Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Cheltenham Town FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' It’s high time Neill Collins made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 15' Cheltenham Town FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 20' Barnsley FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 25' 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 Corey O'Keeffe suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Greg Sloggett, as he is very good at scoring at Oakwell Ground with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 35' Cheltenham Town FC is showing some good football. However, Cheltenham Town FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 40' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 45' Liam Roberts needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 50' The travelling Cheltenham Town FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 55' Aidan Keena has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 33 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 60' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 65' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mael de Gevigney made 340 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 70' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 75' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 80' Cheltenham Town 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.
- 85' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Barnsley FC that had 385 games and scored 496 goals.
- 90' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- The final score is 0-0.
