FT: Chesterfield 0 v 2 Wrexham

The Spireites played well first-half but didn’t take their chances. Wrexham the better side after the break and they put their opportunities away. Four games without a win for Town. Back-to-back home defeats.

Reaction coming up....we hope.

Whelan fires in a free-kick from the left, the ball bobbles around and it cleared off the line. It’s just not been Chesterfield’s night.

Still time. 0-2.

There was a delay after the first goal when a flare was thrown onto the pitch.

Final Spireites sub - 85 minutes

Khan comes on for Mandeville.

Second Spireites sub - 80 minutes

Williams comes off and is replaced by Joe Rowley.

Looks like Town are preparing a double sub.
