- 17' Josh Windass has been relatively quiet despite scoring 63 goals in his last 395 appearances.
- 22' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kal Naismith made 395 appearances and scored 14 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 31' Controversy at the stadium! Chey Dunkley argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
