- 10' It’s high time Mark Robins made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 20' Coventry City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Thomas Kaminski made 242 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 27' Assisted by Ryan Nyambe with the perfectly-timed delivery and Ben Brereton makes no mistake. 1-0!
- 32' Blackburn Rovers FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 32.
