- 5' It’s high time John Coleman made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for John Marquis suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Portsmouth FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 18' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Ronan Curtis makes no mistake. 0-1!
