    Notts County have had two chances in this second half, Sam Austin put it over the bar and then the Connor Rawlinson header from 7-8 yards out and it went inches wide.

    They have looked toothless in attack otherwise despite having the record goalscorer at this level.

    Chesterfield 1-0 Notts County

    Notts County with plenty of possession but Chesterfield keep pushing them back in the final third.

    When the Magpies get close they're popping off loose crosses that are sailing high and wide out of play.

    They look a little out of ideas.

    Less than 15 minutes left.

    Chesterfield still on top but Notts County have had a much better second half.

    They're not creating loads of opportunities but it does feel like they could sneak a cheeky goal .... possibly.

    I can’t take the credit for this fun stat myself.

    But a colleague told me earlier that Chesterfield boss Paul Cook secured Portsmouth’s promotion to League One with a win over Notts County in 2017.

    So he has previous good form against the Magpies in these big games.

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 70 mins

    Chesterfield make their first change of the game.

    Ollie Banks comes on for Ryan Colclough.

    A slightly more defensive substitution.

    He should score, he's seven yards out. He gets too much of a glance on the header.

    Any further contact and it should have been in the back of the net as it was certainly on target.

    That was a great ball in. Connell Rawlinson had a free header from just yards out.

    It's just shaved that far post.

  9. CLOSE!published at 67 mins

    Chesterfield 1-0 Notts County

    Jodi Jones sends a left footed cross into the box but it is headed just wide by Connell Rawlinson.

    What a chance for Notts County.

    It looked like it was going in.

    So much better from Notts County right now.

    They're getting the ball into the Chesterfield area but there are just so many blue shirts swarming them and getting blocks in.

    Notts County have scored in all but one game this season, across all competitions.

    Can they find the back of the net today?

    Just under 30 minutes of normal time left.

    There is so much riding on this game.

    Gaining promotion to League Two is huge for teams not only in terms of relevance but also financially.

    Whoever wins today will receive a boost in finance from the EFL from next season and a cash boost from the Premier League as well.

    Matchday TV deals will also come next season and improved sponsorship opportunities.

    There is so much at stake.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 55 mins

    Chesterfield 1-0 Notts County

    Notts County do indeed make the first change of this promotion final.

    Jodi Jones is on for Adam Chicksen in that left wing back position.

    Can he work the same magic that he did in the semi-final against Boreham Wood?

  14. Postpublished at 54 mins

    Chesterfield 1-0 Notts County

    Notts County boss Luke Williams has to be looking to the bench right now.

    The semi-final goal hero Jodi Jones is waiting to come on.

    Also, Cedwyn Scott, who has scored 15 goals this season, is riding the pine too.

    That was a dangerous moment. Chesterfield will have to manage periods like that throughout the game.

    They will have to be resolute with defending against Notts County and make sure there are lots of blue shirts in the box.

    That was a warning for Chesterfield.

    Chesterfield 1-0 Notts County

    Notts County with a huge opportunity.

    Aaron Nemane with the long pull back pass from the nearside finds Sam Austin just outside the box in the middle.

    He takes a touch but blasts the ball over the bar.

    My word .... that was the best chance the Magpies have had and it wasn't even on target.

    Notts County have made a reasonable start to this season half.

    They have got to be patient with attacking play, they can't force it. The early signs are promising but they are very early signs.

  18. Postpublished at 47 mins

    Chesterfield 1-0 Notts County

    An aggressive start from Notts County who are working the space around the Chesterfield box.

    A show of intent from the Magpies who are trying to set the tone.

  19. SECOND HALFpublished at 45 mins

    Chesterfield 1-0 Notts County

    We are back underway.

    No changes for either side.

    Can Notts County find a way back into this game?

    Can Chesterfield keep up the energy they displayed in the first half and hold on to this lead?

    Not sure many at Wembley saw that half coming - Chesterfield are in control and Notts County look off the pace, for whatever reason.

    The Chesterfield fans around me are loving their team's first half performance - keep it up and the Football League beckons.

    Chesterfield's supporters will be happy with their side's performance against Notts CountyImage source, Chris Coles
