WREXHAM REACTION: Cook urges Spireites to 'stick together' as they feel the 'pain' after defeat to promotion rivals
Chesterfield manager Paul Cook urged everyone to ‘stick together’ as they feel the ‘pain’ following Tuesday night’s 2-0 defeat to promotion rivals Wrexham.
It’s all over
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.
