- 12' Tranmere Rovers FC is showing some good football. However, Tranmere Rovers FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 17' 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 Kieron Morris suffering a number of foals already.
- 22' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Bolton Wanderers FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 27' It’s high time Keith Hill made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

- 42' Jake Caprice needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
