  • 5' Morgan Feeney has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' 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 Lee Evans suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' It’s high time Steve Bruce made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Harry Tyrer, as he is very good at scoring at Bloomfield Road with 0 goals in the last 0 games.

  • 40' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 45' That looks like a foul for a card for Jordan Rossiter.
  • 50' Shrewsbury Town FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 55' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 59' That looks like a foul for a card for Mal Benning.
  • 60' Dominic Ballard has so much to prove this time. He replaces Sonny Carey on 60 minute.
  • 61' Blackpool FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Robert Apter on 61.
  • 66' Shrewsbury Town FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 66.
  • 68' John Marquis is replacing Joshua Kayode for the Shrewsbury Town FC side.
  • 69' The supporters are chanting for Funso Ojo. He replaces Charles Sagoe Jr. on 69 minute.
  • 74' It looks surprising Shrewsbury Town FC does not make any changes. Luca Hoole has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 79' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 80' GOAL! Tom Bloxham scores on 80. Assisted by Funso Ojo
