    Wrexham 1-0 Yeovil

    Paul Mullin chases one into the corner, and gives Wrexham an opportunity.

    However, the Yeovil defence is back in numbers and stifles the big man.

    He'll keep doing that though, can't fault his strike rate or work-rate.

    That is quite a good chance for Frank Nouble, he has snatched at it a touch. I wonder if he could have taken an extra second before hitting it.

    Great save by Mark Howard because he has not had a lot to do.

    He had to spring into gear and leap across because I think that was nestling into the far corner if he hadn't.

  4. CLOSE!published at 36 mins

    Wrexham 1-0 Yeovil

    Superb effort by Charlie Cooper after the attempted Wrexham clearance wasn't good enough.

    Cooper hit it on the half-volley and Mark Howard had to be alert.

    The corner came to little.

    Sometimes after scoring Wrexham have a lull and then they come back. I’m confident they’ve got the firepower to do so again, but they don’t make things easy for themselves. Yeovil are still in this.

    Wrexham 1-0 Yeovil

    Wrexham come close again, James McClean screeching down the left and sending in a delivery which sailed tantalisingly close to goal.

  7. YELLOW CARDpublished at 32 mins

    Wrexham 1-0 Yeovil

    Yeovil midfielder Charlie Cooper (not the one from This Country), flies in to challenge James McClean, and Lee Swabey is prompted to issue a yellow.

    You can see in his face he's a chip off the old Cooper block. Not sure dad will be chuffed with the booking though.

    Wrexham 1-0 Yeovil

    Michael Smith is another star in this Yeovil team.

    His goal for Hearts against Aberdeen a few years back is as good as you'll see anywhere. Check it out.

    Smith is the architect, exchanging passes and then a header to put Frank Nouble in, but his shot is high and wild.

    A fantastic result and performance from the Spireites. This was a difficult tie against a good Orient side and they kept them at arm’s length and looked a threat on the counter-attack. They fully deserve their win and fully deserve their day in the sun against Watford in the third round.

    Chesterfield are on a roll. They can take on anyone at the moment. They can take on any team and give anyone a game. Going to Watford will hold no fear at all for this Chesterfield team. In fact, I think they will thoroughly enjoy taking on one of the big boys of the Championship.

    Wrexham 1-0 Yeovil

    Yeovil defender Duncan Idehen has been putting himself about a bit early on here.

    Gets a talking to.

    Paul Mullin gets in behind Idehen as Wrexham play over the top, but the covering Jake Wannell does enough to put him off his stride.

  11. 'A fair result'published at 16:11 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2023

    FT: Aldershot 2-2 Stockport

    Phil Brown
    Former Bolton assistant manager on BBC Radio Manchester

    When I saw Stockport bring their A-game in the first 15 minutes of the second half I thought there was only going to be one-way traffic and one result. But they let Aldershot back into the game and it was a fair result.

    Wrexham 1-0 Yeovil

    Suffocating dominance from Wrexham.

    They're pushing right on.

    Elliot Lee, whose family has some FA Cup pedigree in the shape of dad Rob, crosses but Yeovil get it clear.

    Yeovil fans 'serenading' their opposite number with chants of 'En-ger-land'.

    Wrexham 1-0 Yeovil

    Another powerful run down the left by James McClean is found by Paul Mullin's turn and pass, but his fierce drive across goal just can't squeeze in the bottom corner.

    If they didn't know it already, McClean is going to be a terror for this defence tonight.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16 mins

    Wrexham 1-0 Yeovil

    Change for Wrexham, as James Jones has to come on for Aaron Hayden, who went straight down the tunnel.

    Early switch, forced by the looks of it.

    Aldershot 2-2 Stockport

    An extremely entertaining game in Hampshire ends level.

    A Josh Stokes brace is enough for Aldershot to earn them a replay at Edgeley Park after goals from Neill Bryne and Paddy Madden had put the away side into a slender second-half lead.

    If we get half the game we have had today in the replay, we are in for a treat. West Brom are waiting for the winner.

    Wrexham have the lead, Andy Cannon bent in a superb cross which Ollie Palmer powerfully headed at goal but Joe Day made a save.

    Unfortunately for Day, the rebound fell straight to Palmer to slam home.

    Wrexham are up and running.

    Wrexham 0-0 Yeovil

    Yeovil show some of their intent, a slick move releases Frank Nouble down the left, and just as his cut back looks like it might reach Jordan Young, James McClean darts in to clear.

    The Glovers are showing some gumption.

    Wrexham 0-0 Yeovil

    James McClean is the outlet for Wrexham, he's already swung in three or four teasing deliveries.

    One of his best lands right on the head of Jacob Mendy, but he can't keep it down as Yeovil breathe a sigh of relief.

  19. FULL-TIMEpublished at 15:56 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2023

    Chesterfield 1-0 Leyton Orient

    Chesterfield are into the third round for the third time in three seasons, and Watford at Vicarage Road await the Spireites.

    It wasn't a classic by any means, but Paul Cook won't care.

    The only goal of the game came just over five minutes before half-time as Brandon Cooper nodded into his own net from Ollie Banks' cross.

    The victory means Chesterfield remain unbeaten at home in all competitions this season, winning their last 11. Some record.

    Wrexham 0-0 Yeovil

    Jordan Young picks up the ball on the right for Yeovil and retreats across to the right patrolled by the guard dog-like James McClean.

    Wrexham squeeze out and push the Glovers back towards their end of the field. That's defending.
