  • 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 15' Cardiff City FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 20' It’s high time Neil Harris made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 25' Barnsley FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 30' Conor Chaplin needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 25 Yellow cards this season.
  • 35' Marcel Ritzmaier has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

  • 71' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
