over from Whelan’s cross. Better from Town. 20 to go, 0-0.

Whelan replaces McCourt on the hour.

Another smart save from Montgomery after Wealdstone countered following McCourt’s poor corner. That was another warning sign for Town. 57 gone, 0-0.

Top reaction save from Montgomery to keep out Lo-Everton’s volley at the back post. Could be a big moment that.

Carline heads Mandeville’s cross from the right just wide. Big chance.

Big appeal for a penalty

For Chesterfield. McCourt’s cross from the right pops up off the surface and looked to hit a Wealdstone hand. There were big appeals but the ref waves them away. The ball still fell to Dinanga but he was snuffed out.
