- 15' Shrewsbury Town FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 20' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 21' A stunning finish from Daniel Udoh — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 26' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Bolton Wanderers FC and Shrewsbury Town FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .

- 71' Magnificent from Edmond-Paris Maghoma! That is 13 goals in 354 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
