- 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Conor Shaughnessy, as he is very good at scoring at Bloomfield Road with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 30' Portsmouth FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
- 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Daniel Grimshaw made 436 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 40' 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.

- 85' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 85 minutes.
- 90' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- The final score is 0-0.
