  • 5' Maxime Colin needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Michael Morrison made 383 appearances and scored 20 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' Daniel James is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Swansea City AFC so far.
  • 25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 30' The travelling Swansea City AFC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 35' Erwin Mulder is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Birmingham City FC tonight.
  • 39' Jota Peleteiro catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 39.

  • 49' Lukas Jutkiewicz has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 54' It looks surprising Swansea City AFC does not make any changes. Omar Bogle has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 59' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 64' Swansea City AFC ring the changes. Barry McKay has done his job and it is now time for Leroy Fer to step up.
  • 69' 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 Leroy Fer suffering a number of foals already.
  • 74' 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.
