Wrexham v Chesterfield: LIVE UPDATES

Key Events

  • FT: Wrexham 1 v 1 Chesterfield (7.45pm KO)
  • Fraser Kerr gives Town lead on six minutes
  • Kabongo Tshimanga has penalty saved before half-time
  • Paul Mullin heads equaliser on 84 minutes
  • Four changes for Chesterfield as Maguire, Kellermann, Carline and Rowe replace Grimes, McCourt, Mandeville and Payne
  • Loach; Kerr, Gunning, Maguire; King, Weston, Kellermann, Carline; Khan; Rowe, Tshimanga. Subs: Grimes, Miller, Whittle, Mandeville, Payne

Looks like Chesterfield have lined-up with a back four. At times Khan is joining Rowe and Tshimanga to mak it three up front. However, at times, it seems to change to a three. We’ll keep an eye on that.

Maguire is booked for a challenge just inside Chesterfield’s half.

Spireites lead 1-0.

Has a shot on target from distance but it was an easy save for Lainton.

KERR!!!

Chesterfield lead 1-0 after six minutes. King’s deep free-kick is met by Gunning at the far post and Kerr turns it in.

An in-swinging corner for Wrexham gets caught in the wind and crashes against the bar.

Before that, Loach had to make a save from Hosannah.

Closing in on kick-off

Here we go then, folks.

I have to say the atmosphere here is crackling, it has got the feel of a really big game.

The warm-ups are done, and the rain has stopped (at least for now).

Stay with us for all the big talking points from the next 90 minutes.

Possible formation change?

Carline, Kerr, Gunning and Maguire are going through a warm-up routine here which suggests a change to four at the back. We shall see.

A group of Wrexham and Chesterfield fans have been ‘exchanging pleasantries’ with each other inside the ground since about 6.50pm....it could be an interesting evening!

Four changes for Chesterfield as Laurence Maguire, Jim Kellermann, George Carline and Danny Rowe replace Jamie Grimes, Jak McCourt, Liam Mandeville and Stefan Payne.

Loach; Kerr, Gunning, Maguire; King, Weston, Kellermann, Carline; Khan; Rowe, Tshimanga.

Subs: Grimes, Miller, Whittle, Mandeville, Payne.

So a debut for Kellermann. King and Carline on the flanks. Maguire back in for Grimes and Rowe starts ahead of Payne. Still no Oyeleke. No McCourt in squad.
